Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks you, that is good to know. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Lol, glad you liked it. Thanks so much for watching.

Thanks for watching.

Thank you!

Thank you! I glad it was of some help. I always have trouble with those jars, lol.

Lol.

Glad to hear! I will be doing another water mixable oil painting in the new year. Happy painting.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

Okay, Thanks!

Yeah those caps are a pain! Gonna have to try your idea

With acrylics you have the luxury of fast drying paint so you're right you can paint dark to light ...but you can also paint light to dark for the same reason. Maybe it is because I came from water colours to acrylics. Thanks for watching.

I know!

Lol, thanks. I tried that...guess I just have weak hands. As my life coach I should let you know that I put some in another jar. Thanks for the chuckle.

I will have to try that, thanks!

I have nothing to compare them with, but others have said that different brands flow in different ways. Stick with it.

Thanks for the tip. Next time I'll try it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching.

I dip my brushes in the oil and wipe my brushes clean on paper towels, and then wash then with dawn dish soap to break down any remaining oil. It is suggested to keep used paper towels in a metal tin (old paint can works) with some water and Dawn dish soap. Keep until you have enough to dispose of at a household hazardous waste facility. The pigment in the oil jar sinks to the bottom so you are using clean oil each time you paint. When enough of it builds up and it turns to sludge I would save the clean oil and add the sludge part to the metal can. I hope that helps. Let me know if you find an easier solution.

What I heard is that as long as you pour it down the sink so that it gets into the grey water system, it’s fine, because that gets treated. Do not just pour it on the ground tho.

@@annafdd Not a good idea, not good for your pipes.

I know, right!

Thank you!

Lol, thanks!

Yup!

stinky is better)) it gives feeling in atmosphere same with the spray cans

@@DanilaAbramenkovArt Unfortunately I can't use the 'stinky' original oils that is why I am excited about the water mixable oils. What spray cans do you mean? I think I may try a solvent free gel to mix with the oils as well as the linseed oil. Have you used Gamblin solvent free gel?

@@LaurasArtBasement spray cans for the street art but they aren't good for lungs.. So better cover face. I didn't tried I'm using combination of oil thinner (white spirit) it called and oil.. It is a consistency in one bottle made for mixing oils

But was thinking of a solvent gel also

Apparently my hands just are not strong enough because I tried that, lol. My husband got it opened but it took him a couple of tries. Glad to know we weren't the only ones who struggled!

@@LaurasArtBasementI struggled too 🤷🏻‍♂️

I tried that! It worked on all the ten or so previous identical W&N bottles. Then came the one that just would not budge. I knew the push and turn manouevre, I do it all the time. This time it just didn’t work.

I watched a different artist on this subject and she said a little water mixed with the paint 🎨 for the 1st layer only and that there are mediums for this and that but after that initial layer she mainly used the quick drying medium.

@@tinkerno11 yes I’ve seen others suggest that but using anything containing water on a canvas or gesso’d surface can lead to pour results as it gets absorbed into the surface which is not what you want. Cleanup is great with these though…, and no fumes or oder.

I'm trying to learn about these WMO paints too. I read someone suggested doing the initial toned underpainting using acrylic paint thinned with water that has been treated with Flow-Aid. (Or I wonder if the underpainting could be done using acrylic paint diluted with airbrush medium like I saw in another video.) Then they said that once the underpainting done with thinned acrylic paint dries you then begin using these water-mixable oil paints for the rest of the painting.

@@fred20247 Daniel Smith Company says differently. It has to do with the % of water used. There’s might use a different emulsifying formula.

I’m just starting to use W&N Artisan oils, so I’m by no means an expert. That said, there is a massive amount of bad information out there. As Fred pointed out, “never thin with water”. Only use water-missable mediums. W&N has a large number of Artisan mediums specifically made for their Artisan oil paints. Generally, learning to use the water-soluble paints is like any other skill - especially painting. A lot of other skills, like getting composition right, still apply. But many techniques, materials, and tools are different. It’s a learning path. Keep it up, and learn from successes and failures.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the info!!

I plan on it. I already have the oil in a jar I can open, lol. Thanks.

@@LaurasArtBasement 😄😄👍

Sorry you did not like water mixable oils. I am still getting use to the oils. Using the linseed oil made the paints more enjoyable for me. I still have to learn more about using these paints to really enjoy them. Good on you for trying something new and different!

So true. I got my husband to open it and transfered some into another jar, lol.

@@LaurasArtBasement Hi I had the same problem with a W&N jar. Took it back to the store and they couldn't open it either. Gave me another one but I had to use pliers to open it. The pliers are called slip joint or tongue and groove. Pax

Absolutely.

@LaurasArtBasement ... I know, because they happen to me all the time...lol
