Solvent-Free Oil Painting with Winsor & Newton Artisan Mediums
Winsor & Newton’s Artisan Water-Mixable Oil Color Mediums offer artists the freedom to explore traditional oil painting techniques—without the use of harsh solvents. Specially formulated to work with Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colors, these mediums allow for easy cleanup with water, making them a safer and more eco-friendly choice for both studio and home environments. Whether you're building glazes, modifying consistency, or enhancing flow, these mediums give you full control over your oil painting process—just like traditional mediums, but with none of the fumes.
Each medium in the range is designed to support a specific function. Some increase fluidity for smooth brushwork, while others add body for texture and impasto. The fast-drying medium speeds up drying time for quicker layering, and oiling-out mediums help rehydrate paint films to prevent cracking and enrich color depth. Together, they expand the creative possibilities for water-mixable oil painters without compromising on performance or technique.
