In 1887, Gustave Sennelier, a devoted chemist, established himself as a purveyor of fine-artist’s paints at 2 Quai Volataire facing the Louvre and steps away from L’Ecole Des Beaux-Arts.
Having thoroughly researched the history and usage of pigments, he developed a distinctive process for manufacturing oil colours, formulating precise methods for mixing tones and for controlling their opacity and transparency. His work was so meticulous and his eye for colour so accurate that artists soon began to regard the Sennelier palette as the ultimate standard of quality.
Since then, Sennelier Artists’ quality oil paint have hung at the world’s greatest museums, and 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 combing those traditions with the innovations of modern chemistry.
Sennilier has become the “reference” brand that it is today for artists because it has always been able to combine the traditions of old masters with innovations provided by modern chemistry.
For 130 years, Sennelier goes on with increasing fervour to combine the traditions of the old masters with the innovations of modern chemistry, to please today and tomorrow’s artists asking for vibrant and eternal colours.
A different medium for artists who paint using oils, oil sticks allow the artist to have more spontenaity and expressionism with their work.
Sennelier Oil sticks are made from oil paint combined with a wax to produce a sturdy stick. Pure pigments are ground with vegetable oils to create the oil sticks which provides excellent light-fastness and high resistance to yellowing over time.
Sennelier Oil sticks are perfect for touching up oil paintings, being used as background preparation and as a medium in their entirety. They can be used with a variety of mediums such as: canvas, canvas boards, paper and laminated panels.
La Petite Aquarelle is a delicate, colourful, fine quality watercolour. The pigments have been specifically selected for their miscibility and the binding agent is reinforced with glycerin and has been produced to allow a smoother application of the colour onto the paper.
