Description
Sennelier Oil Sticks allow oil painting to be approached differently. It extends the artist’s freedom of expression, allowing a greater degree of spontaneity. Essentially, the Oil Stick is made from oil paint. A proportion of the oil is substituted with a neutral mineral wax, so that it can be handled and applied to the painting surface. 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 designed to be applied to conventional oil painting supports (oil-primed or universal) and demand quality background preparation. Suitable supports include canvas, canvas boards, laminated panels, paper
