Shiva Oil Paintstik Set of 12, Student Colors

Instead of using a traditional brush for your next oil painting, consider using Shiva Paintstiks. Made in the United States, these artist colors are perfect for sketching and outlining. Shiva Paintstiks are crafted from refined linseed oil and high-quality pigments, solidified into a convenient stick form. They can be spread or blended, and work well with regular oil paint.

One of the key advantages of using Shiva Paintstiks is that they have no strong odors or fumes, making them a versatile option for painting on various surfaces such as paper, panel, or fabric. Additionally, Paintstiks are "self-sealing", meaning they form a protective film to prevent colors from rubbing off or drying out. They always stay fresh and moist, with an indefinite shelf life as they reseal within 24 hours.

When the Paintstik starts to wear down, simply peel away the protective film with a paper towel or gently rub it off. It can also be sharpened to a point with a knife. If the stick wears down to the edge of the sleeve, just loosen the sleeve, push the stick forward, and repeat the peeling process when needed.

Shiva Paintstiks are oil colors, so they can be used with the same techniques, mediums, and surfaces as tube oils, including varnishes. They come in 55 professional colors, 22 iridescent shades, and 12 student colors, all with a creamy buttery consistency and no offensive odors. Clean up is a breeze with soap, water, or baby wipes, and most colors dry within 24 hours.

These Paintstiks are compatible with other oil paints and mediums, making them perfect for underpainting, fabric arts, craft projects, and stenciling. Made in the USA, Shiva Paintstiks offer a convenient and versatile option for artists of all levels.
