Iridescent Oil Pastels

Created in the 1940s in collaboration with Pablo Picasso, Iridescent Oil Pastels boast a high pigment and an ultra-pure synthetic binder to offer a smooth application and rich color. These creamy, luminous oil pastels are made with top-quality pigments, an extremely pure synthetic binding medium, and mineral wax. The pigments are ground with an inert, non-siccative binding medium that does not oxidize and that has no effect on either film stability or surface. This base is then mixed with pH-neutral wax. The balance of this mix provides Sennelier Oil Pastels with a unique creamy texture that allows for a wide range of applications.
