R \u0026amp; F Pigment Sticks combine linseed oil, pure pigment, and natural waxes into solid form, no brush required. These trial sets provide three half-sticks (19ml each) to explore the medium's unique handling before committing to full-size sticks. The waxy consistency glides across surfaces while maintaining enough body for impasto effects, allowing you to draw, paint, and blend in a single gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrial Set 1 delivers foundational primaries: Ultramarine Blue's classic cool depth, Cadmium Red Light's warm intensity, and Neutral White for mixing and opacity. Trial Set 2 offers more specialized hues: King's Blue (a warmer alternative to ultramarine), Scarlet Extra Pale's brilliant orange-red, and Olive Yellow's muted earthiness. Both sets demonstrate how pigment sticks handle layering, mark-making, and direct manipulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wax content keeps the sticks from drying out while you work, yet the linseed oil base dries to a permanent film compatible with traditional oils. These half-sticks provide enough material to complete studies, test compatibility with your existing surfaces, and discover whether this immediate, tactile approach to oil painting suits your process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"R \u0026 F Handmade Paints","offers":[{"title":"trial set 1 \/ 3 sticks","offer_id":47979144413413,"sku":"84169","price":21.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"trial set 2 \/ 3 sticks","offer_id":47979144446181,"sku":"84170","price":21.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s84169.jpg?v=1761724732","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/r-and-f-handmade-paints-pigment-sticks-trial-sets","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
