@JackANDJude There are many different types of oil pastels so it would be difficult to compare the R+F pigment sticks in this way. The pigment sticks are a high quality oil paint in a stick form (as are some oil pastels) but they are much bigger than most oil pastels so you can work in a large format. Their consistency is unique and very smooth and their high pigment load lets you thin or extend with oil mediums while maintaining vibrant color.
i was wondering, if you wanted to use solvents to mix the paint do the stick work well with them? cold i use the sticks and blend with solvents like i can with regular oil paint? or does it have more of an acrylic quality?
Yes, the pigment sticks dry in a similar time frame as regular tube oil. And as with tube oils, certain colors (pigments) naturally take longer than others.
I love the idea, but they are expensive. Appox. $10-$19 per small stick and up to $80 for large sticks. Sounds and looks great on the video, but after seeing the price - I don't think I will be trying these out anytime soon.

@Movieview90 The pigment sticks are like an oil paint in a stick form. They can be used in conjunction with all oil paint mediums.

I may give these a try. Do they take as long to dry as regular oils?
