Holbein Duo Aqua Oil is a unique oil paint that offers artists the best of both worlds - the smooth and buttery consistency of traditional oil paints and the convenience of water-solubility. This water-soluble oil paint is specially formulated to be compatible with other water-soluble media, making it a versatile choice for artists (especially mixed media artists!) of all levels.

One of the most exciting aspects of Holbein Duo Aqua Oil is that it can be used in conjunction with other water-soluble media (Acrylic, Gouache, Inks...) to create unique and innovative pieces. Whether you're an experienced artist or just starting out, you can use Holbein Duo Aqua Oil to explore new techniques and styles.

For example, you can use Holbein Duo Aqua Oil in conjunction with watercolor to create stunning, layered paintings with a rich, oil-like texture. Simply lay down a wash of watercolor, and then use the oil paint to add details, highlights, and texture. The oil paint will stay wet long enough for you to blend and work with it, but it will eventually dry to an opaque finish.

Another creative application of Holbein Duo Aqua Oil is using it with gouache. By combining the vivid colors of gouache with the smooth consistency of oil paint, you can create stunning, vibrant pieces that have a unique, luminous quality. The oil paint will also help to preserve the vibrancy of the gouache colors, making your paintings last for years to come!

You can also use Holbein Duo Aqua Oil with other water-soluble media such as water-soluble pencils, pastels, and inks. The possibilities are endless! Simply experiment with different techniques and see what works best for you.

One of the greatest benefits of Holbein Duo Aqua Oil is that it is TRULY water-soluble, making cleanup a breeze. Simply wash your brushes with water and soap, and your painting tools will be ready to use again. There's no need for solvents, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly option for artists. No worries about blowing up your studio!

Holbein Duo Aqua Oil is a FABULOUS artist grade paint, available in 100 high quality, brilliantly pigmented colors. You will NOT find this paint at the "big box" stores- only at your Friendly Neighborhood Art Store! Use it alone - or in conjunction with other water-soluble media. Why not give it a try and see what you can create!
