This is a demo done by for a tutorial on using oil sticks (also sometimes known as oil bars) www.artandartistry.com , please visit the Art and Artistry forum for more useful demos, membership is free :) Also, see this thread http://artandartistry.com/index.php?showtopic=3397 to also see a paintstik demo done by cj Kelly.
Paintstiks are oil paints in stick form consisting of linseed oil as a pigment binder along with enough wax to make it solid. They come in a split side cardboard tube that the stick can be pushed out of.
This is my collection of Shiva Paintstiks, 56 colors, sorted by temperature, divided into rows using wooden chopsticks. No worries about them drying out since they form a skin which is easily rubbed off, along with all contaminants the next time you want to use them.
The Paintstiks can be used in many different ways, you can paint directly using it as a drawing tool, or with brushes, knive
