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! ☺️
