You must have been chuffed as mintballs :)<br><br>I have never tried water soluble oil paints, kind of nervous about it. Can I use them with my regular oil paints or would I have to use them in the same way as acrylics (use them first and then oil on top).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692775977970132083.post-77613977069758076432008-12-25T03:23:00.000-08:002008-12-25T03:23:00.000-08:00JafaBrit,Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you...JafaBrit,<br><br>Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you.<br><br>Your question about oil and the new water soluble oil was a good one. Sean Dye, my WSO instructor,<br>devoted most of chapter one in his book, "Painting with Water Soluble Oils" to that very subject. <br>Really too much information to put in an e-mail. However, like all things man made, there is a way <br>to mix the two. The problem is the oils used in oil paint aren't the sames as that used in WSO. <br>So mixing the two often results in screwing up the very benefits that WSO offers in the first<br>place, like no smells, easy water wash up and so on. Most of the mediums used for hundreds of years <br>in regular oil paints doesn't work well with WSO. I'd say, that using layers of either paint (like you mentioned when using acrylics and then WSO) would not keep them from binding together. It is when they are both still wet, that the problems <br>occur. I hope that answers your questions. I would recommend getting your hands on Sean's book for a great overall explanation of many such questions you might have. It should be in your library or you are welcome to drop by my studio here in North Carolina for a peek.<br><br>L8ter,<br><br>JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
