Description: Artisan Water Mixable Oil - Olive Green 37ml
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 similar to traditional oils. Lightfastness: The pigment's lightfastness is shown with an
ASTM rating. The ASTM abbreviation stands for the American Society for Testing
and Materials. This organization has set standards for the performance of art
materials, including a colour's lightfastness. This system has the highest
lightfastness, and V has the lowest, though ratings I and II are considered
permanent for artists' use. Where no ASTM rating is given for a Winsor and Newton
colour, it is labelled as N/L, meaning "Not Listed." This usually
indicates that the ASTM still needs to test the pigment or the type of range.
It does not necessarily imply a lack of lightfastness. In these cases, we recommend referring to the Winsor and
Newton permanence rating, which evaluates colour on many aspects, including
lightfastness, and indicates a colour's ability to resist fading. Colour Index Name: Each pigment can be universally
identified by its Colour Index Generic Name. For example, Cobalt Blue is
Pigment Blue 28, abbreviated to PB28. Series: The Series number indicates the relative price of
the colour, which is determined mainly by the pigment cost. Series 1 is the
least expensive, and Series 5 is the most expensive. No series column indicates
that the price is uniform across the range. T/O - Transparency/Opacity: Transparent colours are marked
‘T' and semi-transparent ‘ST.' Opaque colours are marked ‘O' and semi-opaque
‘SO.' Transparency, however, is relative to the ratings, which are
provided as a guide only. In addition, any thin film of colour will appear more
transparent than a thicker one. Permanence: The permanence of an artist's colour is defined
as ‘its durability when laid with a brush on paper or canvas, graded
appropriately and displayed under a glass frame in a dry room freely exposed to
ordinary daylight and an ordinary town atmosphere. In simpler terms, they
resist change when exposed to light and the atmosphere. For further information on some colours, the rating may
include one or more of the following additions:Genuine oil colours which avoid conventional solvents and
are cleaned up with water!
