Winsor & Newton : Artisan Water Mixable Oil Color : 37ml : Viridian Hue

There is no water within the formulation of Winsor & Newton Artisan Water-mixable Oils. The linseed oil and safflower oil vehicles have been modified to allow the color to accept water, creating a stable emulsion, while retaining the working characteristics of conventional oil color.

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 color 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 vapors and a generally an unpleasant odor.
• Artists who work within a small home environment and wish to reduce the odor of oil painting.
• For travel, all Artisan products (Color & 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 color and clean color 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.
