Ever used water soluble oil paints?

just wanted to know if its just as good as regular oils. color wise and if its easier to use. thanksEver used water soluble oil paints?
Yes and they are wonderful to work with! They have a buttery consistency, especially the Artisan paints by Winsor and Newton. The key is in the mixing, be sure to use water soluble mediums until you get the consistency you are looking for. Fast drying mediums will give it a lustrous sheen and make it more buttery and will dry it in about 2 days depending on the characteristics of the color of paint. The stand oil medium will really make it buttery and smooth. You need to experiment, because the paint is very adaptable to different painting styles. All is non-toxic and clean up is a easy and fast.Ever used water soluble oil paints?
Yes, I have used the water-soluble oil-type paints.





They reminded me of something in between acrylic paints and oil paints. They stay tacky longer than acrylics, but not as long as real oils. They also don't have quite the tranlucency of oils... but again are more convincing than acrylics on a canvas. I would suggest them if you paint using a lot of thin layers.
Is the package mislabeled or are you using the wrong word. water will not dissolve oil. will not can't do not happening, no way....................
They have similar qualities than regular oil paint, without the pain of solvent cleanup.

I know them as water mixable and yes I love them just as much as regular oil paint. They have the same texture and color quality, but I find the water mixable to have easier clean up, and if you wanna use the same brush but with a different color it's so much quicker to rid your brush of the paint. And another thing, I think you don't need as much medium, that's what I've noticed. Sometimes I don't use it at all with water mixable : )
I've used them, but not in a long time so I don't know
