Winsor & Newton, Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour, Beginners Set, 6x37ml Tube Set

Gorgeous paints. Easy to blend to make a nice range of colours. Lovely finish. No smell so lovely alternative to traditional oils which require turps/ spirits.Not sure that water is enough to clean brushes but it is enough to paint. Very nice quality. Not cheap but you can't get quality otherwise. They last ages.

Great

I thought I'd give these a try as I've used most other media before, including oil paints (oil based) acrylics and water colours. Good range of starter colours apart from no black, as someone else has pointed out. But the minute I took the top off - the smell! I hate the smell of turps, which is why I thought these would be good, but I prefer that to the smell of these. I have so far tried the Titanium White and the Ultramarine. They mix nicely, and water is fine to thin them with. They cover the canvas board (already primed) well too, although the colours are deeper in the oil based oil paint ranges. I am waiting for this background colour to dry before painting the subject portrait ( my dog). Real shame about the odour from the paint though, and it continues until it looks (but isn't) dry. Right, I've now begun the portrait. These paints, and in particular the Titanium White, take a lot of paint for the same effect as oil based oil colours. The colours are good, and they mix together well. I haven't tried mixing them with oil based oil colours. Using these for a 2nd time, the odour is minimal. I like the effect but suspect they are more suited to people who like the "dollopy" effect of oils, or layers of the paint, rather than a single layer. I'm getting good results with using more paint than I normally would.

I am a student studying Fine art at ALevel and these paints are perfect. As the are water mixable the clean very easily and don't tend to stain my clothes(wash it out before it dries). the longest ive had to wait for it to dry has been 3 days which allows enough time to develope the gones in my paintings. These paints are perfect for students as they are a good level up from acrylics. And, like acrylics, they create successfull washes. I do however wish the selection would include prussian blue instead of paynes grey; it creates more depth with darker tones.

I have been using normal oil paints for years and decided to give these a go. They are a real joy to use, the colours are vibrant, and easy to apply. I used the water based mediums rather than water. Your brushes don’t get ruined and it’s great to just wash everything in water. Highly recommend to any artist. This set has all the colours you need but I did order burnt sienna separately.

I hate using them because I don’t want to run out- smooth and versatile. Good coverage. So much easier than oil but lovely dramatic effect of normal oil paints

Water Mixable oils dry faster than ordinary oils which means I can get my masterpeices home from art class without too much damage to the car! Artisan colours are lovely and from my point of view are less transparent than others. Titanium white in particular goes on the canvas as a true white - very good for highlighting.

I don't really do oils, but my husband does, but I do water colours and so far I have treated these much like water colours, I am enjoying learning something new, I think the colours in the pack are great as they all mix to make every other colour. Though an extra large white would be great.

Bon kit de départ pour l'huile solube a l'eau les couleur son belle.

Tienen variedad de colores y sirven excelente

I’ve been a painter for a long time, but always very intimidated by oil paints. My favorite artist said she used these, so I immediately purchased to try them out! OBSESSED. The colors are so rich and opaque. They mix well and go on smoothly and thick if you’d like. Doesn’t take nearly as long to dry as regular oils, and there’s no odor! I love being able to blend on the canvas, it makes painting skin especially so much smoother and realistic.

W and N standard high pigmented and well refined paint. This Company is extra reputable. Thank you.
