HOLBEIN Duo Water-Mixable Oil 20ml Rose Madder

These oil paints can be thinned with water. They can be diluted with water instead of volatile solvents like petrol, and brushes can be washed with water. Using water allows you to consistently create oil paintings in a clean environment, even in studios or classrooms with poor ventilation.

They are also recommended for those sensitive to odors and solvents. They offer a wide range of expressive possibilities. Duo, diluted with water, is a type of mixed tempera paint. It combines the properties of water-based paints with the properties of oil paints.

Taking advantage of the unique bleeding and surface tension of water, they bring unprecedented expression to oil painting, such as thin, even applications and uninterrupted, sharp, dark hatching. Because they are oil paints, they dry to produce durable oil paintings that are insoluble in both water and oil. They can be mixed freely with conventional oil paints.

However, please note that mixing more than 30% of regular oil paints or oil painting fluids will make them insoluble in water. The updated product is now even more professional-grade.

The color tones and formulas of the old Duo were completely revised and a major renewal was carried out in June 2008. New pigments have been actively adopted, and mineral colors such as cadmium and cobalt have been added to the total of 100 colors. We recommend Duo as a paint for true artists who can master a wide range of expressions.
