Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colours is a genuine oil colour made from modified linseed oil and modified safflower oil. It has been specifically developed to appear and work just like conventional oil colour. The depth of colour, buttery consistency, lightfastness, opacity/transparency, performance and drying times of Artisan allow artists to use this range for all oil colour techniques. The Artisan paint can be thinned with water and brushes can be cleaned up using water.
