…colors together on the painting. Like with traditional oils, R&F Pigment Sticks should be used on primed surfaces that are oil or acrylic gesso primed to protect the surface from the natural acid in linseed oil. What is the difference between R&F Pigment Sticks and Oil Pastels? Although… Professional quality oil paints in stick form R&F Pigment Sticks are oil paints manufactured with enough wax for the paint to be molded into stick form. Pigment Sticks allow the artist to draw or paint directly onto a surface without brushes, palettes, paint tubes, or solvents. Blending only finely milled pigments, natural wax (beeswax & plant wax), and alkali refined linseed oil, R&F Pigment Sticks have none of the additives, extenders, and substitutes that traditional tube oils contain. While the use of these adulterations can save a lot of work and reduce the cost of materials, they lower the quality of the paint. Consequently, the formulas are complex, and manufacturing is labor intensive and thus handmade in small batches where they are carefully milled and molded. The result is a professional quality oil Pigment Stick with a buttery, lipstick-like soft consistency that glides onto the painting surface. Paint Sticks can be thinned with traditional solvents, mixed with or used under or over traditional oils, or worked with a palette knife to a softer consistency to allow brushing onto a surface. Curing to a durable film like standard oils, Pigment Sticks can also be used with Encaustic paints for a variety of effects. Blending sticks are offered in two types and are colorless sticks that can be worked into a Pigment Stick color to increase transparency or blend colors together on the painting. Like with traditional oils, R&F Pigment Sticks should be used on primed surfaces that are oil or acrylic gesso primed to protect the surface from the natural acid in linseed oil. What is the difference between R&F Pigment Sticks and Oil Pastels? Although both are made with pigments, waxes, and oils, they are completely different! Oil pastels typically contain a much higher wax content than an oil stick or bar and are manufactured with a non-drying oil such as mineral oil or castor oil. Works done in Pigment Stick will oxidize (dry) over time like traditional oil paints, whereas oil pastels will always remain tacky and never dry, thus needing the protection of glass to protect the finished work. Explore the versatility and loosely gestural qualities this medium has to offer, with professional quality Pigment Sticks from R&F! Key Features: * Made solely of pigment, pure alkali refined linseed oil, and purified plant and bees waxes * Lipstick-like, soft creamy consistency * Contains no additives, extenders, or substitutes like tube oils * 2 types of Blending sticks for colorless blending * Works on any surface primed for traditional oils * Perfect For: * Use with traditional oils and encaustic paints * Gestural drawing with oils in stick form * Immediacy of paint without the need for brushes or tools * Thinning with solvents and oil mediums See More

The coarse texture grips heavy bodied acrylics extremely well and allows for an endless array of layering without any problems, whether with thin glazes or heavy impasto layers. For encaustics, the toothy primer grabs hold firmly to lower layers, providing a strong firm support for subsequent layers to adhere to. It is also the very first panel surface that offers a real tooth for grabbing hold of pastels and colored pencils, allowing layering and blending with ease. Just carefully seal with several light coats of archival spray for pastels, and you won't have to place your pastel or colored pencil art under glass. For other works, seal with the appropriate fixative for your medium (or varnish for paintings), for a frameless, dramatic presentation of your artwork. Key Features: * Coarse Textured, white acrylic polymer gesso with quartz sand * ¾” and 2” cradle depths for dramatic presentation * Kiln-dried New Zealand Pine cradle * Warp resistant, sealed MDF hardboard panel * Seal work easily with archival spray (appropriate to media) for frameless display * Wide range of sizes * Cradles easily accept paint, stain, or clearcoat for finishing Perfect For: * Acrylics, encaustics, oils, colored pencils, and oil pastels, and soft pastels * Building layers of media without peeling off * Large scale drawings without the need or cost of framing * Archival art that will last a lifetime * Students, teachers, professionals * See More
