Winsor & Newton Artists Oilbar, 50ml | Various Shades

Winsor & Newton Artists Oilbar 50ml | Various Shades

An artists' quality oil colour in stick form, Winsor & Newton Artists' Oilbar enables painting and drawing freely and directly onto surfaces.

The new Artists' Oilbar is a unique medium because it provides artists with greater buttery consistency and richness of oil colour together with the freedom and directness of pastels or charcoal.

Artists' Oilbar is fundamentally different from oil pastels or oil crayons due to its unique formulation. The new range has a spectrum of 50 colours each of which is produced by combining artists' quality pigments with linseed or safflower oil, blended with specially selected wax. It offers an exciting and versatile way of painting and drawing – from sketching, to sgraffito effects, whether used on its own or with tube oil colour.

Pigments

Winsor & Newton use single pigments wherever possible to create individual colours. Combined with strength of colour, single pigments provide a wide colour range in themselves and offer cleaner, brighter mixtures with infinite hues. This is particularly important for violets, greens and oranges. Single pigment 'secondaries' considerably broaden the artists' available spectrum.

Consistency & Texture

Oilbar has a unique consistency; when softened and blended, it moves freely and is fully intermixable with all Winsor & Newton oil ranges as well as with other Oilbar colours. When an oil medium is added, Oilbar handles comparably to tube colour.

Surface Sheen

As each pigment requires different levels of oil in the formulation, the surface sheen of Oilbar may differ slightly from colour to colour. The addition of solvent, as well as the use of additive mediums will also alter the sheen.
