Available in a good amount of variation among brands, these sticks are perfect for artists who want to work quickly or travel comfortably with their supplies. • To avail the benefits to the fullest, we first need to understand how they work, their pros and cons, their care and storage, and tips to use them in the best possible way. Let’s get started!

3. Wetting The Stick • Applying To Paper • Using A Brush HOW DO THEY WORK? • Once the stick is wet, you can apply it directly to the paper. You can draw or paint with the stick, depending on how much water is added to the surface. • Before using a watercolour paint stick, you can wet it by dipping it in water or spraying it with a water mist. This will soften the stick and allow the pigment to be picked up by a brush or transferred directly to the paper. • You can also use a wet brush to pick up pigment directly from the stick. Simply wet the brush and run it over the surface of the stick to pick up colour, then apply the paint to the paper.

4. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES 01 02 03 04 PORTABILITY VERSATILITY CONTROL TEXTURE They can be used in a variety of ways, including wetting the stick and applying it directly to paper, using it as a drawing tool, or dissolving it in water to create a wash. They allow for greater control over the application of paint, making it easier to create fine details and precise lines. They are easy to transport and use on the go, making them a popular choice for plein air painting and travel. They can create a unique texture and visual interest in artwork due to their granulating effects and the ability to layer and blend colours.

5. HOW TO CHOOSE GOOD QUALITY WATERCOLOUR STICKS Choosing good quality watercolour sticks is important to ensure that you get the best results when you paint. Here are some factors to consider when selecting watercolour sticks- Pigment Quality Look for watercolour sticks made with high-quality pigments that are lightfast, meaning they won't fade over time.

6. Binder Quality The binder used in watercolour sticks can affect the consistency and handling of the paint. Softness And Texture They can vary in softness and texture, which can affect how they handle on paper. Colour Range Consider the colour range offered by the brand and choose one that has the colours you need for your artwork. Brand Reputation: Look for brands with a good reputation among watercolour artists.

7. HOW TO TAKE CARE OF WATERCOLOUR STICKS Keep Them Clean And Dry To keep your watercolour sticks clean and dry and prevent them from becoming contaminated with other colours or debris, wipe them with a damp cloth or tissue after each use. Use a Light Touch They are often softer than other types of paint, so it's important to use a light touch when applying them to paper. This helps prevent the sticks from breaking or crumbling. Sharpen Carefully If your watercolour sticks become blunt or worn down, you can sharpen them using a sharp knife or sandpaper. Be sure to sharpen them carefully and evenly to avoid damaging the stick. Store Them Properly Proper storage is essential to ensure that your watercolour paint sticks remain in good condition.
