Since 1887, the Sennelier name has been
synonymous with quality, artist-driven
innovation and an unfailing commitment
to the advancement of art. From oil
paints to pastels, watercolours to inks
and gouache, Sennelier’s fine artist
materials are the go-to choice for the
most discerning artist.
Today, we have applied our expertise,
experience and unerring eye for colour
to create Sennelier Extra-Fine Acrylic
Paints. These new acrylics incorporate
the many qualities that are demanded
by today’s artists seeking a wide array
of renderings in one paint. Smooth and
creamy texture, rich and glossy colours
with fresh and intense tones. Sennelier has
selected pigments of the highest quality,
from the most demanding chemical
laboratories, in order to maximize purity
and clarity of tone. With 120 shades,
Sennelier offers one of the broadest
palettes on the market, including 4
interference colours and 6 iridescent
tones. Sennelier has also developed a
complete offering of fluid and gel media,
lacquers and other additives that give the
artist the flexibility to modify the texture,
viscosity, transparency, or luminosity of
the paint. Any artist can glaze, burnish,
thicken, mask, top, thin, mix or create his
own recipes!
 The goal of this new line was the creation
of a line of artist-grade acrylics that has the
consistency and rendering capability similar
to those of extra-fine oils. The texture is that
of a colour paste, creamy and rich, revealing
60ml tube (2 fl oz) desired brush or knife marks. With 120
shades, Sennelier offers one of the broadest
120 colours palettes on the market. These colours have
are available a high pigment content (primarily single
in 60ml/2 fl oz pigments), selected to provide optimal stabi-
and 200ml lity over time. Sennelier has also included the
tubes/6,7 fl oz colours that made its line of extra-fine oils
famous. Thus, the colour chart inclu-
des the traditional ultramarines, earths,
and ochres. It includes, among others, to-
nes made from cadmium and cobalt based
pigments. Finally, there are colours based
on quinacridone, pyrrole, naphthol, and
phtalocyanine from recent research that offer
new possibilities to painters. Among the 120
tones, there are also 4 interference colours,
which is to say they reflect two different colours
according to the viewing angle. The line also
includes 6 iridescent metallic colours.

Sennelier maintains a tradition of artisanal

fabrication, subject to strict and constant quality
control. Each stage of production is rigorously
tested in the laboratory. A product is only laun-
ched on the market after a serie of tests confir-
ming that it meets very specific requirements
for colour, lightfastness, consistency, saturation,
value, pH, and drying time. All products in the
extra-fine acrylic line conform to the ASTM
(American Society for Testing and Materials)
standard D4236 concerning toxicity and
safety. The colours also meet the ASTM D5098
standard, testifying to their lightfastness.

Sennelier extra-fine acrylic offers the possibility

of working with layers or wash drawings, in
combination with other techniques such as
pastels, charcoal, or ink, in overlays, and by
creating collages and inlays of various materials.
It can be used outdoors and in the studio. It
provides very good adhesion on many non-oily
surfaces: paper, canvases, cardboard canvases,
wood, fabric, cement, plaster, some plastics and
metals. It can be worked with a brush, painting
knife, metal spatula, directly from the tube to
obtain thick lines, or even with fingers. Thanks

 Gesso
This white universal primer providing good coverage can be
applied to non-oily painting surfaces: canvas, paper, wood…
For canvases, a sizing coat is necessary before application of
the gesso primer. It can be used as it is or diluted in water (80 to
90% gesso with 20 to 10% water according to the consistency
desired). It can be applied as it is or tinted by pre-mixing it
with Sennelier acrylic colours. It penetrates the surface and
allows good paint adhesion. Sennelier gesso is suitable for many
techniques: acrylic, oil, watercolour, tempera, egg tempera,
casein, gouache… For acrylic, one layer is sufficient, for oil, two
layers are recommended. Dries rapidly.

Coloured gessos
They have the same qualities as traditional gesso. Available in
black, light grey, red ochre, and yellow ochre, they allow a work
to be started on an opaque coloured surface.
500ml jar

Semi-absorbent gesso (white)

By giving the surface (canvas, paper …) a fine grain similar to
that of watercolour paper, it forms a porous surface when dry,
which improves penetration and diffusion of the colour with
greater resistance to water than traditional paper. It can be used
as it is or tinted by pre-mixing it with Sennelier acrylic colours.
For painting with acrylic, oil (gives a matte touch), watercolour,
egg tempera, gouache, or casein. Water soluble. Dries rapidly.
500ml jar

Acrylic primer for pastels (white)

By giving the surface (canvas, paper…) an abrasive,
micro-fibrous texture close to that of “Pastel Card”, it allows
the use of pastel, charcoal, or chalk techniques. … It can be
used as it is or tinted by pre-mixing with Sennelier acrylic
colours. Water soluble. Dries rapidly.
