However, the carefully selected hues allow for a genuine rendering of the facial expression of a model. The juxtaposition of colors combined with careful blending will achieve stunning results. The colours included in this set are: Nickel Yellow #904, Cobalt Violet #366, Helios Red #686, Cerulean Blue #264, Van Dyke Violet #406, and Carmine #52.It took over three years, at the turn of the 20th Century, to formulate the Sennelier range of Extra Soft Pastels “à l’écu” and thus to create one of the largest chromatic range of pastels. Throughout the century, this range of tones has evolved, but the heart of its making remains unchanged.The high quality composition of “à l’écu” pastels is the result of a perfect balance between binder and pigment. For gradient shades, increasing amounts of mineral fines are added, ultimately tending towards white. The exceptional brightness is the result of the pigment and of the natural mineral fines discovered by Sennelier in 1905 and that have been used ever since.Half Stick Set of 6 coloursSoft Pastels in round shapeSuper soft, velvety, vibrant colorsColours selected for portraits and general useExcellent qualityHigh quality pure pigment grounded with natural transparent binderEach half stick measures 1-1/4″ long x 1/2″ in diameter.
