Sennelier : Oil Pastel : Vermillion

Sennelier Oil Pastels are made with fine quality pigments, an extremely pure binding medium, and mineral wax. The pigments are ground with an inert, non-siccative-based binding medium that does not oxidise and does not affect either film stability or surface. This base is then mixed with wax. The balance of this mix provides the pastels with a creamy, lipstick-soft consistency that allows for a great deal of freedom in pictorial expression.Sennelier Oil Pastels possess an extraordinarily high pigment content, thus providing them with a high colouring and covering potential and a high degree of lightfastness (with the exception of metallic and fluorescent shades).
