Description
OILBAR OXIDE OF CHROMIUM
Oxide of Chromium is an opaque willow green pigment. Though discovered in 1809 it was only made available for artists in 1862. Today, it is commonly used for camouflage clothing.
Our Oilbars combine the buttery consistency of oil paint with the freedom and immediacy of charcoal and pastels. Don’t mistake them for oil pastels, though – Oilbars are made to a special formulation of linseed or safflower oil and wax. You can use them on their own or with tube oil colour.
