Sennelier Pastel Pencils combine the richness of soft pastels with the control of a pencil, using a unique wood-free format made from pure pastel pigment. Each 7.5mm diameter pencil is a solid stick of semi-soft pastel, delivering maximum color intensity with minimal dust. Highly pigmented and lightfast, they can be sharpened to a fine point for precision or broken and used on the side for broader, expressive marks.
Originally developed by Gustave Sennelier in 1905, this distinctive pastel form bridges the gap between pastel sticks and traditional pencils. The refined range of carefully selected colors has been refined in collaboration with professional artists and inspired by Sennelier’s renowned soft pastels. With a balance of firmness and creaminess, these pastels are excellent for layering, blending, hatching, glazing, and finishing details, whether working in the studio, outdoors, or with mixed media.
This is the color Violet Brown Lake from the Sennelier Pastel Pencil range.
