Artisan Water Mixable Oils for Beginners

Oil paints can be an intimidating paint for beginners- but Winsor & Newton's Artisan Oils are great for those trying oils for the first time or painters who want to be more conscious of needing solvents and other mediums to clean up.

Winsor & Newton Artisan Oils are water-mixable and can be cleaned with soap and water. As regular oil paints require solvents for clean up and application, Artisan Oils are a great choice for those wanting to avoid these harsh chemicals, but still get the classic look of oil paints.

About the Workshop

This experiential painting project is inspired by the work of the French Fauve painter, Andre Derain. The Fauvist artists were a group of painters in the early 20th century whose name, literally translates to “wild beasts,” due to their use of unconventional colour. Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oils are solvent free and will be used to explore easy colour mixing and varied paint applications of differing fluidity with use of Artisan Water Mixable Mediums. This project is excellent for beginners, as well as anyone who would like to avoid solvents and gain knowledge in using Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colours.
