Dry pastel pencils and oil pastels: a long history

For centuries, the pastel technique has fascinated artists. It was Sennelier who developed its range of ecu pastels at the beginning of the 20th century, listening to the recommendations of Degas, who was sorely lacking in ochres for his drawings, before popularizing Sennelier oil pastels among artists. It was Royal Talens who subtly mixed pigments and kaolin to offer artists the Rembrandt range of pastels used throughout the world and available in Rembrandt dry pastel boxes. It is Conté in Paris that offers a bridge between tradition and innovation, it is Faber-Castell that works from generation to generation to offer only the best of its research and development.
