## Overview

Sennelier Extra-Soft French Pastels are a premium set of 6 half sticks inspired by seaside hues, featuring pure pigments bound in a natural transparent binder that air-dries without chemicals. Each pastel offers a velvety soft texture for smooth blending and large coverage, housed in a compact, peg-friendly foam case. Celebrated for over a century, these pastels deliver exceptional brightness and a luxurious feel, making them a must-have for professional artists seeking vibrant, high-quality color.

## Description

Sennelier's Extra-Soft Pastels were created over a period of three years at the turn of the 20th century and the result was the creation of one of the largest chromatic range of pastels. These pastels are comfortable to hold and allow for large areas to be covered with a lush, luxurious color. Each pastel is composed of a natural transparent binder. For gradient shades, increasing amounts of mineral fines are added, ultimately tending towards white. The exceptional brightness is the result of the pigment and the natural mineral fines discovered by Sennelier in 1905 and that have been used ever since. The manufacturing process of the Sennelier cylindrical pastel does not compress the paste. Each half stick measures 1-1/4" long x 1/2" in diameter. These 6-Stick Sets are peggable and compact.

Review: Enchanted, mesmerized by color - 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
Review: Beautiful soft colors! - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very soft pastels but arrived damaged on both sets ordered.
*by K***W on September 16, 2025*

Colors are as represented ( I bought two sets of 6 pastels) I have given this a 4 star because the seller doesn’t understand that the box should be bubble wrapped or otherwise protected. On each set I had two sticks arrive broken and will only be usable with a wet brush.
