Sennelier
This French brand began in the late 19th century under Gustave Sennelier. It was his habit to collect pigments and binders from all across Europe and then to mix them back in his shop in Paris, where he soon attracted the most demanding of customers, including Cézanne, Gauguin, Soutine and Van Gogh. Gustave was a master colourmaker but it was his son Henri who, in 1949, was tasked by Pablo Picasso with creating a vehicle for colours that could be applied direct to a range of surfaces, and came up with the first oil pastel.

Artworks created with Sennelier paints and pastels have hung in the world’s greatest museums, and the Sennelier name has become a legend. Not only is it renowned for sustaining the traditions of the old masters, but it is admired worldwide for combining those traditions with the innovations of modern chemistry. Sennelier also creates watercolour paints with the highest quality standards using the best possible pigments via traditional techniques and methods. The L'Aquarelle Sennelier watercolour range has been produced in the same way for more than a hundred years, using only the best pigments and top quality Kordofan Gum Arabic as a bonding agent. This mix of natural ingredients means this product has a smooth, bright texture and offer lively, colourful shades. Sennelier makes sure to wet the pigments in purified water (with no mineral salts) for 24 hours before mixing them in with the bonding agent. This improves the way in which the colours and bonding merge together, in turn bringing out the full beauty of the colours.This exceptional and very high quality watercolour will help you make your works even more powerful due to the liveliness and purity of the hues. Sennelier`s other legendary products are their soft pastels. The extra soft formula is made with pure pigments grounded with a natural binder,…
