R&F Pigment Stick Demo w/ Sharon Paster

Learn about and try out these incredibly pigmented and fun oil-based paint sticks and drawing oils!

This Pigment Stick and Drawing Oils demonstration offers a relaxed environment where participants can see and experience Pigment Sticks.

Topics covered include: how R&F Pigment Sticks allow artists to explore traditional and alternative methods of painting with oil by allowing them draw or paint directly onto a surface with immediacy and fluidity; what Pigment Sticks are (pigment, wax and linseed oil); health and safety when working with Pigment Sticks (including proper disposal of oil soaked rags and paper towels); appropriate supports and tools; transparent vs. opaque Pigment Sticks; building a surface, monoprinting, image transfer, and mark making; and additional techniques (the use of cold wax, Gelli plates, etc.).

Taking inspiration from our Pigment Sticks®, R&F DRAWING OILS™ offer a smooth & portable drawing experience with a harder formulation (less oil, more wax). Unlike oil pastels, crayons, or chalk, R&F DRAWING OILS™ will dry to form a permanent, protective oil film. No need for fixative.

The size, shape, and formulation make R&F DRAWING OILS™ ideal for play and practice, pairing well with your favorite sketchbooks, stretched canvas and panels.

This event is FREE, but please RSVP to ensure your participation in the demo, and to allow us an accurately estimate attendee count.
