{"product_id":"jack-richeson-assorted-sauce-drawing-sticks","title":"Assorted Sauce Drawing Sticks","description":"\u003cp\u003eChasov Yar clay gives these drawing sticks their distinctive character, softer than Conté but denser than soft pastels. The Russian formulation combines high-quality pigments with this specific clay and industrial carbon, creating a material that glides smoothly while maintaining enough tooth for layering. You get the rich coverage of pastels without the dusty fragility, plus the control of harder drawing crayons without the waxy buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ten-color assortment focuses on neutral tones essential for foundational drawing: black, white, and gray provide value structure; warm gray, gray-green, and gray-azure offer subtle temperature shifts for atmospheric work. Brown, ochre, and bistre expand your range for earth tones and warm shadows. The selection works particularly well for figure drawing, portrait studies, and tonal landscapes where you're building form through value relationships rather than saturated color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wooden box with slide-out top protects sticks from breakage and keeps your palette organized between sessions. These sauce sticks layer beautifully over charcoal or graphite and accept fixative well, making them versatile for both standalone drawings and mixed media work where you need the softness of dry media with more structural integrity than pure chalk pastels provide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jack Richeson","offers":[{"title":"set of 10","offer_id":48102343049445,"sku":"14008","price":20.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s14008.jpg?v=1768590112","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.com\/products\/jack-richeson-assorted-sauce-drawing-sticks","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
