Sennelier and R&F. Sennelier has a classical range of colours of good quality and are by far firmer (because they uses mineral wax in their sticks?) R&F sticks are the best probably… handmade with love and natural wax. They come in a most delicious range of colours: Dianthus Pink, Celadon Green, Egyptian violet, Turkey Umber Greenish… just to name a few!

• R & F : Pigment sticks 88 colours + 2 blending sticks (with and without drier) Available in small sticks of 38ml (1.9 x 12.7cm) and large sticks 188ml (3.8 16.5cm) R&F Pigment Sticks are handmade in small batches, carefully milled and molded.  They use only the basic traditional materials: natural wax, linseed oil, and pigment, and use them with absolute purity.  Natural waxes (beeswax & plant wax) allows for a minimum amount of wax.  This results in softer consistency and greater paint film strength.  Their pigment sticks have none of the additives, extenders, substitutes, or facilitators that are commonly used in industrial production.  While the use of these adulterations can save a lot of work and reduce the cost of materials, they lower the quality of the paint.  To do without them it is necessary to create a very precise balance of the ingredients.  This balance is what makes their Pigment Stick so luscious and luminous.  They have a lipstick soft consistency that gives them the same fluidity, subtlety, and durability as traditional oil colors, with the gestural spontaneity of direct drawing.
