R & F Handmade Paints - Pigment Sticks®

Pigment sticks are oil paints manufactured with enough wax for the paint to be molded into a stick form, allowing the painter to draw or paint directly onto a surface without brushes, palettes, paint tubes or solvents. These pigment sticks are made in small batches, carefully milled and molded using beeswax and natural plant wax, linseed oil and pigment, with no additives, extenders, substitutes or facilitators, allowing for a softer consistency and for greater film strength.

Benefits to Working with Pigment Sticks®

 •  They can be thinned with turpentine or mineral spirits.
 •  They can be worked with mediums by dipping them into stand oil, linseed oil, alkyd mediums, or resin gels.
 •  They can be mixed alongside tube oils or used to draw over dried oil paintings.
 •  Pigment Sticks® can be manipulated with a paint knife until the paint is a buttery consistency, so that it can be brushed or knifed onto the surface. This method can be used to mix colors on the palette or in the painting.
