Post your other non-phtographic art here.

Thanks Grant, I have never done an entire painting with them--just little samples like that.
I do not like messy hands either or smeary messes!
What is nice about them, is you can use them on any kind of sturdy paper or canvas.
They look good on a paper with tooth.

Rich, they are made with non drying oils
and waxes so a finished work would have to be matted.
I don't know how they would be treated if done on canvas. Maybe a spray fix-a-tif or varnish?
Mine oil sticks are at least 15 years old and still workable.

Back in the mid to late 90's into the early 2000's, I was experimenting with everything.
I LOVE oils. They are messy, expensive and even though some turps are odorless, they are still toxic.
(I need all the brain cells that I have!)
I bought what was back then called "Water Miscible" oils and they were not as pleasant to work with
as oil based pigments. I still have some. I'm not sure how well they have held up over the years.
I keep tubes of paint in tightly sealed "supperware" containers.

And pencil lines showing in finished art doesn't bother me at all!!
Glad you mentioned that, Rich!
It's real. Art is real, made by human hands, not copy machines!
