I bought five R&amp;H Pigment Sticks in blue, red, yellow, black, and white, not knowing what to expect. I knew they act like oil paint but in a stick form so can be used a little more like a pastel. However, all the examples I found of oil sticks were bold and abstract while I knew I wanted something more realistic. I gave it a try with the first coat going on heavy and the rest with brushes and clay shapers. It turned out okay for a first try, although the trees were less than stellar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"811\" data-attachment-id=\"2780\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/?attachment_id=2780\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241020_171432663_iOS-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,2028\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone SE (2nd generation)&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1729426472&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20241020_171432663_iOS\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241020_171432663_iOS-1024x811.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241020_171432663_iOS-1024x811.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241020_171432663_iOS-1024x811.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241020_171432663_iOS-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241020_171432663_iOS-768x608.jpg 768w, https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241020_171432663_iOS-1536x1217.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241020_171432663_iOS-2048x1622.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>8&#8243;x10&#8243;, oil stick on canvas board<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve used watercolor, colored pencil, soft pastel, oil pastel, charcoal, graphite, and ink, but never oils.
