About the product

R&F Pigment Sticks 38ml

Paint directly onto your surface with richly pigmented, lipstick soft oil paint sticks.

The stick format allows painters to draw or paint directly onto a surface - brushes, palettes, and solvents are optional. Allow yourself to loosen up, use more colour, and paint spontaneously with instinctive gestures.

These paints can be used like standard oil paints, as a drawing tool, or for monotype printing.

R&F Pigment Sticks are formulated using only the basic traditional materials: natural wax, linseed oil, and pigment.

Customers praised these oil pigment sticks as "soft and buttery" with vibrant colors and smooth texture. Artists appreciate the blending capabilities and coverage on various surfaces. However, some noted concerns about price versus coverage compared to tube paints, long drying time (up to a month), and strong odor requiring ventilation.

  • The texture is sublime. The sticks allow you to draw but blend beautifully as well.
  • Soft and buttery, highly pigmented and super easy to work with.
  • They are clear colours and cover large areas in minutes in smooth layers of colour.

I cannot say enough about these sticks! The

I cannot say enough about these sticks! The product is so juicy! It’s like butter or perhaps lipstick. But don’t eat it! The texture is sublime. It’s messy - but it’s worth it. The sticks allow you to draw but blend beautifully as well. The product completely dries.

This is my favorite colour in acrylics and so I was thrilled to try it out in an oil stick. It is very oily and, according to R&F takes about a month to dry. However, its transparency and deep colour are worth it.

Would Use More if…

They are just waaay too expensive to work with. I’d love to use more of them, but the coverage is so little in comparison to a tube of oil paint. As a result I’ve just bought 2 to mix with oils & encaustic underlay wax. MichelleMathiasArt.com

I have been using oil sticks for 20 years

I have been using oil sticks for 20 years, and have only bought the R&F ones since you have been carrying them. They are the best!

R&F Pigment Sticks

I bought the set of six, three (pastel colors) and some singles. They apply easily, are thick and cover the canvas really well. The colors are very vibrant! They are quite smelly so ventilation is important & I put my canvas in the garage to dry. Would I buy more? Yes!

Love these soft and buttery sticks. Buy a new one every time I’ve made a good sale. Easy to handle and make marks with.

R &F Pigment Sticks

I love my sticks. They are clear colours, (though not too many) and the cover large areas in minutes in smooth layers of colour.
They are soft and buttery and you can easily take off the skin that forms when not in use with a paper towel. I am working bigger and faster with my R&Fs and even using them on 3 dimensional forms as well as on paper.

Ease of highlighting

I use R&F Pigment Sticks to highlight my cold wax paintings. They’re very easy to use and add highlights with or without a brush.

I am obsessed with RF pigment sticks

They are soft and buttery, highly pigmented and super easy to work with. I paint with Gamblin oils and use the RF pigment sticks on birch panel, 300 gsm paper, and encaustic work. I love the drawing quality and the artists ‘calligraphy’ that they provide. They can also add texture, be smoothed out and blended. The colour range is great- warning would be they are highly addictive!

Rich, juicy pigment.

I have a wide selection of oil bars/pigment sticks from various companies and each type is different. For work with oil and cold wax, and for straight oil bar painting, R and F are my go-to choice. They are more expensive, but are rich in pigment and a bit softer/juicier than any others and they are a pleasure to work with. In addition, there is an excellent selection of colours.
