WHILE STOCKS LAST Artists Oil Paintstik colours are real paint in solid form. They are not crayons, oil pastels or soft pastels, but highly refined drying oils blended with durable pigments and then solidified into stick form. Artists Paintstik Oil Colours perform beautifully with all conventional oil paints. All of the same techniques that you are accustomed to using in oil painting and more, can be successfully performed using Artists Paintstik Oil Colours. Paintstiks can be applied to any porous surface - paper, plaster, wood and fabric (man-made, synthetic or natural). They are permanent after 48 hours or so, once the oil has evaporated and the colour has been absorbed onto the surface. Fabric may be ironed at the hottest setting for the fabric type. They are fully washable once fixed. Non-toxic and hypo-allergenic. Shiva Paintstiks are available in 50 Professional colours and 16 iridescents. The colours can be blended to create a variety of shades and tones Shiva Paintstiks are tested in accordance to ASTM D-423 & bear safety labels to ACMI's standards. Most Shiva Paintstiks are AP non-toxic while some colours do bear the CL label with safety warning. www.richesonart.com/pdfs/color_charts/paintstikschart.pdf
