Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour has been specifically developed to appear and work just like conventional oil color
The key difference between Artisan and conventional oils is its ability to thin and clean up with water. Hazardous solvents are not necessary for Artisan and artists can enjoy a safer painting environment, making it ideal for artists who share a work space, schools or painting at home.
There is no water within the Artisan formulation; the linseed and safflower oils have been modified to allow the colour to accept water. This creates a stable emulsion, and retains the working characteristics of conventional oil colour.
Each pigment needs different levels of oil in the formulation, so the sheen may differ slightly from color to color
Artisan has the short buttery consistency expected from a Winsor & Newton oil color, a consistency that is a careful balance between the pigment and the oils used in the formulation
