Review: No toxic odor and very beginner friendly! - I’ve been a painter for a long time, but always very intimidated by oil paints. My favorite artist said she used these, so I immediately purchased to try them out! OBSESSED. The colors are so rich and opaque. They mix well and go on smoothly and thick if you’d like. Doesn’t take nearly as long to dry as regular oils, and there’s no odor! I love being able to blend on the canvas, it makes painting skin especially so much smoother and realistic.
Review: Fantastic set of beginner friendly oil paints in a nearly complete range of colors - These paints behave like traditional oil paints and are nearly as pigmented as the artist's grade traditional oil paints by W&N. They definitely seem more pigmented than the Winton grade. There's an issue with extra oil being in some tubes, and some tubes not being 100% filled upon arrival, but none were tampered with, it just seems to be filling issues. Still, the paints perform wonderfully and this set is great for beginners. The tubes are SMALL, less than 1/3 of what a normal small tube contains. The color selection is very good; you get warm and cool versions of green, blue and red, but only one real yellow as the warm yellow is very orange heavy (cad yellow hue). You will run out of white before all the rest for sure. The earth and skin tones are rich but the selection is not full so keep that in mind if you want to do portraiture. Color selection is mostly missing Burnt Umber, Van Dyke Brown, Sap Green, Prussian Blue, Mars Black, and a Warm Yellow like Winsor Yellow but you've got everything else you'll ever need. The paints dry a significant amount of time faster than standard oil paints, most are touch dry within 36hrs. The paints are a bit stiff so always work lean to fat; add in turpentine or water-mixable solvent (or water) and gradually add more water mixable medium (I use fast drying medium) as you add more layers to the painting. Washing up is a breeze, but if you use solvent, as you should be, the paints will leave behind some sludgy residue inside the deep bristles of the brushes which can harden and bind the bristles if you don't wash it out so you'll need Masters Brush Soap to fully wash them out at the end of every session since these paints will not fully dissolve into solvents like traditional oil paints do. Ultimately if you want to avoid toxic solvents, want water-washable paints, and want something with the rich chroma and varied hues of oil paints but with faster drying and less expense, give these paints a try! P.s. the French Ultramarine is particularly good. So good that I ordered a 200ml tube to keep on hand because it is better than most brands artist grade versions at a tiny fraction of the cost. It's not as good as W&N artist grade french ultramarine, but it's literally less than 1/3 the cost.

## Features

- Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour has been specifically developed to appear and work just like conventional oil color
- The key difference between Artisan and conventional oils is its ability to thin and clean up with water. Hazardous solvents are not necessary for Artisan and artists can enjoy a safer painting environment, making it ideal for artists who share a work space, schools or painting at home.
- There is no water within the Artisan formulation; the linseed and safflower oils have been modified to allow the colour to accept water. This creates a stable emulsion, and retains the working characteristics of conventional oil colour.
- Each pigment needs different levels of oil in the formulation, so the sheen may differ slightly from color to color
- Artisan has the short buttery consistency expected from a Winsor & Newton oil color, a consistency that is a careful balance between the pigment and the oils used in the formulation

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How fast do these dry?  I have been painting with acrylics what are the differences?  Thanks**
A: It's still an oil paint, and the use of water while painting means that the water component dries within a few days; but, the oil base itself means that the thorough complete drying time is six months to a year, before you can varnish it.

**Q: If only water is needed, what is artisan h2o med linseed oil multicolor for?**
A: I do use water mixable linseed oil in preparing my canvas and also for blending.    I don't use water in any way during painting.  The advantage in using water mixable oil paint is the   clean up and no chemical smell.

**Q: does it mean that the medium for these is water?**
A: It means you can use water to thin your paint and wash your brushes. Still use a bit of soap on your brushes when washing. The drying time is a bit faster than regular oil paint too.

**Q: Can i use these with normal linseed oil? i can't buy the linseed oil for water mixable oils where i live. thanks!**
A: Yes. My bottle says it is linseed oil. You won't bNeed much. My bottle is 8.4 ounces and only 1 or  out of it after a year of once a week painting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's great for my purposes and I highly recommend them
*by D***N on January 27, 2019*

I am learning to oil paint and have chosen this line of paint intentionally. I am physically disabled and at times can be very messy with my painting. I'm not sure my wife giggling in the other room would agree with at times and she would probably add a few other adjectives. That is for a different discussion. LOL My concerns with oil painting was the practicality and cleanup. So far, in three months of painting I have been incredibly happy with this brand. Now, I do not have a lot of other brands to compare it to. I can really only compare Windsor and newtons water mixable and traditional oil paints. So far, the only difference I have discovered between the two involved cleanup and readily available colors. Let's discuss cleanup first. With warm soap and water, my brushes come perfectly clean. My hands, face, table, and any other thing that I accidentally touch has all come by gently rubbing a non-alcohol baby wipe, soap and water, or even a damp rag. During my painting sessions, I use a two compartment brush clean up container. This has allowed me to thoroughly clean my brush during the session without contaminating other colors on my palate or canvas. This is a great line of paints for my needs or really anyone looking for alternative ways to clean up without using harsh solvents on your hands or other items in your painting area. Finding colors and mixing. I do not have a lot of experience with mixing. So more experienced painters may have achieved better results than I have. First, as these are not as widely accepted as traditional oil paints, there are not as many colors readily available. I have also found it a little difficult to achieve the same colors with these as I have seen during tutorials or during my weekly class. My Bob Ross certified instructor with 40+ Years of painting and teaching experience has also had difficulty with mixing the colors to match those we are using in class. If you do not need an exact match, I believe this can be worked around. However, each artist must decide that part for themselves. My overall impression, is a great one. I may experiment with other water-soluble paints just to know if there is a difference but not because I am disappointed with this brand. I have also learned that you can make traditional oil paints a part of your painting by using limited amounts which will make them water-soluble also. This will solve my limited color range vs. traditional oils. Only time will tell, how they will hold up for me but so far, all is great!
