Winsor & Newton - Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour Sets
Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour Sets
Paint with genuine oils and clean your brushes with plain water
Genuine oil paint without the solvent dependency. Winsor & Newton reformulated the oil vehicle itself to accept water as a thinner and cleaning agent, maintaining the working properties that define oil painting while eliminating turpentine and mineral spirits from your process. These aren't water-soluble acrylics disguised as oils, they're actual oil colors with modified molecular structure that bonds with water.
The paint handles like traditional oils because it fundamentally is oil paint: buttery consistency straight from the tube, extended open time for blending and manipulation, authentic depth and luminosity in both transparent glazes and opaque passages. Lightfastness ratings match Winsor & Newton's conventional oils. You can build traditional techniques, wet-into-wet, scumbling, impasto, glazing, using familiar methods while cleaning brushes at the sink with soap and water.
The Beginner Set provides six essential 37ml tubes covering warm and cool primaries plus earth tone and white, enough to explore color mixing and basic techniques. The Studio Set expands this to ten colors and adds practical tools: water-mixable linseed oil for extending paint and modifying flow, plus two hog bristle brushes sized for immediate use. Both sets suit artists seeking oil painting's unique qualities in shared spaces, teaching environments, or anywhere solvent fumes present genuine concerns.
