Sennelier Extra Fine Artist Quality Solid Oil Painting Sticks

Made from pure, concentrated pigments, the finest safflower oil and high quality mineral wax

Oil Sticks can be used alone or in combination with tube oil paints. Like regular oils, they can be diluted with turpentine and dry to a hard film. These creamy, lightfast sticks may be used for sketching or for producing complete works of art on any traditional oil paint surface. Sennelier Artists’ Oil Sticks allows you to approach Oil painting in an entirely new and expressive manner. They extend the degree of spontaneity allowing for a greater freedom in approach and without the need for a brush.

These Sennelier Extra-Fine Oil Sticks contain selected vegetable oils to guarantee permanent protection against yellowing. A special mineral wax gives the sticks a creamy consistency, which ensures the adhesion of the colour on all commercial oil painting surfaces.

Varnish can be applied to your work after 6 months, as with conventional oil paints. Before using these Sennelier Extra-Fine Oil Sticks remove the fine protective film on the stick. This film will re-form in a few days if the stick is not used. Colours dry in 2-4 days depending on the thickness of the paint layer and the ambient temperature.
