Oil Stick Landscape Painting with Melissa Talma: Expand your painting horizons with oil sticks, a truly unique art medium! Oil sticks combine the soft blendable or thick impasto effects possible with oil paint, but with the advantage of a much quicker drying time and a tactile experience similar to using pastels. Learn to mix a wide range of colors as well as a variety of techniques for applying these pigmented solid paint sticks while creating your own beautiful landscape painting. This medium allows for experimentation and a multitude of applications!
- Shiva paint sticks: Basic set of 6 colors (available at The Art Stop)
