These magnificent paints are designed to look and work just like traditional oil paint, but they're a bit special. You can use them without hazardous solvents - they're happy being thinned down and cleaned up with water. They're especially good for artists who share a workspace or don't want solvents in school or at home. Artisan Water Mixable Oil Color have vibrant tones with a thick, buttery consistency so you can use them in a variety of ways.
Artisan Water Mixable Oils work just like conventional oil colors. Artisan's color depth, consistency, lightfastness, opacity/transparency & drying times are all comparable to standard oils. Within Artisan's formulation, the linseed & safflower oil vehicles have been modified to accept water when added. This creates a stable emulsion while retaining the working characteristics of conventional oil color. Painting with Artisan eliminates the need for volatile mediums and cleaners.
