context_page_description: Oil sticks or oil bars are a art medium. It is produced in a stick form similar to that of a crayon or oil pastel. It is distinguished from oil pastel in that drying oil such as linseed oil is used as the main binder and does not have to be framed under glass as with oil pastels which use a non-drying oil as the primary binder.
  Oil sticks are oil paint in solid form. Oil sticks are made by blending the oil and pigment with wax and pouring it into molds to form an oil stick. Oil sticks can be used interchangeably with traditional tube oils to produce drawings, paintings, and sketches. Popularized in the 1980s by such artists as Jean-Michel Basquiat, oil sticks have become much more common in contemporary oil painting in recent years.
