WATER-MIXABLE Oils vs. TRADITIONAL Oil Paints: A Guide

Video Description

I have never really seen a comprehensive comparison between water mixable oils and traditional oil paints, so I decided to try to make one! I started out with water-mixable oils on my oil painting journey and still use them today. I feel like they are less intimidating and generally easier to start with, but there’s a lot of debates regarding durability out there, so I wanted to clarify some things for those wanting to get started with either water-mixable oils or traditional oil paints. In this video, I go over the composition, brands, toxicity, mediums & solvents, drying time, durability and cleanup. I also included the painting process for both of the paints, so you can see them in action and compare the performance. Let me know if there’s something I missed or if you have any questions! ☺️ 00:00 Intro 00:36 Composition 01:26 Brands 03:34 Toxicity 06:05 Mediums & Solvents 08:39 Drying Time 09:41 Durability 11:17 Cleanup 12:26 Performance: Painting Demos 16:55 Outro
