R&F Handmade Paints - Professional Oil Pigment Stick, Iridescent Brass, 38 ml

Love love love. Top quality, deep, rich color.A joy to use for monoprinting.

Very hard to say everything that must be said about them in a short review, but bottom line is I cannot recommend them highly enough. May be wise to start with a trial set if you're not sure because they are so expensive. But I loved them and so I now have about 30 colors. They are just so nice and so fun to use. You do need more colors of these than you do with tube paints. This set of 10 in particular does not come with a white or black, and you should definitely order those. I would also recommend a gray, a brown, a purple, and an orange.They work perfectly in conjunction with tube paints, and the same solvents and oil media you would use with tube paints. I've done whole paintings with just drawing with these directly on the canvas and then a little brushing to finish and blend parts; I've also done a whole painting with these by mixing chunks of them on a palette with oil to make liquid paint; and everything in between.Bottom line is these are a top of the line, super-premium product, crammed with extreme concentration of the best pigments, easily more than capable of being used for professional work, and very much worth their high price.

R&F pigment sticks are great!I bought some several years ago and decided to purchase the Painters Dozen . A great deal! Rich colors, easy to work with. I love them. They arrived when expected too.

Si much fun to use!!

I grab this one because I needed the iridescent and it did not disappoint. I love this brand, they are so nice and easy to work with. I only wish they dry a little faster.

Loved the color and the product. Very golden and glittery, bit Hard to control. Very soft. Ended up using my finger to control how much went on canvas. Takes weeks to “cure” so have to use caution. Extremely golden but sheer. If you want gilded leaf look, this is not it. But great addition to my art supply collection.

Never used this material before. Loved it! It’s very smooth. Like painting with butter. Definitely recommend

Having expensive materials isn’t a substitute for a good idea. However, if you’re at a point in your creativity where you feel like the quality of the materials will being out the best in your well developed ideas, this pigment stick should be part of it. It is a high quality pigment that has the feeling of rarity and real earth origins. It’s buttery but not too rich. Obvs with these mediums you have some control over the application based on the temperature of your hand as well as the environment you’re working in. But generally, this is one of the better oils sticks all around and is worth the price if the work your using it on can benefit from its quality.

Product and price good and as described but probably damaged during delivery. It’s often Amazon products arrive damaged. I blame the reckless delivery drivers. I’m honestly kind of tired of my items coming damaged. No shade to this seller though!

If you are wary of trying this because you tried other supposedly "artist grade" oil bars, don't worry. This is completely different! Very smooth and lovely.

The best oil sticks out there, in my opinion.

These are a bit expensive but well worth the money! The quality is outstanding! Texture is buttery and the pigments are beautifully saturated. They are blend well. I'm so glad I bought these!

Sono colori ad olio fantastici, costano, il pigmento è di ottima qualità.
