For many years, I have been enjoying the benefits of solvent free oil painting.

I often get asked technical questions on how to use these solvent-free oils – also known as ‘water mixable’ or ‘water soluble’ oil paints. Recently, I received a question on my Fine Art Tips Facebook Page about glazing tips. In this video below, Cobra demonstrates how to properly use their glazing medium. I hope it helps! 

For those of you who have tried oil painting, I think you will find water-mixable oils less intimidating to use than traditional oils. They deliver beautiful results, and once dry should be treated just like any other traditional oil painting. Plus in using them, I enjoy the fact that I am becoming an eco friendly artist!

I have written a helpful post about water soluble oils to help answer your questions. Water-Mixable Oils: Facts, Tips & Why I Use Them. 

After testing the different brands, I believe Cobra Water Mixable Oil Color by Royal Talens offers the highest quality and variety of pigments, and they have developed some helpful mediums to enhance your oil paintings.
