Sennelier Oil Bar Set of 6 x 38ml Sticks

The Sennelier Oil Stick is composed of oil paint; to give it the stick appearance, some of the oil is replaced with a neutral mineral wax. Fine, pure pigments known as Sennelier colours are ground into vegetable oils, or succatives, and are chosen for their minimal degree of fading over time. Excellent resistance to light is also made possible by the use of pigments with high concentrations. It works well on paper, canvas, canvas boards, and laminated panels. Applying solid oil paint requires a very thin layer, no more than 1 mm. Similar to oil painting, layers can be overlaid and, if needed, thinned with turpentine. The surface film needs to be removed before use. After being inactive for a few days, this will reform. Depending on the thickness of the layer and the environment, paint takes two to five days to dry. After at least six months of drying time, the paint can be finished as regular oil paint by applying an oil paint finishing varnish. This box set contains 6 oil sticks in colours: Titanium White, Ivory Black, Primary Yellow, Primary Red, Primary Blue and Viridian
