Description

Blending Sticks are colourless Pigment Sticks – essentially a stick without pigment. They can be worked into a colour to increase its transparency or to blend two colours together on the painting. The Blending stick with drier contains a small amount of Cobalt Drier to speed up drying time. The use of a Cobalt Drier can affect color, so best use is to work colors on top of it after it has been laid down on the surface.

R&F Pigment Sticks are oil paint manufactured with enough wax for the paint to be moulded into stick form. They allow the painter to draw or paint directly onto a surface without brushes, palettes, paint tubes, or solvents. Only the basic traditional materials are used: natural wax (beeswax & plant wax), linseed oil, and pigment. The result is an oil stick with a lipstick soft consistency.

R&F Pigment Sticks are handmade in small batches and have none of the additives, extenders, substitutes, or facilitators that are commonly used in industrial production.

- Can be used as oil paint, drawing tools and monotypes.
- 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.
- They 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.
