Sennelier Woodless Pastel Pencils

The Sennelier Woodless Pastel Pencil is a professional-quality, soft pastel in a convenient pencil form – handmade in France and designed for artists who want both precision and expressive colour. Offering the rich, velvety pigment of traditional Sennelier pastels without the wood casing, these versatile pastel pencils are perfect for detailed drawing, controlled shading and expressive mark-making.
Unlike Sennelier¡¯s soft pastel sticks, these woodless pencils have a semi-soft texture that balances smooth laydown with excellent control, making them ideal for sketching, layering, and blending. Each pencil measures around 14.5 cm in length with a 7.5 mm diameter, offering a comfortable grip for extended use. The paper wrapper protects the stick and can be peeled back as you work, giving you full access to the pastel.
Artists can sharpen the pencils to a fine point with sandpaper for delicate linework, or snap them into smaller pieces to cover larger areas quickly. They blend effortlessly with each other and with other media, and because they produce less dust than traditional pastel sticks, they¡¯re well-suited to both studio and on-the-go work.
