Established in 1887 in Paris, Sennelier developed a distinctive oil colour manufacturing process that has been used for generations. The pure pigments are ground very slowly to an extra-fine consistency. They are then combined at maximum concentration with an archival safflower oil to yield the highest possible tinting strength and a lustrous satin finish. The resulting paints have a unique, buttery texture.
Today, Sennelier’s classic palette has expanded to 144 colours with new shades that meet the needs of contemporary artists. Still as smooth and luminous as ever, these colours are available in 40ml tubes. Whites are also available in 200ml tubes.
