Awesome creamy Oil color. Love it!

Water mixable oils have come a LONG way since I first started using them over 25 years ago. Back then, I was not pleased with the fact that I couldn't get rich darks like I could with regular oils. Acrylics just dried way too fast to create the layers I wanted to use in my paintings. Now being a mom of four and needing to paint indoors and not in the studio setting I was used to (i.e. good cross ventilation when using regular oils but inside a home) I decided to try these again after getting frustrated with acrylics. I have not been disappointed. These work just like regular oils, without the turpentine, and they have a good drying time for me, not five minutes later like acrylics, and I am producing nice DARK colors to create the light and shade effects .For those who like the layering and translucent effects of painting with oils, these will work, without the need to have cross ventilation, although an open window would be needed if the smell of oil paint is unpleasant for you. Over all, very pleased.Along with a cup of water to quickly wash brushes before changing colors, I have a smaller cup filled with a bit of dish soap to extra clean the brush and it works wonderful. I then dip it back into the water cup, and voila! NO MORE TURPS! Happy Painting!

I generally use Lukas Berlin water-mixable oil paints but am alway game to try different brands. While these paints aren't sheer, they do provide good color saturation. The box comes with a decent variety of colors. I do find these paints a little stiff so have added linseed oil to loosen the flow. I'd recommend this brand if an artist is at the beginning of their painting journey or needs to save a little money.Water-mixable oil paints are an absolute joy when it comes to clean-up. Just drop a glob of dishwashing soap on a clean paper towel and gently rub the brush bristles into the soap, then rinse until the water runs clear. No need to use turpentine for clean-up, which saves money and wear and tear on the painter's lungs.

Love this set! Very creamy. Mixes well with water, or used straight from the tube.

Years ago I painted in oils then switched to acrylics. I loved the smoothness of oils, but cleanup and drying times were negative factors. I tried these water mixable oils and really don't care for them. When dry they lack the sheen and color intensity I was looking for, even after adding medium. The only positive was the extended working time. I'm going back to acrylics, where I feel I have more control over layering and getting the sheen I want with mediums.

Other colors seem to be fine but blue(french ultramarine) is impossible to mix with water and won't paint evenly, resulting in uneven wash and painting. As blue is one of the primary colors and what I use the most, it was disappointing, especially because I bought these after watching youtube videos that showed blue working fine. I had to get linseed oil(water mixable, another $10) for it to work since I really needed to finish the painting in a short time. Also blue gets into (absorbed) the brush and hard to get it out to canvas or wash it off. I had a chance to use different & more popular brand and the quality is really different. It is very smooth and water really is the only thing I needed. I recommend investing a bit more and getting better paints. It really sucks that date to return passed.

The reason I gave three stars is because of slow shipping other than that the paint is pretty good however the white is too creamy for landscape painting.
