The Sennelier Oil Pastel Set of 24 – Portrait is a beautifully curated palette designed specifically for capturing lifelike skin tones, subtle transitions, and expressive character in portrait work. With twenty‑four carefully selected colours, this set provides everything artists need to render warm and cool undertones, shadows, highlights, and delicate facial nuances.

Made with pure pigments, non‑drying oils, and high‑quality mineral wax, Sennelier oil pastels offer a buttery, lipstick‑soft texture that glides effortlessly across paper, canvas, wood, metal, plastic, and more. Their intense pigmentation and creamy consistency allow for smooth blending, soft gradients, impasto effects, and unlimited reworking — they never fully dry, remaining permanently workable.

The Portrait Set includes a balanced mix of pinks, ochres, browns, neutrals, greys, and highlight tones, giving artists a complete toolkit for realistic or expressive portraiture.
