Manufacturer	Winsor & Newton
Model Number	0094376895872

Artisan water mixable oil is a range of oil paints that are water soluble and compatible with other paints. The linseed oil and safflower oil vehicles have been modified to allow the colour to accept water, creating a stable emulsion, while retaining the working characteristics of conventional oil colour. 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. It is also suitable for students and teachers in schools and colleges where the use of oil colour 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 vapours and a generally an unpleasant odour can also use Artisan. Artists who work within a small home environment and wish to reduce the odour of oil painting can also use Artisan.
