R & F Handmade Paints - Pigment Sticks Trial Sets
Pigment Sticks Trial Sets
Explore oil stick painting with curated color triads in travel-ready sizes
Direct contact with paint transforms how you work with color. R & F Pigment Sticks combine linseed oil, pure pigment, and natural waxes into solid form, no brush required. These trial sets provide three half-sticks (19ml each) to explore the medium's unique handling before committing to full-size sticks. The waxy consistency glides across surfaces while maintaining enough body for impasto effects, allowing you to draw, paint, and blend in a single gesture.
Trial Set 1 delivers foundational primaries: Ultramarine Blue's classic cool depth, Cadmium Red Light's warm intensity, and Neutral White for mixing and opacity. Trial Set 2 offers more specialized hues: King's Blue (a warmer alternative to ultramarine), Scarlet Extra Pale's brilliant orange-red, and Olive Yellow's muted earthiness. Both sets demonstrate how pigment sticks handle layering, mark-making, and direct manipulation.
The wax content keeps the sticks from drying out while you work, yet the linseed oil base dries to a permanent film compatible with traditional oils. These half-sticks provide enough material to complete studies, test compatibility with your existing surfaces, and discover whether this immediate, tactile approach to oil painting suits your process.
