R&F Oil Sticks Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лип 2024
- I'm unboxing and swatching R&F's Painter's Dozen 2 Set and going through some of the application techniques of the oil sticks. As usual there is a painting at the end of the video.
It took a little longer to try (2 days at least).
Please use gloves when working with sticks that contain toxic pigments: cadmium, cobalt, chromium oxide. According to their website, it can only penetrate through abrasion on skin. It’s too large to go through pores. Also, wash your hands after use, so you don’t eat some by accident.

@7:34 😮 blending stick is neat!
Very informative. Thank you 👍
Very helpful video! Thank you.
wow such a great review thankyou for sharing 😊
The safflower refined oil creates a clearer glaze compared with linseed oil and others. I really recommend it.
I’ll have to check it out, I actively use this product.
you can also use a vegetable peeler to remove the top layer.
Can I draw a sharp straight line with these using a ruler?
I haven’t tried, but you can probably use a ruler. The line doesn’t necessarily coming out uniform though and I usually smooth it out after I put it on.
Is the paper treated with something? Looks like texture.
It’s a special oil paper, has this texture to it underneath, and it’s sealed on top. No need to do anything to it. Its not going to mold after a few years.
Thank you. They are great for scratching etc. But true nearly unaffordable.
They are a lot of fun, I also like Sennelier’s oil stick, just don’t get shiva-too dry.
Informative video, but I'm worried that you're not wearing gloves. I noticed on the side of the green one that it contains cadmium, and there was a cancer and fertility warning.
You are correct! Only for the video and format was small. I always use gloves when working with this product on the canvas. And usually I’ll go over acrylic painting to add effects and soften blending.
@@artsymbol2560 I'm relieved for you. Problem is other people seeing you get it on your hands might not realise that it's toxic and follow your lead. I'm sure I've had a fair few toxic pigments on my hands before I started to realise I shouldn't. I never paint with gloves, but reckon I would with those sticks.
I added toxic pigments in the description. Also some information from their website.
@@heathermatthewsart I get that you’re trying to help but it’s aggressive at best. If you think it’s such an issue just go ahead and make a video with you drawing with gloves. Wanting a creator to just make a fresh one for you? You don’t know their schedule.
@@Sam-xq3xh To be honest I don't understand your response because I was only trying to help. I certainly didn't ask anyone to make a fresh video. I noticed the warning and pointed it out as I was concerned for the artist and her viewers. The artist added toxic pigments in her description and I left it at that.
Very wasteful if i have to wipe off the dried layer....
With this brand, it dries to a very thin film, I still feel guilty when I wipe it off, but in shiva it’s a disaster, you have to cut it off with a knife, lots of waste. I love the idea though, and I usually use them on top of acrylics for blending, creates very soft effects, very quickly and dries faster than oils.
@@artsymbol2560 I have been toying about this idea of using Oil sticks. I saw it in Japan Art supply shops. (relatively unknown brand, even in Japan, but it is indicated as artist grade).
It is quite expensive, about 10% more expensive than same volume of oil paint.
I do not like the idea to waste paint, especially the higher series (3 or 4). But i was told by japanese artist, you could try to dissolve the hardened film with linseed oil, or turpentine....
I think if you want to use it, you need to be ok with it’s just more expensive, if it’s soft, it’s also going on canvas easily in large quantity. Get a black and white sticks to try, see if you like the feel. Just make sure it’s not sitting on a shelf too long because it’s too precious, the longer it sits, the thicker the film, it will keep drying.
You pull off the wrong side.
