The Sennelier Artist Oil Sticks are oil paint.. with a twist! With the addition of wax, these smooth, creamy, and intensely pigmented sticks allow you to draw and paint directly onto your surface without the need for brushes or palettes. With the freedom of a pastel and the depth of traditional oils, they’re perfect for bold mark-making, sketching under-paintings, or for experimenting with texture and layering..

Use Sennelier Oil Paint Sticks on conventional oil painting surfaces like canvas, canvas panels, laminated panels, and paper. They can be used on their own or combined with oil paints and oil mediums to create unique effects. While the oil sticks will be touch-dry within a few days, as with oil paints, allow your completed artwork dry for at least 6 months before varnishing.
