This is an old video and at the time most everyone was mixing water into their WMO’s. Now companies have recommended water mixable oil mediums for paint and use water for cleaning. I use Murphy’s oil soap and water to clean my brushes, and now use mediums to mix into my paint. Usually beginning with fast drying medium and later a fatter medium or oil.
Absolutely love your poppy painting
Sharon you are so talented and gifted that you are able be an artist in so many crafts. So sorry you are not feeling well today , I wish you well. Allways grateful that you do these videos for us and allways looking forward to your next one. God bless.
Speaking about oil color and problems come by using traditional solvents (as turpintine, spirit etc.), have you never tried vegetable solvents? No bad smeal,
no pollution, no bad effects on the skin, very effective. I strongly suggest it to everyone whants preserve light of traditional oil color without collateral effects.
Lots of great information, Sharon! I've never tried oils because they seem like so much more trouble than watercolors. All those solvents and messy things always discouraged me. However, I just might give the water mixable ones a try one of these days. Thanks for explaining it so well.
Good painting imformation.
Love your video! I bought some Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Paint box sets from Hobby Lobby, their Artisan thinner, and one Artisan Painting Medium. I read the pages on the Winsor & Newton pages on their Artisan Water Mixable Oil Paints, Thinners, and Mediums. There they make it clear that for a satisfying painting experience, one should use their Artisan thinner, mediums, and oils; water is generally reserved for clean-up. Avoiding thinning paints with water keeps the pigments from separating and using their thinner, mediums, and oils makes the Artisan Water Mixable Oil Paints feel oilier, smoother, as opposed to draggy and sticky. So I'm going to take their advice. Hope this works out.
Yes, they're trying to sell mediums but there's more to it than that. Reading from artists who successfully use Artisan and like it, it seems to me that the ones happiest with these paints and their mediums generally use water for cleanup or plein air only, or perhaps in the imprimatura staining layer. They paint using minimal amounts of Artisan mediums, both only as much as necessary to get the job done and to keep in practice with the oil painting rules. They may use mixtures of Artisan mediums for several reasons -- it helps them in observing the painting rules, lends the properties of the mediums, makes their paints feel more like traditional oil paints, and allows them to adapt the paints to a variety painting methods. And yes, Artisan paints are student grade paints because of the hues, etc. I had so many questions, so here are my notes that will help me get started. I had to do a lot of digging to bring it all together and I'll still workin on it. karenascofield.wordpress.com/2017/08/20/windor-newton-artisan-water-mixable-mediums-and-drying-time-fat-over-lean-rule/
I'm planning to use WS Artisan mediums during indirect painting, underpaintings, Imprimatura, glaze layers and all that. But I'll keep what you said in mind for alla prima.
Thank you for your reassuring comment. Soon after I wrote my comment above, I lost my house and all things in it to a house fire, art studio room included. I only just finished dealing with putting my life back together and started going into my new art studio in the last few days. I did replace my water mixable oils and paint brushes. Synchronicity.
Thanks for all the info. It will be fun to watch and read how it goes for everyone. I have to stick with the watercolors but have used them on canvas and that was fun too. Take care and we'll be watching....
Thanks so much love your poppy picture great work and your forest work
I look forward to your painting Sharon if it's a good day for you and I hope it is.
🙋🇬🇧😊
I love those mdf boards they are just so darned heavy to hang on just some random wall without nailing into a stud. That said, they are GREAT to paint on with oils and acrylic. The poppies painting is awesome! The dune panels are nice. LOL as painters we accumulate so many brushes. Regular oil based good paint, is like soft butter and you can add additives to make them peak and stiffen or the reverse thin with a good walnut oil or turpentine. Lean to fat. turp dries it out and oils dry longer. A la prima yes! I had to give up oil painting because I was raising my son, can't wait to get back to them. Maybe plein air this year, I have a french easel!? I don't know, you're inspiring me! :) I've use fast drying medium and it made my paints crack so be careful and maybe do a test mini painting first, lean to fat. Man I went through my old oil stuff and some is still viable! 10 years! How is it people are doing thumbs down on your videos??? Honestly! This is very correct and informative!
Malamik Art you can get thinner ones
Still good content that is slightly dated, but still so pertinent! How many videos are still so good after almost 3 years! Thank you for being so friendly and competent! Have a lovely day!
Thank you.
Very informative Sharon !!! LOOOOVE your paintings you have showed !!! Sooo beautiful !!! You got to hang that Poppies painting behind you, would make awesome background...such brightness and happiness of color !!! 💓💓💓
OMG I wrote and then look again and see poppies behind you...LOL...switch them with the other painting cause it's hiding...LOL...
