Created in the 1940's in collaboration with Picasso, these creamy lipstick-like pastels are rich in pigment, cover well, and have outstanding opacity and lightfastness. They may be thinned with turpentine and worked with a brush, are acid-free and can be applied to any surface. Modern Sennelier Oil Pastels have a 20% larger diameter than the original stick and are also available in an even larger size called "Grand", which is the equivalent of 8 regular size sticks. These sets are comprised of the regular size pastels.
