Artisan water mixable oils have been developed to work and appear just like traditional oil paints, but without any of the harmful toxic chemicals used for thinning and clean-up.   

• Use water for thinning and cleaning
• Safer for people who are solvent sensitve
• No water in the paints, they've just been altered to allow the water to interact with the safflower and linseed oils
• Stable emulsion which keeps the working characteristics of a regular oil paint
• Sheen may vary slightly form colour to colour as each pigment requires a slightly different amount of binder
• Smooth buttery consistency
• Used with Artisan mediums for a greater variety of techniques
