Daniel Smith Water-Soluble Oil Color

If you love the creamy feel and rich appearance of classic oil paints, but don't like toxic solvents or tedious cleanup, try Daniel Smith Water-Soluble Oils. These vibrant paints are packed with the same premium pigments as Daniel Smith Original Oils, but use a special modified linseed oil binder that cleans up with ordinary water. Made by hand in Seattle, Washington, they have the most finely ground pigments of any water-soluble color line.

Daniel Smith Water-Soluble Oil Colors look identical to their traditional counterparts and offer excellent brushability, a beautiful surface sheen, and uniform drying times. Their color strength is outstanding, even when mixed with Titanium White. For thinning, use water or Daniel Smith Water-Soluble Linseed Oil (or another brand of modified linseed oil). Please note that when you use water, the resulting surface sheen will have a slightly more matte appearance.

Daniel Smith Water-Soluble Oil Colors are ideal for the following artists:

• Former oil painters who have had to quit because they could no longer tolerate toxic solvents
• Painters who share a studio or work in a poorly ventilated space
• Those with small children or pets in the studio
• Field painters who would enjoy the convenience of cleaning up with water
• Artists who are traveling and would rather not transport combustible solvents
