R&F Pigment Sticks let you get rid of the distancing factor of a brush and hold the paint right in your hand. The sticks are handmade in small batches, carefully milled and molded. Only the purest traditional materials are used: linseed oil, pure pigment, and natural waxes (beeswax & plant wax). R&F are the only brand of oil sticks that employ only natural waxes, which allows for a minimum amount of wax. This results in a lipstick-soft consistency and a greater paint film strength. With a spectrum of 103 colours, these Pigment Sticks transform oil painting into a whole new experience.
