Shiva® Paintstiks®

When you’re ready to start your next oil painting, pick up Shiva Artist’s Paintstik® Oil Colors instead of a brush. Ideal for sketching and outlining, Artist’s Paintstik® Oil Colors are a refined linseed oil blended with quality pigment and solidified into a convenient stick form.

For the professional artist, art student or amateur artist, Artist’s Paintstik® Oil Colors are an effective medium to think out shape, composition and color, without a palette or mixing cup. They are also a useful aid to the art teacher to help students grasp fundamentals of oil painting without using classroom time for mixing paint and clean-up. You can actually paint “wet into wet” with a solid oil stick, allowing a feeling of free, spontaneous expression.

Please remember when viewing the on-line color charts, that colors will vary from monitor to monitor and are based on an estimate of the mid-range of the color. However, the range of values for each color is quite broad, and should only be used as a general reference tool. Printed and handmade color charts using actual Shiva Artist’ Paintstiks can be ordered from your favorite Art Supply Dealer.
