Sennelier Oil Sticks are designed for uninhibited application of oil paint directly to the painting surfaces, thus extending the artist's freedom of expression. Produced with pure pigment, the finest safflower oil and high quality mineral wax, our Oil Sticks are made to the same standards as Sennelier Artists' Oils. They can be used for anything from quick sketching to complete works of art, as great complements to both traditional and contemporary techniques. Like oil paint, they dry to a resilient film and can be diluted with turpentine. With a palette of 55 vibrant colors, Sennelier Oil Sticks give you the range you need to follow your inspiration.
