R&F Pigment Sticks are a unique version of an oil stick that will transform the way you paint
Oil paint in stick form represents a revolutionary development in oil painting. It means that the paint can be applied directly to a surface without the distancing factor of the brush. This makes it possible to dispense not only with the brush, but with knives, palettes, and solvents, thereby making oil sticks more immediate and…

Eddy always paints ships and boats. He has been painting the same thing for 30 years, every time it works out differently. This takes away the problem of choosing a subject, and frees him up to enjoy the process. Eddy uses off cuts of Huon pine as the support for his work. It’s a sustainable,…

Renee gave us a lot of practical information about how to prepare a brick wall for painting a permanent…
Alasdair McLuckie – Bead weaving with canvas
Alasdair demonstrated glass bead weaving. The technique is complex and requires a lot of planning, attention to detail, feeling for the material, and spatial awareness. It was lovely to hear Al talk about how he had learnt the skill from his father, in the same way that knowledge would have been passed down in the…

You can use liquitex mediums with them all as well. Because they have very low odour, and contain a high pigment load, you don’t have any of…
