- Jerry's LIVE Episode #JL315: Let’s Be Direct - Painting with Sennelier Oil Sticks & Oil Pastels
Sennelier has been a major innovator in direct painting, whether looking at the Extra Soft Pastels of the early 1900s, the Oil pastels of the 1940s or the Oil Sticks of the 1980s. Join Andrew and Emmy as they have a look at Sennelier’s update to the Artists’ Oil Stick, what makes this unique next to Sennelier Oil Pastels and Sennelier Oil paints, and how is it used. Let’s be direct!

Wow, the mixes in particular look so luminous -- even more so than pure paint, somehow. Looking forward to trying some for plein air -- seems a lot more portable/less messy than tube paint. Do you know if they are labeled as nonflammable to avoid FAA issues?
Would have watched this while it was live but I was Trekking through the last ep of TNG when it came on so...
Obviously people should “paint at their own risk” and do their own experiments, and I can see why you wouldn’t recommend this, but in my experience, these and most other oil sticks are perfectly fine on unprimed paper. R&F pigment sticks would likely be an exception. I use both Sennelier and Shiva oil sticks on paper and have no problems with visible oil seepage, and I have heard of people who have works they made decades ago which appear unchanged and are not brittle in any way. These are clearly not just oil paint with a tiny bit of wax - they dry much faster than oil paints, and Sennelier has said, in various publications, that they contain a small amount of a drying agent. By volume they contain less oil than do oil paints, they are often used for sketching so there’s not a whole lot of material on the paper surface to begin with, and they dry quickly. I have seen someone bring up the topic of oil-based etching inks - these are applied to unprimed (and typically very absorbent) paper with no problems. They suggest it may be a matter of degree - you use far less ink in a print than you would paint in a painting (plus the inks also often contain driers.) That may be part of what’s going on here. Some Sennelier oil pastels are so “juicy” they they DO actually leave an oil halo over time (even if it is only an aesthetic issue and will not damage the paper.) That said, I absolutely love these oil sticks (and the oil pastels) and highly recommend them. My personal preference is to use them in “painterly sketches” on watercolor paper - they’re like the creamiest oil pastels but actually dry.
Great points! Thanks for tuning in!
Great piece of advice to experiment: definitely I'll give a try them in my Stillman and Burn Zeta sketchbook.
I went ahead and I drew and painted with oil sticks as welll as thin layer Sennelier Rive Gauche oil paints, a pretty picture in my sketchbook, and I sprayed it with the hairspray we use here extensively to fixate soft/oil pastel pieces, and to my surprise, the oil stick paint behaved excellently, exactly as oil pastel; that is, with two or three gentle spraying layers: no discoloring, no tackiness. I used Schwarzkopf Taft green can strenght 4, far the best hairspray for this king of job here in my area; I am not sure if you have anything similar in the Americas. Of course, Sennelier D'Artigny would work excellently, too, but, it is a expensive and brutal chemical, while hairspray is affordable and pleasant-smelling human friendly, since ladies have been spraying their heads for centuries.
I can't believe I missed hanging out with you all today!
How about using with pallet knives?
29:30 I use a sharp utility knife, and cut the plastic just around the head above the paper to reveal only as much from the stick as much I think I will need, and leave the rest of the plastic wrapping around the stick as a protection. I mean, I peel off the skin only as small area as needed, otherwise the skin is coming back, so why remove more than needed.
Definitely a smart tip!
Can you use these with water soluble oils?
30:16 That was a great point, just leave the mess on the stick, since in two day of not using it a skin is developed, which should be removed. Great suggestion.

This was a fantastic show for oil stick lovers. Thank you so much! I have shared the video in the Sennelier fans group.
Thanks for sharing!! We're so glad you enjoyed!
extremely messy i bought some and didn't like them.
I wouldn't say that they are extremelly messy, but definitely tube paint is more straightforward to use even with the brushes. These sticks are and addititional tools for oil paint, you can excellently combine them. Removing the skin, yes, that is really messy and I don't like that "phenomenon" at all, either.
35:03 Emerald green? Is it number 847 Veronese green?
Thank you for pointing this out! I checked with the manufacturer and it looks like that's correct - it should be 847 Veronese Green!
Is the perylene black the same as perylene green which is a black pigment ?
