The wOil range has been formulated using many single pigments for brilliance of colour and clean colour mixing. The most suitable oils and dispersion methods have been selected to bring out the individual colour characteristics, from opacity to transparency. There is no water in the wOil formulation.

The linseed oil and safflower oil vehicles have been modified to allow the colour to mix with water, creating a stable emulsion while retaining the working characteristics of traditional oil colour.

wOil Consistency/Viscosity - wOil has a very smooth, buttery consistency, which allows ease of use for the artist. The viscosity or thickness of the colour is medium to heavy body, which can be used directly from the tube or thinned with water or wOil mediums as desired.

wOil Colour and blending - wOil colours can be blended with traditional oil colours and mediums. WOil Colour is not classified as a water-based colour but can be blended with acrylic based colour (add a few drops of water).

wOil Colour Luster - The reflective quality of the wOil film varies from colour to colour because each pigment requires differing volumes of oil in the formulation. The addition of water mixed to thin the colour, as well as the use of wOil mediums, will also alter surface lustre.

wOil Permanence - Most artists want to ensure their colours are permanent. Pigment developments have led to continued improvements in the lightfastness of artists' colours. These improvements have been utilized in wOil.

All wOil colours are rated Lightfastness I or II and are recommended as permanent for artists' use. wOil Drying time - When WOil is thinned with water, the water evaporates from the paint film fairly rapidly, leaving behind a traditional film of oil that dries using oxidation. The different drying rates of wOil colours are due to the different reactions of each pigment when mixed with oil. wOil colours should dry between 3 and 5 days, slightly faster than traditional oil colours.
