Paint with Oil Sticks

This material allows oil painting to be approached differently. It extends the artist's freedom of expression, allowing a greater degree of spontaneity, of "expressionism".

The Oil Stick is a composition of oil paint. A proportion of the oil is substituted with a neutral mineral wax, resulting in the stick appearance.These colours are of perfect quality: pure pigments are ground into vegetable oils (siccatives), selected for their low degree of yellowing with time. The choice and high concentration of pigments enables excellent light resistance to be achieved. These colours are applied discreetly to conventional oil painting supports (oil-proof or universal) and demand quality background preparation.

Supports: canvas, canvas boards, laminated panels, paper. Solid oil paint should be applied in a relatively thin film (no more than 1mm). Layers can be overlapped, in the same manner as paste oil paint, and can, if necessary, be thinned with petroleum or turpentine. Before use, the surface film should be removed. This latter will re-form after a few days of non-use. Paint applied dries within 2 to 5 days depending on layer thickness and atmospheric conditions. A clear medium is available allowing transparency and glazing effects to be achieved.

Solid artists' quality colours are available in opaque or transparent shades, depending on the shades of the pigments used. The product may be stored for extended periods of time and requires no special attention, apart from avoiding heat sources that may damage it.Once dry, the paint may be varnished like conventional oil paint, after a minimum drying period of 6 months, using an oil paint finishing varnish.

I love this! I love how rich and beautiful the colors are. And it’s so messy, I wonder if it feels a little like the finger paints that children use. And I love how it turned out, a beautiful ocean and beach😊💕

Guys, you seem to be confused. Oil sticks are "oil paints". They are nothing like oil pastels. They will dry on your canvas just like the tube paints. But I use them for quick action and gestural drawings as a starting point for my traditional paints. They're not really meant for entire paintings, as you see, too messy!

Merci beaucoup! It's a pleasure to watch you work.

[atlantic_love]

through a stick or two and take hours in the process when you could just use a big brush to apply the color in strokes?

[xiavang]

I like your style. I’m not nearly as talented as you but we have the same painting style!

[leeanngreen]

What type of oil paint finishing varnish...aka brand? Thanks

[marydesf]

C'est vrai que tout semble possible et avec une ....telle facilité !!!!

[Andeana]

Do these sticks dry or do you have to seal the canvas afterwards ??

[wastenotwantnotArt]

How long until it dries?
Does it need to be varnished?
