Water based oils - the most under-rated thing ever!

by JoJo Henry

I've recently bought a set of water soluble oil paints, due to the fact I now have a very nosy small boy, poking around with thinners and turps!
I can honestly say they are amazing, especially if mixed with some medium that enhances the luminosity and speeds up drying.

The only disadvantage to them is the fact that they seem to stay wet forever(contrary to what you may imagine with something water based)!

I found them very responsive, far more than alkyd colours, and the pigments seem to be more vibrant.
Give them a go! I'll never look back.
