FAQs about Water-Mixable Oil Paint Supplies
What Are Water-Mixable Oil Paints?
Water-mixable Oil Paints are designed to work just like your standard oil paints, but without the need for solvents or other harsh chemicals.
Water mixable oils are genuine oil paints made with an oil that dries well. However, unlike a traditional oil paint, this drying oil base has been build so that it works well when mixed together with water.
The way it works is that a special additive is combined with the oil, which works as an emulsifier helping the oil blend well with the water.
Can You Mix Water-Mixable Oil Paint With Acrylic?
It is possible to mix water-mixable oil paints with traditional oils and some acrylic paints, however you cannot use just any acrylic paint with this type of paint, so make sure to research the paints you plan on using. 25% acrylic or below is also a recommended ratio for mixing with water-mixable oil paints.

What is Water Mixable Oil Paint made of?
Water mixable oil paint is made with finely ground pigments suspended in water. This gives it a vibrant colour and delicate texture that is unlike any other type of paint. Water mixable oil paint is also made with a variety of different binders and mediums, which give it its unique properties.
One of the most popular binders used in water-mixable oil paint is linseed oil. This natural oil gives the paint a smooth, creamy consistency and helps it to dry quickly.
Another common binder used in water-mixable oil paint is standing oil. This synthetic oil gives the paint a glossy finish and helps to create rich, lustrous colours.
Water mixable oil paint is also made with a variety of different mediums. Mediums are added to the paint to change its properties. For example, adding a drying medium will make the paint dry more quickly while adding a flow medium will make the paint flow more easily.
No matter what ingredients are used, water-mixable oil paint is a truly unique type of paint. It has a wide range of uses and can be used to create a variety of different effects. So why not give it a try? You might be surprised at what you can create!
