Sennelier Woodless Pastel Pencils and Set

In 1905, Gustave Sennelier introduced a unique type of semi-hard pastel-wood-free, conical, and richly pigmented-bridging the gap between pastel sticks and pencils. Now, 120 years later, Sennelier reintroduces this iconic concept with a refined range of 48 shades, carefully selected in collaboration with professional artists and inspired by their renowned soft pastels.

Key Features:

• Wood-free format: Pure pigment from end to end with no wood casing—offering more usable color (Ø 7.5 mm core vs. standard Ø 4–4.5 mm pencils).
• Highly pigmented: Exceptional color richness and vibrancy, even with gentle pressure.
• Rich, semi-Soft texture: Balances firmness for control with creaminess for blending—ideal for both precision work and expressive strokes.
• Low dust: Cleaner application than traditional soft pastels.
• Excellent lightfastness: Premium pigments ensure long-lasting brightness and resistance to fading.

Versatile Use:

• Perfect for fine details, lines, and delicate textures
• Use the tip for precision or the edge for broader coverage
• Blend effortlessly with fingers, blending tools, or other pastels
• Combine seamlessly with soft pastels, hard pastels, graphite, or mixed media
• Fixable and layer-friendly for complex compositions
• Easy to sharpen: No need for a sharpener—simply use sandpaper or a rasp for custom shaping.
• Portable & practical: Ideal for outdoor sketching, plein air painting, art classes, and studio use.
• Sold Individually (and in sets): Replenish your favourite shades or expand your palette as needed.
