Sennelier Woodless Pastel Pencils
Ideal for both students and professionals, the new Sennelier Woodless Pastel Pencils offer high color density and reliable performance.

Sennelier, known for having one of the most extensive chromatic ranges in pastels and for keeping the traditions of the old masters with the innovations of modern technology has introduced the newest innovation in pastels: Woodless Pastel Pencils. The wood-free design maximizes the useable pigment - sharpening creates less waste and ensures every part of the pencil is useable. The woodless pencils are semi-hard and are highly pigmented for rich, vibrant colors. The extra-fine core allows for precise detailed work, while also covering larger areas when used on the side. The smooth application makes them excellent for blending and layering techniques on paper or textured boards.

48 Richly Pigmented Colors in the Range

Unicorn Spit Gel Stain is a new all-in-one glaze and stain!

The concentrated gel stain is a universal medium that can be used for wood staining, painting, fabric dying, glass art, refinishing furniture, faux finishes, and more. It can be applied with a brush, foam pad, spray bottle, airbrush, cloth, paper towel, or even your hands.

Sealing with a satin or matte finish will achieve a two-dimensional result, multiple coats of a gloss topcoat or one coat of epoxy resin will result in a unique, deep 3-D effect.

Non-toxic, VOC free, and no microplastics or harsh chemicals means Unicorn Spit can dry on your brushes, paint palettes, and stencils without damaging them.

Crafters, hobbyist, DIY enthusiasts, and professionals alike will love experimenting with Unicorn Spit.