Fascinating stuff - the water mixable/miscible oils look like the answer for anyone who is allergic to traditional solvents (or who simply doesn't like messing with oily solvents). Looking forward to seeing the upcoming painting.
My Conda painting knife set arrived today and I'm hoping to give them a go soon. I have acrylic paints rather than oils but I assume they'd be a reasonable decent alternative to the oils if I was thinking of trying to follow along with your oil paining (making allowances for the shorter drying time, of course)?
Postie also delivered that set of Royal Langnickel gouche paints that you recommended recently so, wife and dog permitting, I have plenty to keep me busy over the next few days, weeks, months - maybe I'll have a go at painting those 5 beers of yours? Hehe ;-)
Anyway, as always, thanks again for taking the time and trouble to produce all this superb material for us all. Best wishes, Brian.
I use walnut oil for a medium.
Thanks so much for this video! I bought that set of Lucas water mixable oils after watching thefrugralcrafter's tutorial using them, but I have been really afraid to use them (watercolor is so much easier)! I also bought a pad of Paramount double primed 100% cotton canvas paper as a substrate to try with these paints since it was so much cheaper than buying an equivalent number of canvases .
This a great video very informative as well as educational, thank you so much for doing this. Hope you are doing well.
It wasn't me but I did get a jar of the wax to keep the watercolor from rubbing off in journal pages, it works great.
Great information. I am just learning to paint and thought I'd try water mixable oils. I painted a very large painting on stretched canvas but now would like to paint over it. Can I Gesso over it and paint something new? If so, what kind of Gesso should I use? If not Gesso then what should I use to be able to reuse the huge canvas again for another try with water mixable oils? Any information would be appreciated.
Great question! I would not recommend it unless it is just for practice. My understanding is that you either need to remove the old paint with turpentine or thinner, outside of course then wipe off old paint. Or the other option is to carefully power sand the surface but you may run the risk of tearing your canvas. I would just purchase a new canvas, especially if it is reframed. The more expensive linen might be worth the trouble.
@@SharonCullenArt Oh O.K. Thank you so much for replying. I have asked a couple others who have videos about water mixable oils but no one has returned my question. I will now check out more of your videos. Thank you again!!!
Artists and Craftsman’s Supply carries Holbein Duo and have great online deals! Holbein Duo also has “hues” such as viridian green hue and cobalt blue hue that are exceptional quality and lots cheaper. I love my Holbein Duo paints!
Karen Kernell yes they have nice water miscible paints. I discovered Lukas water miscible and they are soft and buttery. I actually like them better. There are some that I like of other brands like white etc. at the time I made this video a few years ago, there weren’t many options. I think there were 3 brands and Holbein was the best of the 3. It has changed a lot since then. I’m sorry. This video is so old, I’m not sure what your comment was in reference to.🤪 I’d have to go back and watch. But I appreciate the comment.😉
I have never heard of that art store
I always wonder what it means when they add the word Hue to a color.
Everytime I use any kind of oil paint, I get allergic reactions. Itchy all over my body and in my mouth. hate it.
Thanks for the info.. question.... do you "prep" / or seal the back of the MDF panels, if so, with what and how ?
Yes. I roch them up with and paper. I use the font and then apply a couple layers of gesso. That is it
@@SharonCullenArt , thanks but I'm not sure as what you're saying. "...roch them up with and paper." Not sure what that means...?
I think it's just typos. Rough up and sand paper.
Thanks for your video. I just bought a crap ton of Winsor Newton water mixable paint and it's so hard to work with. I wasn't sure if it was me or the paint until you brought it up. I don't think I can take them back to Hobby Lobby. Any suggestions? I did buy the Artisan thinner, medium and linseed oil if that will help. I was just dismayed that it doesn't spread very well especially when watching a ton of YT videos and wondering why I wasn't getting the same results. They are gorgeous colors which makes it that much more disappointing.
Thanks for the reply. I've decided to keep them as it looks like they work fine except for a couple of tubes. I just need to learn how to use the paint as I'm coming from watercolor. Worst case scenario is I donate them to the high school art department if I get too frustrated. I hate that sports get the most money and the arts suffer. Now I just need better brushes.
Bethany Frerichs With the Winsor and Newton, each colour varies. I find the lemon yellow is particularly thick. I use linseed oil as a thiner, which works well. You will also find that different colours dry at different speeds.

I should have explained, it only rubs off if I have used w.c. Crayons or pencils to touch up and I didn't get water on all the spots and I just like the wax on some dark colors. I don't use it very often. I'm just one of those that likes to try everything. Night.
