WATER
MIXABLE
OILS

SPRING 2024/
WATER-MIXABLE OILS

GENERAL INTRO:​

I will be adding to this page across the term as we use the water-mixable oils.

​

USEFUL LINKS:​

I have added a few useful links below to pages and videos of artists explaining their use of the water-based oils and how they use water and different mediums to effect the flow of the paint and drying time as well as fat over lean principles.

​

Useful information and tips for using water-mixable oils

​

A very helpful video on the idea of fat over lean and glazing.

​

A helpful booklet on water-mixable oil paints

​

Also have a look at the Jackson website generally for excellent advice on materials and techniques

COLOUR CHART FOR 37ML AND 200ML TUBES​

​

Also note there is information on each tube registering both the transparency of the paint and its lightfastness (susceptibility to change). 

Sketchbook example that shows the practical relevance of different transparency in paints. 

​

You could make your own version of this in order to really understand how this will inform your art.
