R&F Drawing Oils

This looks like an oil pastel, but it's actually something new. R&F Drawing Oils are simply oil paint, but with a uniquely stiff formulation that allows artists to use it for drawing.

Here's how you use this new medium: start by removing the linseed-oil skin. You can do this simply by drawing on a piece of scrap paper or, if you want to remove more of the skin at once, by wiping it off with a lintless cloth (microfiber is good for this purpose.) After you do this with a particular stick, you'll have several days until the skin re-forms.

Then you can simply draw, with the full power and intensity of oil color! R&F Drawing Oils feel like extremely soft oil pastels, with all the freedom and directness of pastels, but also with a difference: unlike oil pastels, R&F Drawing Oils dry completely! They take a similar amount of time to dry as oil paints (think weeks, not hours), but once dry they require no fixative and are suitable for display.
