Water Mixable Oil Painting
We all grew up with the concept that 'oil and water don't mix' drilled into our heads - but when it comes to art, rules are made to be broken! Water-mixable, solvent-free paints have joined the fray, and you may be wondering 'how can oil pigments possibly be water mixable?'
The answer lies in modifying the oil vehicle on a molecular level, which means that there's no need for turpentine or other hazardous solvents to thin paint and clean supplies. It's one of those incredible advances in art technology, allowing artists to create without sacrificing safety. Amazing!
Marvellous as it may seem, this technology helps to ensure that the process of creating art is safe and efficient. We don't have to compromise our safety for creativity!
Water mixable oil painting is becoming increasingly popular among amateur and professional painters alike. Unlike traditional oil paints, water mixable oils offer a much less toxic painting experience as they are made with modified linseed or safflower oil and don't require the use of harsh solvents for thinning or cleaning. They also have a more vivid and vibrant palette than traditional oil paints.
Water mixable oils are incredibly versatile and can be thinned with water, allowing for smooth transitions between thick and thin paint applications as well as blending and layering techniques that are usually not achievable with traditional oils. This also means they're much easier to clean up since all you need is soap and water, and you don't have to worry about the health hazards associated with solvents.
When it comes to choosing colors for your painting, water mixable oils offer a wide range of options from traditional earth tones to bright neons. And because they are designed to be thinned with water, you can create various degrees of transparency and opacity, adding an extra layer of dimension and texture to your work.
For those just starting out with water mixable oils, there are a variety of beginner-friendly sets available containing all the essential colors you need as well as comprehensive instructions. And for more experienced painters, many manufacturers also offer professional-level artist grade sets that boast an even larger selection of colors and higher pigment concentrations.
Water mixable oils are a great way to get the traditional oil painting experience without the mess, toxicity, or hassle. So if you're looking for an easier way to create beautiful works of art, give water mixable oils a try! You may just find yourself falling in love with this
