Review on 🎨 R&F Handmade Paints 2950 Oil Pigment Stick Set of 12 Colors for Painters Dozen - Enhanced SEO by Kelsey Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Attractive oily, rich and pure material for primary color painting.

I love these pigment sticks (and the translucent R&F set which has less pigment and is therefore thinner/less dense) for encaustic. I find them to be softer, cleaner, and more vibrant than regular oil paints, but they also dry very slowly, with no heat to mix with the wax (which is good as it protects the pencils, which are also protected from moisture). transparent individual plastic tubes with tight caps that do not dry out before use). These chopsticks tend to be pretty messy to use, but they're a wonderful way to create a mess! Remember to use them in a well-ventilated area or with appropriate personal breathing apparatus - the fumes from them can be quite strong when heated indoors. limited space. There are many individual colors available from R&F, but these sets give you basic primary colors at a great price, and the small panel is a very nice bonus. (Ps are encaustic photos I took recently using just these pigment pencils, one piece is 11 x 14 inches and the other is just a detail of the other)
