Oil Stick Set, Basic Introductory Colors, 6 Artist Quality Sticks, 38ml

Beautiful Artist Oil Sticks! Great value to try these out. I find them nice to use. Not too dry, nor overly oily at all. If others find them dry, I suggest using a little linseed oil on whatever surface you are using them on, before you use the stick. Or you can even dip your brush in the oil a tiny bit then add the color to the brush. I prefer my sticks a tad more on the dry side if I have the choice. You can always add oil, as it's much harder to remove excess oils already in the sticks... These colors are vibrant and rich, and they blend together beautifully. These are very similar to the sticks invented for the great Artist Picasso, by Sennelier, except his at the early times were pastels only, in those days.. Which are also fantastic!!

I use these paint stick exclusively. It has the most pigment blended into that creamy oil for an experience like no other Viva La France!

I finally got this oil sticks almost a week ago. I was so happy as this was a prime deal that I got and it took over a month to finally get my sticks. I am so happy with my order because I got the new version of the oil sticks kinda impressed.

I tried two different brands. Oil sticks are good to add to one's painting repetoire. The quality is different with both brands and prices differ. Just use them and create.

Beautiful chunky things! Easy to apply as a rich, creamy mark. Can’t wait to use them a lot.

These are awful. They don’t have much opacity. Low pigment load. They are hard to work with and get a film on them that is a mess to remove. Hard cutting into the paper and using more of the stick. R&F is much better but takes a long time to dry

Love these! Color is beautiful and this is a bargain price!

Speed with incorrect colors but the seller was very easy to work with and replaced the missing color, no problem.
