Genuine oil colours which avoid conventional solvents and are cleaned up with water!

Artisan Water Mixable Oil Paints was developed to look and work like conventional oil colours without hazardous solvents. Unlike traditional oils, this range can be thinned and cleaned with water, and all brushes and equipment can be cleaned with soap and water. With a balanced spectrum of 40 colours, Artisan includes 25 single pigment colours for brilliance and clean colour mixing.

No Hazardous Solvents: Since it does not need hazardous solvents, Artisan is ideal for artists who share a workspace, for those in education or at home, for those looking for a safer painting environment, and for travel.

Pigments and Binder: The Artisan formulation does not contain water; the linseed and safflower oils have been modified to allow the colour to accept water. This creates a stable emulsion and retains conventional oil colour's working characteristics.

The pigments bring out each colour’s characteristics, from opacity to natural transparency, with the most suitable oil.

Consistency and Texture: A buttery, thick consistency allows for various techniques, and the colour can be thinned as required.

Surface Sheen: Each pigment needs different oil levels, and the sheen may differ slightly from colour to colour in the formulation. Adding water as a solvent and medium will also alter the brilliance.

Complementary Mediums: Artisan has a range of thinners, oils, mediums, and varnishes to allow all oil painting techniques. Created specifically for artists, these ensure the best performance and a painting experience that is very similar to traditional oils.
