LOVE my Cobra water mixable oils!!! They are so creamy and blend beautifully. I only use the Quick Dry when I am doing a color study in a sketchbook. I use either Windsor & Newton Artisan linseed or safflower oil (depending upon the substrate) as a medium. WN artisan also has a thinner that I use as a mineral spirit. Charlie Hunter uses water with Cobra WM oils as a mixing medium quite successfully. If using water as a medium, the substrate matters. You cannot use oil primed canvas/linen. Sadly Royal Talens/Cobra does not make some colors I.e. Viridian. More manufacturers are creating their version of water mixable oils - Daniel Smith, Holbein, Lucas etc and they make some of those “missing” colors. Some of those brands are just as good as Cobra in my opinion. Water mixable oils can be used in conjunction with traditional oils as long as the ratio of water mixable to traditional does exceed 30% traditional to Water mixable oils. (I think that is the ratio. - check with manufacturer for exact amounts). So if you are wanting to transition from traditional to water mixable oils, you can do it incrementally and not throw away all your current oils. My biggest reason for using water mixable oils is the cleanup. Soap and water is all you need - No solvents. The big difference is that Cobra Water mixable oils are “real” oils but have an emulsifier incorporated into the mixture making it play nice with water.

I have used water soluble oils for years. I use Grumbacher and Artisan because those are what I bought my son years ago. I found Lukas Berlin from Jerry's Artarama and gave them a try. Their low priced but the consistency is buttery and I love that. I can't use solvents because of allergies, but I loved painting with oils so tried the water soluble ones. I love mine and I tried mixing water with them and they did not work with that at all. I use Linseed oil to mix with mine. I paint with Acrylics and water colours also but for a different type of painting. But for landscapes on canvas I use oils. Thank you for your review of the water soluble oils. God speed and keep painting.

I picked up a few of the Lukas Berlin from Jerry's recently because they were on sale and I was curious. Haven't tried them out yet. Good to know they're buttery.

After many years of using oils I started with water mixable colours and I am very happy since they make life much easier when you travel or in the fields. I have the recommended solvent which I hardly use because in my way of painting I use the colours straight from the tube . I use Georgian because they are the only one that make the small tubes with 20 ml all the others make only 37 ml. When one travels or in the fields one has a small paint box and the big tubes do not fit unless one uses the “ 3 colours” system. Did you find other makers which also make small tubes ? Thank you.

Hi Layne. I enjoy your videos. My experience with Water Mixable Oils has been very positive. And yes, I do mix with water and a medium, depending on the effect I'm after. Having also painted with Acrylics and Oils, I have found that , once again, they work great, depending on the effect I'm after. I have painted portraits. cityscapes, landscapes and seascapes with equal success in either of the 3 mediums. Traditional Oils are , of course, Traditional. Acrylics and Water Mixable Oils are more modern mediums. For me, it's more a matter of what effect I want in a painting as well as the amount of time I'm looking to put into the painting that decides which medium I use. All are equally good. My motto-- Just keep on painting. You get better each day.

I have used all media for years including water mixable oils, Max from Grumbacher. I found them convenient when traveling abroad, since it is difficult to get the right solvents and media in some places. And even if you can't/shouldn't drink the water you can use it to paint there, LOL ;D. And when painting in Europe say, you are usually not there to make a "masterpiece", but to gather information. The other choices being watercolor or acrylic or gouache, all good too for sketches on site at your destinations. My "gripe" with them and it may just be a band thing was they were weakish and lacked the vibrancy I'm use to with oils, which I use constantly now being a plein air and studio landscape painter here in the southwest (Tucson) where any water media dry quickly. As for mediums I use the solvent free gel from Gamlin, being used with traditional oils. For those of you "afraid of solvents", maybe oil painting is not for you, just like sky diving is not for me either, LOL :D. Thanks.

I couldn't agree with him more that they should be thought of as "water-cleanable" oils not "water mixable." I use the W&N Artisan "water mixable" oils in just the way he describes. I use W&N's mediums made specifically for that line, including low-odor thinner, linseed oil, and impasto. The only thing I use water for is cleaning the brushes and cleaning up my palette afterward. Because the W&N Artisan line is relatively limited in terms of specialty colors compared to its main Artists line, I have used a few regular oil paints along with the water-mixable paints, including mixing them and they work together just fine.

Don't like using solvents? Use mineral oil to clean your brushes and use a soft rag or paper towel to wipe them off. Never use soap and water on your brushes.

Wiping is really the best option. 👌

Ben is a one man operation. So it’s not “they make..”, it’s “he makes…”. I have 4 Alla Prima Pochade boxes of various sizes/configurations and my wife has one Ben worked with me to modify for her watercolor painting. Also have 3 of his panel carriers/storage boxes. He is a gret guy.
