How Water-Soluble Oils Differ from Traditional Oil Paints
Based in Kentucky, Peter Gregor, MD, provides cardiovascular care to patients. Outside of his work, Peter Gregor, MD, is a painter. He began painting with watercolors but now uses water-soluble oil paints.
Many people like the idea of painting with oils, but traditional oil paint can be intimidating or difficult to use. For this reason, many painters who are new to oil paints prefer water-soluble oils.
Water-soluble oil paints are mixable with water, which means painters can clean their brushes with water instead of harsh solvents. This makes water-soluble oils much more portable and easy to use.
Water-soluble oil paints can even be diluted with water. When diluted thinly, water-soluble paints dry within five to 10 minutes. When used straight from the tube, the paints usually take one to three days to dry. However, water-soluble oils do not reactivate when water is added after they have dried.
