Water soluble oil offers greater convenience and increased accessibility. Especially to people with allergies, home studios, students, schools and those who have avoided oils because of the toxic solvents.
    Water soluble oils smell great, just like traditional oils!
    Linseed oil is contained in both new and traditional oils.
    Water soluble oils are real oils. They are water mixable, not water-based.
    The new oils were developed to be used with water in the place of turpentine, mineral spirits or other solvents!
    The vegetable drying oils have been restructured in water soluble oils which eliminate yellowing.
    Like traditional oils, water soluble oils must dry through oxidation - absorbing oxygen through the air. Once dry, they are just like any other Modern Oil Paintings and should be treated as such.
    Like traditional oils, water soluble Modern Oil Paintings cannot be reactivated with water when dry.
    New water-mixable mediums have been developed for water soluble oils: quick dry mediums (my favorite), stand oils, painting mediums and impasto mediums, linseed oils and alkyd mediums.
    Traditional Modern Oil Paintings and mediums can be added to the new oils in small amounts of up to 20%-30% and still retain water solubility. Small amounts of traditional oil color can be added to these new paints affect the color or consistency.
    The new pigments blend and mix extremely well.
    When the new oils are mixed with water, it may at times appear somewhat cloudy until the water evaporates. Although I have read this complaint, it has not been my experience with these oils.
    The fast drying mediums allow for plenty of time for blending but still make over-painting easier and faster.
    Luminous, transparent glazes can be made by using the water-mixable mediums. Rich, opaque darks are easy to achieve.
    Water-mixable linseed oil medium makes the new oil more transparent.
    A loaded brush of traditional oils spreads much farther than a brush loaded with water soluble oils. This does not affect the look of the finished piece, only the actual painting process.
    Water soluble paints produce fresh, bright, strong color. It is easier to avoid making 'muddy' color.
    The new oils are easier to clean up.
    Those with limited or no experience with traditional oils adjust to water soluble oils more quickly.
    Depending on how thick you paint, the water soluble oils retain their elasticity and workability for up to 48 hours.
    The new oils lack of the glossy appearance of traditional oils, but a final varnish is a quick way to replicate the luster of traditional oils.
