Hi their i am new to oil painting, but i want to learned of course. My question is can u make a tutorial with water mix oil panting with basics, like brushes to use. Show how to mix it etc. please just a short start up tutorial on materials u need. I will appreciate for life. No one has yet made one with water mix oil painting am sure others are looking for one 2.
I am nearly finished my first painting using these oils and have loved the ease of clean up. However, my painting has been drying for about 3 weeks and I decided to put a glaze over part of it using white mixed with Artisan Safflower oil. The layer has beaded on the surface like water on an oily surface. Can you advise?
i accidently bought the water based oil paint and used turpine to thin it out...i set my back ground and its been 14 days and the damn thing hasnt dried yet...pissing me off. I could have just bought acrylic and had the painting done by now.
I'm thinking about switching to water mixable oils, but I have a question. Do I need to use synthetic brushes? All my brushes now are natural hog hair brushes.
hello, exelent vid. i do have a few questions i hope you can help me with. I love to use different kind of midiums all the time....i was wondering since is water mixable can i use it lets say on streached watercolor papper? if so, do i have to prepare the peper with something special? any kind of grms of paper? can i use then on a layer of watercolor paint?....thanks alot for taking your time to help others
All water miscibles are made the same way: that is they All use the exact same pigment they use to make their traditional oil and substitute regular linseed oil with a water miscible linseed oil. The only preference is price vs performance. Holbein DuoAquas are more expensive, but really no better/worse than W-N Artisan or any of the other water-miscible oils. I like the fact that I can pick up a 200 ml tube of W-N's for only $10.00 ($22.00 for Cads/Cobalt/Cerulean/Viridian/Sap) on sale!
I am going to paint a picture on a wood slap for a friend of mind, and was wondering if you could mix oil paints and a clear stain to color the wood where the gain of the wood would still show through, and yes I am very new at painting.
Hi thank you very much for your reply =) I found the colours in two other brands, I'm just wondering what was your experience with the Artisan (W&N) brand and the Van Gogh H2O oils? Thanks in advance
I am sorry, but I do not use either French Ultramarine or Van Dyke Brown so I am not sure I can answer your question. I have seen van dyke brown before and to get close you can use 25 % terra rosa and 75% ultramarine blue deep.
Ultramarine Light is a little more neutral where as Ultramarine deep leans a little towards red. Hope that helps!
Great video. Good to know these are catching on though my uni tutors seem to turn their noses up at the idea unfortunately. I use nothing else now (Artisan) and cannot bear the fumes of turps if any fellow students using them nearby. You don't mention the Artisan Thinner in your video but this is an excellent product too.
I know this is weird but I use Weber Res-N-Gel to thin my water-mixable oils for washes and it works just fine and (usually) dries overnight.. Great video! I'm so happy to see someone finally doing videos on the subject of water-mixable oils.
What a great teacher you are, so much wonderful content here, tips and advice. I bought a Windsor Newton kit of water mixable oils, with a discount coupon (they were pricey) but didn't really know how to work with them properly. Your video really helped me a lot. Brandon, you present an excellent teaching video. I thank you for taking the time to do this and share your knowledge. I think I'll break out the WS Oils this morning!!
No problem! If I have encouraged you to get out the WS Oils than I have succeeded in my mission to get artist to paint. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
If you paint with the Bob Ross wet on wet technique, would water mixable oils work as well as standard? Also, I have been trying out Turpenoid Natural, if you have used this, what is your take on it? Thank you!
I don't see why not. They work the same as traditional oils. I did try the natural Turp when I used traditional oil paints and found it to work OK for cleaning the brushes but not so well for using to thin the paint while painting, it was sort of tacky.
I've researched a bit about these paints and they've really seem to catch my attention as I'm an eco-friendly painter. I heard that they're limited on color selections though (which is its only big downfall at the moment).
A few questions regarding these paints:
-can you mix oil paints with them? I'm not sure if you can because that would defeat the purpose of washing it with water and soap.
-how are the colors compared to oils (when dried)? Are they less vibrant than oil?
I use Holbein Duo Aqua and I purchase them through DickBlick(.com). They have over 90 different colors available so I don't think that will be a problem.
I usually use a limited number of colors:
Ultramarine Deep, Cadmium Red Hue, Cadmium Yellow Light Hue and Titanium White
I have started using some grays lately as well:
Payne's Gray, Gray of Grays, and Naples Yellow Light. These save me some time when I am mixing my colors.
Yes you can mix them with traditional oil paints but you must not mix more than 30% of the traditional oil paint or it will no longer be water soluble.
The color are great. I can tell no difference from the Rembrandt traditional paints I used in the past. These are great paints. If you have any more questions please let me know, I would love to help you in any way that I can.
Thank you for the response. This makes me more anxious about getting them. I will definitely start using them as soon as I finish my tubes of traditional oils. It'll be so much faster to clean and more safe as well.
No problem! If you have any questions let me know. I will be more than happy to help however I can. I really want more painters to start using these paints. It just makes our craft that much more enjoyable when we don't have to worry about the dangers and hassels of our supplies!

Hi, sorry to bother. Thanks for your video, it's really helpful.
Could I please ask which one of the Holbein Aqua Duo colours are the equivalent of:
- French Ultramarine Blue (There's Ultramarine Deep and Ultramarine Light, which one is closer in your experience?)
- Van Dyke Brown (I can't seem to find the same name on Jerry's Artarama)
