Celebrate the depth and beauty of diverse skin tones with the Sennelier Extra Soft Pastels à l’écu – Dark Skin Tones Set. Painstakingly developed over three years at the turn of the 20th century, Sennelier pastels remain a global standard in artistic excellence, offering unmatched softness, vibrant pigment, and luxurious blendability. Their timeless formula continues to inspire both professional and aspiring artists.

Handcrafted in France, these extra soft pastels are composed of a high concentration of pure pigment and contain no clay—delivering a creamy, velvety texture with exceptional lightfastness. Enriched with Craie Champenoise, a rare white pigment sourced from Eastern France, the pastels provide rich tonal variations and effortlessly smooth transitions. Natural binders and water-soluble properties make these pastels ideal for layering, shading, and bold mark-making across various surfaces.

The Dark Skin Tones Set features six carefully curated half sticks designed to reflect the nuanced shades of melanin-rich complexions. These earthy tones and deep browns are perfect for portraiture, figure drawing, and expressive character work. The larger half-stick format allows for dynamic application—whether you’re blending subtle shadows or applying bold, expressive lines.
