In 1949, Parisian painter Henri Goetz approached Henri Sennelier about creating a wax colour stick for his friend Pablo Picasso. This collaboration eventually resulted in the birth of Sennelier oil pastels. Sennelier oil pastels possess an extraordinarily high pigment content, thus providing them with excellent brightness, a high colouring and covering potential, and a high degree of light stability. The remarkable properties of their components, along with their precise dosage, make Sennelier oil pastels unique. A brand that is now recognized worldwide.
