Morning class, this week we’re looking at comparing the similarities and differences between Water-Mixable Oils vs Traditional Oils.
If you like the idea of trying oil paints but the practicalities of cleaning up your brushes with solvents are out of the question, then painting with water soluble oils might be the answer.
You could paint in a small room without good ventilation or you've had to stop using traditional oils due to skin sensitivities or asthma.
How about a real oil paint that can be mixed with water or natural drying oils and cleaned with soap and water. Long working time, soft blends, buttery consistency, solvent-free oil painting and a super easy cleanup.
Mmm, sounds too good to be true, so what's the catch?
In this video, I show how to use water based oils and the different handling properties between water-mixable oil paints and traditional oil paints and demonstrate some best practices for achieving great results if you're a beginner to oils.
I demonstrate with Duo-Aqua water mixable oils from Holbein, and I'm using Permanent White, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, and Ultramarine Light. And in the traditional oils, I'm using Titanium white, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine Deep.
