R&F Drawing Oils Provence Blue

Taking inspiration from their 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.

R&F DRAWING OILS™ contain linseed oil and will form a natural skin on the outside of the stick. R&F recommend gently removing this prior to use. Use a pencil or crayon sharpener (.50” diameter), a razor blade, or simply draw on a piece of scrap paper. Wiping the end of the R&F Drawing Oil™ with a tissue prior to use will ensure a more effortless drawing
experience.
The size, shape, and formulation (less oil, more wax) make R&F DRAWING OILS ™ ideaL for play and practice, pairing well with your favorite sketchbooks, stretched canvas, and panels. For finished artwork requiring archival stability, R&F recommend preparing your surface with gesso.
