Sennelier Solid Oil Sticks Mini Set of 6

As inventors of the original oil stick concept in the 1940s, Sennelier set the bar for quality and colour-range.

These Mini Oil Stick sets include a selection of 6 colours in a handy 12ml size with each set themed around a set composition.

Re-released in 1980, Sennelier's modern Oil Stick is a composition of oil paint with a proportion of the oil substituted with a neutral mineral wax, resulting in the stick appearance.These colours are of perfect quality: pure pigments are ground into vegetable oils (siccatives), selected for their low degree of yellowing with time. The choice and high concentration of pigments enables excellent light resistance to be achieved. These colours are applied discreetly to conventional oil painting supports (oil-proof or universal) and demand quality background preparation.

Solid artists' quality colours are available in opaque or transparent shades, depending on the shades of the pigments used. The product may be stored for extended periods of time and requires no special attention, apart from avoiding heat sources that may damage it.Once dry, the paint may be varnished like conventional oil paint, after a minimum drying period of 6 months, using an oil paint finishing varnish.
