Daler-Rowney - Georgian Water Mixable Oil
Georgian Water Mixable Oil
Paint with authentic oil techniques while cleaning brushes with water alone
Oil painting without the solvent fumes transforms classroom instruction and home studio work. Georgian Water Mixable Oil Colors maintain traditional oil characteristics, smooth viscosity, heavy pigment loads, impasto capability, while cleaning up with plain water. This practical advantage matters when teaching groups, working in shared spaces, or painting where ventilation limits conventional oil use.
The chemistry works: these paints thin, mix, and wash with water instead of turpentine or mineral spirits, yet they behave like standard oils on the canvas. Thick applications hold brushwork and palette knife textures for dimensional work; thinned with water, they create transparent washes similar to watercolor effects. Pigment concentration delivers vibrant color that maintains intensity whether applied thick or diluted. High lightfastness ratings ensure finished work resists fading over time.
Surface drying takes five to seven days, matching traditional oil timelines and allowing extended blending windows. Colors maintain consistency from wet to dry with no unexpected shifts once cured. The balanced range provides essential mixing primaries alongside ready-mixed secondaries and earth tones. Artists transitioning from acrylics appreciate oil's extended working time, while experienced oil painters value the practical convenience water cleanup provides.
