Ampersand : Pastelbord Panel : White : 9x12in

The Sennelier Oil Pastel Discovery Set of 6 is an excellent introduction to this range of versatile, lipstick-soft, premium quality oil pastels.

Sennelier Oil Pastels are made using the best pigments, an extremely pure synthetic binding medium, and mineral wax. The pigments are ground with an inert, non-siccative binding medium that does not oxidise and that has no effect on either film stability or surface. This base is then mixed with a pH neutral wax. The balance of this mix provides Sennelier oil pastels with a creamy texture that allows for a great deal of freedom in pictorial expression.

Sennelier Oil Pastels possess an extraordinarily high pigment content, thus providing them with high colouring and covering potential, excellent brightness, and a high degree of light stability across the range (with the exception of metallic and fluorescent shades).

This set comes in a robust cardboard storage box and contains the following six colours:

Unison Colour Pastels are made in Northumberland and contain only pure pigments. Unison groups the colours together in sets of related hues, instead of adding white or black pigment to the colours. The result is intense and vibrant shades, not muddied by the blending of colours.

Unison's pastels contain very little binder, making them truly soft and smooth. They are mixed to meticulous recipes and are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths. Sticks vary slightly due to the hand-making process.

Working with Schmincke’s finest extra soft pastels will give you a completely unique drawing experience. They have an incredibly high concentration of top quality pigment powder held together by the absolute minimum amount of binding agent - just enough to ensure that they remain a stable compound. Unlike many pastels on the market, they also do not contain chalk or additives which helps keep their colouration pure and consistent throughout each pastel.

This stripped-back recipe results in such soft pastels that Schmincke had to design a costly and time-consuming manufacturing process to stop them from breaking. Each lump of pre-kneaded pastel dough is rolled into rounded skeins which are sectioned by hand and laid onto a sheet. The skeins are then cut by hand with a wire-strung frame and transferred onto wooden palettes where they are left to dry for around 2 weeks. By this time they are so soft that they need to be wrapped by hand and gently placed in their foam packaging. Each pastel is covered in an information sheet that denotes its colour name, number and grade of graduation:

B - the black graduation D - the pure colour H - the darkest white graduation M - the medium white graduation O - the lightest white graduation

The 30 colors within the Best of the Best Blues set have been personally selected by Terry Ludwig as these are the colors which are in highest demand for use when painting skies and water.

Each pastel in the Terry Ludwig range is crafted by hand with a broad range of pigments and minimal, natural binders. This results in a pastel which has a high-concentrated pigment and is velvety soft. Terry Ludwig began experimenting with formulas for making his own pastels in 1995 as he was frustrated with the lack of color options available and few choices for very soft pastels. He wanted to create a broad range of colors that were uniformly soft regardless of the density of the hue. There are now over 500 intense colors.

The square shape of the pastel allows you to equally create thick, broad strokes or thin, precise lines. The size and shape of each pastel may differ slightly as each one is handcrafted. Each pastel measures 1 1/2 inches x 1/2 x 1/2.

This 60-piece Skies & Water Set was hand chosen by renowned artist Liz Haywood-Sullivan. This is a great set for pastelists interested in painting landscapes, skies, and water. “This set is something I have been working on for a long time, made up of colors found in two of my favourite subjects, skies and water. Working closely with master colorologist Terry Ludwig and his staff in creating it, I was mindful of choosing colors not commonly found in other sets to prevent replication. In fact, some of the blues and greys were specially formulated for this set.” “With these pastels you should have all the colors, and values, you need to create a complete sky or water painting. Enjoy!” –Artist Liz Haywood-Sullivan.
