Color:Multicolor When you're ready to start your next oil painting, pick up
Shiva pianistic artist colors instead of a brush. Manufactured in the united
states, paintstiks are ideal for sketching and outlining, Shiva pianistic
artist colors are refined linseed oil blended with a quality pigment and
solidified into a convenient stick form. Paintstiks can be spread or blended
and used in conjunction with conventional oil paint. There are no unpleasant
odors or fumes, so you can virtually paint anywhere, at any time, on almost
any surface from paper to panel to fabric. Paintstiks are Àœself-sealingÀ. That
is, they form a protective film so the color 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 be sharpened to a point in this matter). When
the stick has begun to wear to the edge of the sleeve, simply 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 Shiva pianistic artist colors are oil color,
the same as tube oils, so all the same techniques, mediums and surfaces can be
used including varnishes. Paintstiks are available in 55 professional colors,
22 iridescent and 12 student colors.
