Sennelier Oil Sticks

Sennelier Oil Sticks offer a convenient and spontaneous way for artists to work with oil paint. With an expanded range of now 63 colours plus a medium, these solid oil sticks are available at Pullingers in the 38ml standard size and in the 12ml mini sticks found in initiation sets.

The price levels, ranging from series 1 to 3, reflect the quality and intensity of the pigments used, all colours are Extra-Fine Artist quality boasting a high pigment concentration. These oil sticks can be used alone or complement traditional oil colours from tubes.

Artists can apply the oil stick colours directly onto traditional oil painting surfaces such as canvas, wood panels, or fine art paper, requiring the same archival priming as oil paint. Before use, simply peel off the surface film, which regenerates after periods of non-use to preserve the colour.

To achieve optimal results, apply the oil sticks thinly, no more than 1mm thick, and they can be layered with additional oil stick or paint, and even diluted with turpentine if desired. For transparent effects and glazes, the colourless oil stick Medium is available.

Once applied, the oil stick surface dries within 2 to 5 days, influenced by atmospheric conditions.
