R&F Pigment Stick 38ml – Cadmium Red Deep

R&F Pigment Sticks are artist-quality oil paint in solid stick form, handmade in Kingston, New York, from concentrated pigment, linseed oil and a small amount of wax. They let you draw directly with oil colour, with no brushes, palette or solvents needed, and the rich, creamy colour can be blended with the fingers, a brush, a palette knife or a rag.

The 38ml stick is comfortable in the hand and well suited to drawing, line work and smaller paintings. The range runs from earths and greys through to cadmiums, cobalts and iridescent metallics, plus colourless Blending Sticks for softening and extending colour.

When left to rest, each stick forms a thin protective skin that keeps the colour inside fresh; simply peel or rub it away with a paper towel before you work again. Pigment Sticks are compatible with conventional oil paints and mediums, and can be used on primed canvas, panel or suitably sized paper. As with any oil paint, work fat over lean and allow ample drying time between layers.
