I need to hear it straight from an expert and would be grateful if you'd advise me: Can I use normal linseed oil from the grocery store? It's so much cheaper! And if yes, does it have the same end result as the one from the art store? Thank you very much (and for the excellent video).
@AlyaaGad Thank you for your question and comment. There are many different grades of linseed oil: Oil that you would consume is not processed in the same way as oil you would use for art or other purposes – and one is not appropriate for the other. It is likely that food grade oil will go rancid over time and ruin your artwork.
@deblovetrains For all water soluble oil paints it is best to use a water soluble oil painting medium to thin your paints rather than using water. A tiny bit of water is okay - however, if you use too much water, or too much paint medium for that matter, it will thin out the paint binder too much reducing the integrity of the paint. It is best to use water for cleaning and stick to mediums for changing the consistency of your paint slightly.
So if oil paint oxidizes, could you in theory, put it in an oxygen chamber to make it dry faster?

@PtdInc1933 The Water Mixable Oil Paint is still an oil paint and should only be mixed with itself or other oil paints - never acrylic.

I'm confused now. Your video on Max oil soluble paint video said not to use water as a thinner. Only for clean up.
I have read and watched so many videos and forums about water soluble oil paint and wondering who is really right?
Are the water soluble oil paints so different that different rules apply to each product?
thank you

Can you make your own water mixable oils by mixing dry pigments with water mixable linseed oil?
