Water soluble oil paints, also known as water mixable or water miscible oil paints, are a revolutionary addition to the art world. Unlike traditional oil paints, which require solvents such as turpentine for thinning and cleaning, water soluble oil paints can be thinned and cleaned with water, hence their name. This attribute makes these paints more eco-friendly and easier to use, particularly for artists who are sensitive to the harsh chemicals found in traditional oil paint mediums. Water soluble oil paints still deliver the rich, vibrant colours, slow-drying properties, and flexible, crack-resistant finish that artists love in traditional oil paints.
Advantages of Using Water Soluble Oil Paints
Artists who have transitioned to water soluble oil paints have found several benefits. One of the key advantages is that they are less toxic and safer to use than traditional oil paints. They also eliminate the need for harmful solvents, making the painting process more pleasant and less hazardous to health. Additionally, water soluble oil paints are easier to clean up - just water and soap are enough. Despite these differences, they still offer the same depth of colour, texture, and blending capabilities as traditional oil paints.

Just like regular oil paints, water soluble oil paints are versatile and can be used in a variety of techniques such as glazing, impasto, or scumbling. They mix well with water and can be applied in thin layers or thick strokes. When it comes to cleaning your brushes, simply rinse them with water and wash with soap. No need for harsh, smelly solvents! It's also worth noting that while these paints are compatible with most surfaces used for oil painting, they work best with absorbent grounds.
