Water Soluble Oil Paints

I decided to use water soluble oil paints, so that I can avoid using turpentine.

After some research, I decided to buy Holbein Duo Aqua water soluble oil colors. I read some good user reviews about this line.

I bought the following 6 colors:

  • Burnt Umber
  • Cadmium Red hue
  • Cadmium Yellow light hue
  • Titanium White
  • Ultramarine deep
  • Yellow Ochre
