Shiva Artist's Paintstiks Oil Colors Shiva Paintstiks are oil paint in a solid form. They are not crayons, oil pastels or soft pastels. Shiva Paintstiks are made of durable pigments blended with highly refined drying oils and wax solidified into a stick form resembling an oversized crayon. They are wrapped in a heavy cardboard tube that makes them easy to handle, help keep your hands clean, and prevent the warmth of your hands from softening the paintstiks as you work.click here for more info
