R&F Pigment Sticks Artist Oil

 

Oil paint in stick form represents a revolutionary development in oil painting. It means that the paint can be applied directly to a surface without the distancing factor of the Brush. This makes it possible to dispense not only with the brush, but with knives, palettes, and solvents, thereby making oil sticks more immediate and portable than standard oil painting materials. RandF formulated their Pigment Sticks to be equal in quality the finest oil paints. They are richly pigmented, with a lipstick soft consistency that gives them the same fluidity, subtlety, and durability of traditional oil colors.

 

Bill Creevy in The Oil Painting Book (Watson-Guptill, 1994) summed up what many artists have been saying about them:

"Of all the brands of oil sticks currently on the market, none can compare in quality and beauty to R&F Pigment Sticks... Pigment Sticks are an oil painter’s dream come true: slow drying, juicy, fully pigmented pure colors that are creamy in application, soft enough to apply to stretched canvas - a real delight to paint with."
