Sennelier Oil Sticks 38ml

The Sennelier Oil Stick offers a distinctive approach to oil painting, expanding artistic freedom and encouraging spontaneity and expressionism.

Key Features:

• Innovative Composition: The Sennelier Oil Stick is crafted from oil paint, with a portion of the oil replaced by a neutral mineral wax, giving it a solid, stick-like form.
• Premium Pigments: Pure pigments are finely ground into vegetable oils, specifically selected for their low yellowing over time. The high concentration of pigments ensures excellent lightfastness, preserving the vibrancy of your artwork.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for use on traditional oil painting supports, such as canvas, canvas boards, laminated panels, and paper. Proper surface preparation is essential for optimal results.

Application Guidelines:

• Layering: The Sennelier Oil Stick should be applied in thin layers (no more than 1mm). Layers can be overlapped, similar to conventional oil paint, and thinned with petroleum or turpentine if necessary.
• Surface Preparation: Remove the surface film that naturally forms on the stick before use. This film will re-form after a few days of inactivity.
• Drying Time: Paint applied with the Sennelier Oil Stick dries within 2 to 5 days, depending on layer thickness and environmental conditions.
• Transparency & Glazing: A clear medium is available to achieve transparency and glazing effects.

Additional Information:

• Colour Range: Available in both opaque and transparent shades, depending on the pigments used, offering versatility in artistic expression.
• Long-Term Storage: The Sennelier Oil Stick can be stored for extended periods without special care, provided it is kept away from heat sources that could affect its composition.
• Varnishing: Once the paint is fully dry (after at least 6 months), it can be varnished with an oil paint finishing varnish for added protection and a professional finish.
