Made in the USA, these paintstiks dry within 24 hours, are easy to clean with soap and water, and remain fresh thanks to their self-sealing film. Compatible with traditional oil paints and mediums, they work on multiple surfaces including fabric and paper, making them ideal for artists seeking convenience without compromising quality. ## Description When you're ready to start your next oil painting, pick up Shiva pianistic artist colors instead of a brush. Manufactured in the united states, paintstiks are ideal for sketching and outlining, Shiva pianistic artist colors are refined linseed oil blended with a quality pigment and solidified into a convenient stick form. Paintstiks can be spread or blended and used in conjunction with conventional oil paint. There are no unpleasant odors or fumes, so you can virtually paint anywhere, at any time, on almost any surface from paper to panel to fabric. Paintstiks are “self-sealing”. That is, they form a protective film so the color won't rub off or dry out. Yet they always stay moist and fresh, providing an indefinite shelf life because they reseal in 24 hours. This film is easily removed by peeling it away with a paper towel, or rubbing it off gently. It can also be removed by carefully paring it with a knife (it can be sharpened to a point in this matter). When the stick has begun to wear to the edge of the sleeve, simply loosen the sleeve from the oil stick at the seam, open the sleeve and push the stick forward. Press the sleeve around the oil stick again and repeat the peeling process as needed. Remember that Shiva pianistic artist colors are oil color, the same as tube oils, so all the same techniques, mediums and surfaces can be used including varnishes. Paintstiks are available in 55 professional colors, 22 iridescent and 12 student colors. Review: Five Stars! Nice! - I am new to oil painting, and I find that this is a great addition to any oil paint set. The application is very smooth and buttery, and they are so much fun to play with. You can also cut a small piece off and use a palette knife to mix with an oil medium, such as walnut oil (I use M. Graham Walnut Alkyd Medium) and it will come out just like regular oil paint! These are great to use on days when I want to do an oil painting, but am too lazy to get all my supplies out, so with these I can do a full oil painting very easily and quickly. Highly recommend!

So your Acrylic paint and any Acrylic Mediums you are using needs to be fully dried before you go in with the sticks. Once your Acrylic (water based) products have fully dried, feel free to use these sticks, any oil-based paint and any oil paint medium interchangeably. These sticks are great, Have fun! **Q: What is the difference between the student version and the professional version. Looks the same to me with slight variations in the colors** A: Shiva only makes this one 12 piece set in student sticks. All other sticks/color options are their professional sticks. Other than colors, the only difference is the student paintstiks contain a lower pigment content than the professional sticks. I wouldn't let that scare you off, though, because visually these colors are very bright, completely opaque and they are smooth with excellent coverage and easy to work with. If you have never used a paint stick before, I would highly recommend this set unless you were looking for different colors. This is a great starter set for sure! **Q: what size are these oil sticks** A: According to the box, the sticks are 4.5 x 5/8" (11.5 x 1.7cm). They are large, bigger than Jumbo sized crayons. **Q: Can these be used for outdoor signs?** A: I would guess yes. However they don’t dry as quickly as acrylic paint. These are oil based paints. So would you use that for your outdoor signs? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars!

Highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality oil sticks *by N***3 on August 28, 2025* Excellent set of oil sticks , I used them for fruit theorem on velvet board. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for those who want instantanoeus results; great if you're patient *by J***S on August 5, 2014* These sticks are shorter and narrower than the "artists" style -- so, that means for me they were great to experiment with. The color run the gamut of the crayola 8-pack of crayons, with a few others to help blend for new colors. Might be me, but the blending was not as easy as seen on YouTube tutorials. These are HARD sticks (even after peeling off their skins). So, a palette knife (or something similar that bends and holds it hard shape) is an essential -- as are muscles and patience. The colors can be blended. Don't expect it to take just a minute. Once blended though, they work beautifully and depending on what method you use to apply them, they are beautiful and don't detract from the drape of the fabric. ## Frequently Bought Together - Jack Richeson 121501 Shiva Oil Paintstik, Student Colors, Set of 12 - Jack Richeson Shiva Oil Paintstik, Traditional Colors, Set of 6 - Jack Richeson 121608 Shiva Oil Paintstik, Iridescent Gold/Silver and Copper, Set of 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/5158398-121501-shiva-oil-paintstik-student-colors-set-of-12](https://www.desertcart.us/products/5158398-121501-shiva-oil-paintstik-student-colors-set-of-12) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
