There is no water within the formulation of Artisan. The linseed oil and safflower oil vehicles have been modified to allow the colour to accept water, creating a stable emulsion, while retaining the working characteristics of conventional oil colour.Artisan is ideal for:-

Oil painters who are sensitive to, or simply want to avoid exposure to solvents such as white spirit (mineral spirits) or turpentine.

Students and teachers in schools and colleges where the use of oil colour is prohibited because of the solvents.

Artists working in shared studio space where the build up of solvent levels could lead to a harmful concentration of vapours and a generally an unpleasant odour.

Artists who work within a small home environment and wish to reduce the odour of oil painting.

For travel, all Artisan products (Colour & Mediums) can be transported on aeroplanes (subject to the agreement of the airline).

The range has also been formulated with a high proportion of single pigments for brilliance of colour and clean colour mixing. The most suitable oil and methods for dispersion have been selected to bring out the individual characteristics, from opacity to natural transparency, of each pigment in the Artisan range.

Duo has taken all the handling qualities and the buttery feel of Holbein Artist Oil Colour and made it safer and easier to use. Duo eliminates the odour of solvents in the studio by allowing you to clean brushes, palette, and workspace with soap and water. Because of it's versatility, the possibilities for special techniques and effects using Duo are limited only by one’s imagination.

Daniel Smith Water Soluble Oil Paints are made from a range of vibrant, finely-gound pigments and a modified linseed oil binder which is water soluble. They therefore have the appearance and the working qualities of normal oil paints, but can be thinned or cleaned up with water.This is a 37ml tube of Burnt Sienna (PBr 7 - Series 1).Lightfastness: I - ExcellentTransparency: Semi-Transparent

Some Artisan colours, whites and other pale colours contain Safflower Oil instead of or in addition to Linseed Oil. As it is a paler yellow, the paler pigments maintain their brightness. If painting a lot with pale colours, you may choose to use Artisan Water Mixable Safflower Oil instead of Linseed to reduce their consistency. It also increases gloss and transparency. Safflower Oil is slow drying and should not be used under faster drying layers, e.g. Fast Drying Medium, umbers etc.

Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour has a specific Thinner for the range. The purpose of Artisan is to be able to avoid the use of hazardous solvents. Although water is suitable as a diluent for the colour, it's speedy evaporation can make the colour thicken upon the palette much quicker than conventional oil colour would when used with turpentine. To help with this we have developed a Thinner to dilute Artisan colours. This can be used instead of water or combined with it. It also provides a more oily consistency which is preferred by some painters and as it does not form an emulsion wth the colour there is less colour change than there would be when using water. Thinner can be combined with Artisan oils to make your own mediums. To ensure that you avoid over thinning the colour, Thinners should be combined with any Artisan medium for very dilute uses.

A short flat head. Creates sharp edges with control.A stiff flat brush giving control and movement of large amounts of colour.Artisan brushes have been specifically designed to have the performance characteristics of hog bristle yet maintain their spring and shape when in contact with water, particularly during long painting sessions with water mixable oil colours. Developed with a unique blend of high quality synthetic fibres, the brushes are strong and durable and are perfect for working with thick, full bodied colour straight from the tube.What is Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour?Artisan is a genuine oil colour made from modified linseed oil and modified safflower oil. It performs just like conventional oil colour but can be thinned and cleaned up with water, eliminating the need for hazardous solvents.What are the benefits of an Artisan Brush?Natural hog bristle is not ideally suited for water mixable oil colour because when soaked in water, the bristle loses shape and its spring becomes weak. As a result controlling the paint becomes more difficult.On the other hand, synthetic brush ranges are not ideally suited for use with oil colour. This is because they are generally developed for acrylics and the blend of filament can be too soft and too flexible for use with full bodied colour straight from the tube.This is why Artisan brushes provide the perfect balance for this special type of oil colour. They are able to maintain strength, a fine point, excellent spring and durability use after use with water.And best of all Artisan brushes (with Artisan colour) can be cleaned with soap and water only - No solvents required.Specifications..
