About this item

• 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
