Shiva Artist's Oil Paintstik - Titanium White

Artist’s Paintstiks can be spread or blended and used in conjunction with conventional oil paint. There are no unpleasant odours or fumes, so you can paint virtually anywhere, at any time, on almost any surface, from paper to panel to fabric.

Artist’s Paintstiks are “self-sealing.” They form a protective film so the colour won’t rub off or dry out. Yet they always stay moist and fresh, providing an indefinite shelf life because they reseal in 24 hours.

This film is easily removed by peeling it away with a paper towel or rubbing it off gently. It can also be removed by carefully paring it with a knife (it can also be sharpened to a point in this manner). When the stick has begun to wear to the sleeve's edge, loosen the sleeve from the oil stick at the seam, open the sleeve and push the stick forward. Press the sleeve around the oil stick again and repeat the peeling process as needed.

Remember that Artist’s Paintstik Oil Colours are the same as tube oils, so all the same techniques, mediums and surfaces can be used, including varnishes.
