Extra-Soft French Pastel for Professional Artists, Autumn inspired Half Pastel Set of 6

Sennelier makes soft, buttery pastels. Excellent coverage! Beautiful colors!

Both the Seaside 6 ea pack and Emerald Sea arrived today. The sight, feel, and play of colors on paper are glorious. These are the first Sennelier extra-soft pastels I have had the luxury of holding in my hand. We all have texture preferences - soft, hard, or somewhere in the middle. My preference is the velvety soft of the extra soft Sennelier pastel. I have multiple other soft pastels on shelves and in drawers. I wish I had spent the money on previous purchases and instead bought the largest set of these pastels. Little by little I will add to my collection. If intensity of color and velvety feel are what you are looking for start with this brand first, Sennelier extra-soft pastels, before you experiment with others. They are an investment in your art experience. MB

These are nice but am still looking for my two perfect blues.

I’m a pest artist and I use hard and soft pastels. These soft pastels are probably the best I’ve ever used and I’ve re-ordered several times. There are so many beautiful colors. They are especially good for under paintings. I like that they sell them in color sets, according to needs such as autumn colors, storm cloud colors, sunshine days colors.

Sennelier soft pastels are undeniably at the top of the art supply food chain. These coveted, buttery soft French pastels are almost total pigment with dreamy chromatic personality. Sennelier pastels come with a price tag, but here, you get what you pay for. The packaging of a curated palette of six of the popularly-sized half pastels is just brilliant. Each pastel is nestled within a foam container that travels flawlessly. This selection is everything you need (except paper) to create a lovely seaside landscape to experiment with Sennelier soft pastels at a modest price. Treat yourself or gift an artist friend with something special that won't break the bank. Each of these themed six packs is more gorgeous than the next.

I love these pastels and intend to buy more. They are VERY soft and easy to use (I use them with makeup brushes to paint dolls' faces). The colors are intense and even. I previously used Rembrandt, but like these better. Update. I bought more of these pastels that arrived today in a padded envelope. These pastels are very fragile and needed more careful packaging than just being thrown into a padded envelope. They arrived in pieces - very disappointed.

One of the 6 pastels was totally crushed and unusable. Poor packaging/handling. Pity because these pastels are awesome and somewhat expensive.

These pastels were exactly what I needed!

Great quality

Belli ma attenzione che è un attimo fare un macello

prodotti artistici unici

Tolle Farbauswahl, tolle Qualität. Kaufe die Sets immer wieder nach. Der Preis ist auch vollkommen in Ordnung!

Questi pastelli sembranl fatti di burro per quanto sono morbidi e si sfumano bene fra di loro. Il prezzo purtroppo è molto elevato, non per tutti.
