SENNELIER Oil French Pastel for Professional Artists, Plein Air Wooden Box Set of 36

I won second place in a juried art show using these.

These are the best oil pastels I have tried. They are smooth and creamy and blendable with your fingers.

Very soft, creamy and sticky but I've never seen beautiful colors until I used this one. Very vivid. And very gliding but will easily use up. I love this product

I only checked 2 stars for beginners as this is a super soft pastel. They will literally start to soften and almost melt if it is in your fingers and you create a lot of friction over time. I LOVE this about them though!

Son muy buenos pasteles

These pastels are lipstick for your art. No, seriously. Each one is so smooth that when I pick them up with my finger, a little bit of colorful pastel oil always ends up left behind, on my skin. Now, I'm no Picasso (I'm maybe just a smudge better than a kindergardener in art class), but I've picked up pastels as of late, and this set is mighty fine. A great product, even at this high price point.

It's the softest artist grade oil pastel available today. Their texture is literally like painting with lipstick, very creamy and easy to blend. Very rich pigment, opacity, and excellent light fastness. The box it comes with is a sturdy wooden box with a thick slotted foam holder and a thick foam pad over that. Great to travel with, though they soften easily in the heat so be wary of that.

I absolutely love these pastels. I have bought the 24 color landscape set and recently bought this one. I love the box and it is great for travel as it really protects your pastels. Sennelier oil pastels are wonderful - the color is great and the texture even better. I am officially an addict.

La marca Sennelier es una de mis favoritas y este estuche cumple con todas mis expectativas

Sennelier eben.

I have a few types of oil pastels, and most importantly, Sennelier have different shades/colours from other oil pastels on the market. For me it was crucial. Also, they are the softest oil pastels I have ever used - their consistency is that of a lipstick (they're made even in the same shape!) I use a lot of smudging in my art so I definitely consider it a big advantage. However, if the format of your work was big, you would run out of Senneliers in no time. Furthermore, sometimes I need to make thin lines and Sennelier won't manage. I use Gallery oil pastels then. Overall, I do recommend them, especially when you have experience in using oil pastels and you know how to make the most of it. Also, 24 colours is not enough to produce a decent piece of art, so either go for at least 72 colour range or supplement these 24 with cheaper oil pastels.
