Sennelier Oil Sticks – Wooden Box Set 12 X 38ml

This wooden box set from Sennelier contains twelve 38ml Extra-Fine Oil sticks, along with a painting knife, cloth, and four charcoal sticks

Sennelier Extra Fine Oil sticks are fully compatible with conventional oil colours. They offer artists an exciting and direct drawing & painting medium, with the finish and appearance of traditional oil paint.

It extends the artist’s freedom of expression, allowing a greater degree of spontaneity, of “expressionism”. These colours are of perfect quality: pure pigments are ground into vegetable oils (siccatives), selected for their low degree of yellowing with time.

Dilute and blend with turpentine or mineral spirits and cut into and scrape layers of oil colour with palette knives.

These oil bars are suited for use on all usual supports for oil colour, such as primed canvas and wood but are also suited for use on artboards and pastel paper.

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.
