Why Use Water Soluble Oil Paints?

Water-soluble oil paints (also known as water-mixable oils or water-miscible oils) are oil paints that can be diluted and cleaned with water, rather than solvents. Paint solvent-free with water-mixable oils. Easy cleanup, no solvent needed and they also dry faster in general than traditional oils. They are thus great for travel, or underpainting with "lean" layers.

 

Understanding Water-Mixable Oil Paint

These innovative paints are made using a modified oil binder that allows them to be thinned and cleaned up with water, making them a convenient alternative to traditional oils. See our article on Water Mixable Oil Paint vs. Traditional Oil Paint

 

Water-soluble oil paints have been developed to emulate traditional oil color and work well for:

  • Oil painters who are sensitive to or want to avoid exposure to solvents such as mineral spirits or turpentine.
  • Easy cleanup, no solvent needed and they also dry faster in general than traditional oils
  • Students and teachers in schools and colleges where the use of oil paint is prohibited because of solvents.
  • Artists working in a shared studio space where the build up of solvent levels could lead to a harmful concentration of vapors and an unpleasant odor.
  • Artists who work within a small home environment and wish to reduce the odor of oil painting.
  • Artists that travel can transport these paints on airplanes subject to the approval of the airline.
