A set of 6 x artist quality 38ml oil paint in stick form. Set includes the colours Titanium White, Ivory Black, Primary Yellow, Primary Red, Primary Blue, Viridian.Discover oil in a stick form; oil painting approached differently.The Oil Stick is a composition of oil paint but a proportion of the oil is substituted with a neutral mineral wax, resulting in the stick appearance. 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. Layers can be overlapped, in the same manner as paste oil paint, and can, if necessary, be thinned with mediums or turpentine. Before use, the surface film of the stick 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. 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.
