Winsor & Newton report much interest
among painters in the solid oil colors invented by
the French painter, G. F. Raffaelli. The work is
done from the stick direct, without use of brushes
or palettes, as in pastel. The sticks, which come in
two hundred tints, are in use cut to a point like a
lead pencil, and applied direct to the canvas, panel
or paper. The colors dry quickly and can be used
with tube colors, can be easily blended or removed,
can be varnished, etc.
