Sketch with the permanence of oil paint in a portable wax stick
R & F combines pure pigment with just enough oil and wax to create sticks that handle like drawing tools but dry like actual oil paint. The harder formulation maintains crisp edges and fine details, capabilities that disappear when oil pastels turn soft and smudgy under your hand. Draw directly in sketchbooks for studies that won't need fixative, or prepare surfaces with gesso when permanence matters for finished pieces.
These sticks cure to form genuine oil films, not the fugitive marks that chalks and crayons leave behind. The reduced oil content means less bleeding and migration, while increased wax provides structural integrity that holds detail work. Compact size makes them genuinely portable, toss a handful in your bag for plein air sessions without the bulk of tubes and brushes.
The formulation bridges drawing and painting. Layer colors directly, blend with fingers or stumps, or dissolve with solvents for painterly effects. Work on paper, canvas, or wood panels. The permanent oil film protects your work without spray fixatives that alter surface quality or require ventilation. Artists working in sketchbooks particularly value this, your drawings remain stable whether the book stays closed for weeks or gets handled repeatedly.
