Markal Iridescent Range

Oil paint in stick form, made with linseed oil, wax and pigments. Markal Paintstiks can be used alone or with conventional oil colours. They dry overnight, (much faster than other oil sticks) and are mixable woth turpentine for wash effects and softening. They become liquid when applied and, as linseed is a drying oil, a skin forms on the stick which must be peeled off before use. The sticks are non-toxic with no offensive odour and are particularly useful for field trips and for strong gestural marks, as it is not necessary to stop to recharge in mid-stroke.
