Opinions among artists may vary, but I believe that water mixable oils have their own unique qualities that make them perfectly suitable alongside traditional oils. Watch this video to see for yourself how water mixable oils perform in the hands of an impressionist painter, and make your own informed decision about their place in your artistic practice.

Thank you Malcolm for this lovely colorful impressionistic painting demo. Great tips for using water mixable oil paints.

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

You are very welcome

@terrierose5917 6 месяцев назад

I took a class years ago, where the teacher insisted on water mixable oils because of toxic turps. They have been sitting in a drawer for years because of lack of knowledge about them. Now I know more about their use, I will definitely use them.

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

Excellent!

@user-ib7mp3vp6h 6 месяцев назад

Great demo Malcolm. Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed using my favourite paints. I think your Impressionistic style, thick paint shows them off well. Sometimes I'm thinking: when is he going to stop?! Lol. End result always looks good though. 👍 🎉

@Sheena268 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for that lovely demonstration Malcolm. What a great idea to use these oils when travelling! They certainly look nice and buttery! 😘

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

Many thanks, yes, handy to have these for travel.

I use the Cobra WMO by Royal Talens in the Netherlands; they are affordable and are artist quality. I use water for my underpainting/blocking. I seldom use a medium, but when I do, Cobra has its Paint Paste which is a gel that is exactly the same ingredients as their paint minus the pigment. They use the same amount of pigment as their Rembrandt oil paints, with which I know you are familiar. I have been using these paints for an almost a year after first starting with Winsor & Newton WMO which are student grade and which I found lacking in both pigment and creaminess.

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

Yes, a big fan of Rembrandt so the Cobra is a must for me if I need WM options.

@yelenafurer541 6 месяцев назад

I liked the addition of the cows as my problem with still life and country scenes is that they lack life. 😅

Yes, they do help a scene.

@dianehocker4365 6 месяцев назад

I'm using Walnut Oil as a medium (Leonardo daVinci apparently used this) and safflower oil for cleaning brushes since my studio is small and windowless.

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

That will work fine. Do you do a final clean with soap?

@JudyPerez-gl6tr 19 дней назад

I always end up. Watching your videos. Thank you

@MalcolmDewey 19 дней назад

@vesnabreskvar9082 6 месяцев назад

I have seen many of your wonderful video demonstrations and every time i really enjoy watching the magic you create with that big brush (including cows😄) The result is amazing!

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much 😀 The cows are very loose 😄

@yeshuaiscomingbackrepent2357 6 месяцев назад

I use Windsor Newton w/s oils...I do not like the texture of the w/s but the colors are nice. I have never thought to add oil to them, doesn't that make them just like regular oils? Your painting is beautiful.

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

If the paint needs softening up then linseed oil is the answer for me. Yes that may make that paint repel water if I need to wash the brush in water, but that is never the case during a painting project. I can dissolve muddy paint with a little linseed oil and wipe the brush clean in as much time as it takes with water. Then carry on painting. WM oils are made with linseed oil and pigment. It is the processing that makes it water mixable. A technical term that I forget. Cleaning up at then end remains the same - soap and water.

@howardripley4627 6 месяцев назад

Thank you Malcolm, very interesting medium and it look like it mixes very smoothly and it doesn’t get muddy!! I will have to try it out next!!

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

Enjoy!

@kiritsi100 6 месяцев назад

Great demo and painting Malcolm. Curious if you've ever tried alkyd oils? I've used them in the past and did enjoy them. Although they do have a little bit stiffer quality, and have a stronger odor. But if used outdoors, it's less of an issue. I like that they dry by the next day. So for traveling it's much easier to transport. Would be great if there was a faster drying water soluble oil paint.

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

I have not tried them, although I know they are popular with plein air painters who need the quick drying paints. I imagine it is a learning curve if you are used to wet into wet painting. A bit like oils with an acrylic quick dry quality?

@dulcieogilvie5786 6 месяцев назад

I didn’t know you could use linseed oil with water soluble!!!

@liezelhaupt7172 6 месяцев назад

Awesome painting! Thank you for all the tips too. I always wondered about water soluble oils. Now I want them😅

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

@janinem3280 6 месяцев назад

Good morning, Malcolm. What is the finish of water-mixables when dry?

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

Hard to see any difference. Of course once varnished there is no issue.

Hi Malcolm, I enjoyed watching this painting, what paper do you prefer for water mixable oils?

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

Arches paper for oils is the best I think. Costs a bit though. In this one I am using Fabriano paper for oils. Less cost, but not as good.

@dulcieogilvie5786 6 месяцев назад

Question. Do the water mixable take long to dry??

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

Not at all

@moni7361 6 месяцев назад

Hi Malcolm, Do you even need WMOs? You can use normal oil paint and add linseed oil if necessary?

@MalcolmDewey 6 месяцев назад

Correct, I have been saying that for a while because there are non-toxic options for everything these days.

@curlew-3592 6 месяцев назад

Lovely Thankyou.😁

@dulcieogilvie5786 6 месяцев назад

Interesting. I don’t like the solvents but do like oils very much….I think the solvents affect me health-wise…i.e allergy stuff….so I will buy me some water soluble sand then I can relax in my studio (spare bedroom LOL😂)

@Alexandra-ks7cb 6 месяцев назад

I don't use solvents but I use regular oils. I mix with a palette knife. Wipe with paper towel between volor change. I just use regular acrylic brushes and wash wish clear dish soap after a session. Alla prima lends itself well to this "method"
