What are Water Soluble Oils? Are they real oils? Are they any good? Can you actually mix with water?

Water Soluble Oils also known as Water Mixable Oils or Water Miscible Oils are REAL oil paints that don't require turpentine/solvents or mineral spirits to clean up! That's right - you can clean up with just soap and water!
Can you mix water soluble oils with water for painting?
Are water mixable oils as good as oil paints?
What are water soluble oils like to paint with?
Do you need solvents?
Can you use oil painting mediums with water mixable oils?
Do you have to follow the fat over lean rule?
In this video I will cover all of these questions people have about water mixable oils.
Please note: Water mixable oils are NOT water based oils (there is no such thing as a water based oil) - they are still made with oil (i.e. they are oil based) but can be mixed with water.

just discovering your channel; thank you so much! Your artwork is stunning and you're a great teacher. I used to go to school for art but was unable to finish. in life's hustle and bustle i stopped doing art and now very much want to learn again but can't afford to go back to the Art Institutes. I'm wondering if many teachers are doing private instruction over video/zoom since Covid came along and more things are done that way. How does one find a good art tutor/instructor if the university route is not a possibility? Thanks for your time.

Water mixable oils are not soluble in water, they form an emulsion when they’re mixed with water which is why there’s often a tonal shift.