Saddened to read that "water soluble oil pastels will rub off in mixed media! In addition to falling for the Lucas WMO's I also purchased the Mungyo extra soft water soluble oil pastels. Can I assume they won't rub off as long as I use them with the WMO paints? I am a total newbie to all this stuff.
Hi , can you use impasto that is for acrylics with water mixable oils too ?
Thank you for your prompt reply Sharon. I bought a tub of Montmarte impasto create texture, it says to mix with acrylic paint to create exaggerated texture, there is little colour change to original paint colour upon drying. Suitable for application on a wide variety of supports, clean up with water. Can this be used with water mixable oil paints ? Or have I wasted my money on it , cost me $22.50 Australian dollars.
With water mixable oils you should be using senthetic bristle brushes because the hogs bristle brushes do not do well with water and are not made to be used with water. Love Terri Simmers.
Actually they can be used. People who leave their brushes sitting in liquid will get bloating over time. They are actually used a lot in acrylic painting as well as watercolor although I find them very stiff for watercolor. I do use my Chinese hog bristle brushes for watercolor occasionally. I don’t remember this video very well since it is an old video, but over the last 2 years or so, I began wiping my brushes a lot more and leave the water for cleaning which is just fine. Whoever taught you this probably had trouble because they soaked their hog brushes. And I never let my brushes sit in a cup of water.
I think I'll stick with watercolor!
I've been using and teaching with W&N Artisan for years. Love the texture and the versatility. Hate Lucas, they are too oily. If you have mixes that you want to keep and reuse, they can be put in the freezer to keep them fresh.
I don't do instagram and am just getting back into painting after a 10 year quilting stint. I miss painting so I'm in the process of digging everything back out and trying to make my space work with both the quilting and the painting. I am interested in combining the two so I am planning on using some inktense and seeing what I can come up with.
Disagree with fat over lean ...I've glazed thin layers of paint over thicker layers and I have never seen cracking ... never ! Instead of using all those mediums, just use water. That is the advantage of using these paints.
I have paintings that are on canvas, wood and mdf that are at least 16 years old, possibly older, using the Artisan WMO and there has been no change to the texture (no cracking) or colour of these paintings. You can also speed dry the layers using Krylon matte spray and work immediately on the next layer of glazing without disturbing the layer underneath. Take a look at Ann Kingslan, www.kingslan.com/. She and her daughter have been using the Artisan paints and using these techniques for years.
Actually fat over lean is true just for traditional oil colors in which pigment is driven by oil. In this case, water mixable oil colors, oil is substitued by other chemicals which are water sensitive. The term oil is used just to underline effect looks like oil color.
@@milafo Absolutely 100% not true. WMOs use actual oil that has been altered by adding an emulsifier, enabling it too loosely bind with water as a solution.
@@maximilianredlefs2210 The main feature doesn't change, the rule fat over lean is valid only with traditional oil colors
Cobra is not very expensive. There are much much more expensive regular oils that will cost $100 a tube for certain colours.
Trying to listen but all I want to do is take a pair of scissors and snip that piece of hair off that you keep fixing.
Oh my God! Really? You have to comment on that? First of all, I bumped it once and fixed it maybe 3 times. I don't have hair and makeup and a camera crew for God's sake. 🎬 Get over it or close your eyes or stop watching. These kinds of comments are ridiculous. I think you need to get a life. As a human on RUclips I can't make everyone happy. Some call me fat and ugly, some call me pretty, some like my voice some don't, some like my hair, you hate my hair. Do you think I care? No not really. So London59 maybe you should think about what you're comments might do to people. Because we were people and I highly doubt that if you were too connect with me on the street that you would say what your fingers just said to me.🤔
@@SharonCullenArt I didn't say I hate your hair or you. All you had to do was put your hair behind your ear. You've got a lot of stuff bottled up, it seems.
No really I don't. This channel is about art not about how I look. And to comment on it is just rude. There was nothing positive in your comment "all I want to do is take a pair of scissors and ship that piece of hair off..." and if you must know with glasses and a borderline length of hair it wouldn't have stayed behind my ear and then I would have been playing with it. But really, how come no one ever comments on the looks of male artist channels huh? Women are the worst. And you attack other women. This comment was not meant to be positive. Most mature people would have let it go if it bothered them. In fact they did. Did you notice you were the only one to say anything? This is not a hair and beauty channel. All I ask is that you stop the keyboard vomit that you post to others. I'm sure I'm not the first to receive one from you. Usually people who do this do it everywhere they go. And I won't tolerate it here. This crap is pathetic!
My time loss
People are all looking for something different. Because my video wasn’t what you were looking for, an adult would just move on. But your childish comment is just that. It says loads about you as a person.
