- In this week's portrait painting video we will explore water mixable (also known as water soluble) oil paints. These paints are a very fun to work with and very easy to clean up. To add a little twist, we will be using cooking oil as a medium for fun (please use refined linseed oil if you are concerned with the longevity of your paintings).

Totally enjoyed the beginning of the Brunt Umber phase of getting the lights and darks on the canvas. Love your explanation, experimentation, and creativity. You inspired me to continue to paint. Thank you
Yupari!
For the first time today I used a different ground colour on my canvas instead of leaving it blank white. I used a very light blue with hints of grey in it. Just this one act has improved my portraiture immensely! Thank you!!
Love the eyes of your portraits. Love the colors in her face. Well done, again! :) Thank you, Yupari.
:) Yupari...This is my favorite approach to portrait painting. I am fascinated by the "foundational" stage establishing the placement of the various parts of the face and then wiping out areas as well as darkening where needed! Broad strokes and well placed. You have already captured her likeness! And it is just 18 minutes in. To be continued....
What a great demo. Thank you very much. The video in real time along with your very thorough and informed narrative is invaluable!
The info for water sol paint will be invaluable for your students. I loved it!
Yupari, I enjoyed the video, great job. I recently transitioned from acrylics to watermixable oils and I really like them. It's a perfect medium for anyone who would like a bit more slow drying but still enjoy the convenience of acrylics.
This is invaluable what you are doing in your channel educational-wise. I appreciate the time and effort you put on all these vids. I'm a fan.
this is getting better and better every week, with new ideas, new approaches each time, fantastic, very well done.
another gorgeous printing, by the way!
An hour long tutorial!? Wow, thanks for your hard work!
A precious gem - great instructional video
I think this is my favourite demonstration so far. It is really inspiring and I am going to return to watermixable paints again.
Excellent job Yupari.
So pleased to see you using water I’m able oils here . I love using them and am keen for any tips on using these. Great tutorial, I can see my portraits improving since following your channel. Thanks so much from Australia.
I used olive oil once and it was a big mistake , it never dries and its very different than linseed I found out the hard way. I wonder what tea tree oil would be like. Safflower, sunflower, but no butter or margarine hahahah
Hell with your skills buddy you could have used grape jelly , that's coming out nice.
I just use mediums specially made for water mixable
I really like the way you work, simple and direct. I have much to learn from you.
My favorite painting and model is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your art...I learn a lot.
using peripheral vision to assess relative colors is a great tip
Oh My. You make it look so simple and it is very inspiring. Just started using water soluble oils so it has been very helpful. Thanks.
Fantastic portrait! I loved watching it unfold!
Amazing. I learned an incredible amount.
Wow,very beautiful tequnics, excellents demostrations,i like very much.
I've had these water soluble oild for quite a while..every time I tried them I made a big mess ( I was trying to use water as a medium, did not work at all) . I watched your video last night...I usually do watercolor portraits but I tried an oil(water soluble) today ...I'm thrilled with it. I used olive oil as a medium it worked great. Thank you so much...I wish I could show you. ❤️
Great work! Very educational.
I am so grateful for you because you teach me many things .. thank you 🙏🏻
You are correct on not using water to dilute paint, you kind of can do that but have to make sure the paint on the brush ends up really kind of dry or you're going to have a brush soaked with water messing everything up on the canvas. All odorless thinners, mediums and such also should work fine with watersoluable paint if I'm not mistaken, but might require different ratios / amounts. I don't usually need it until the point of glazing something, but that depends on technique. Anyway, I've recently switched to Rembrandt oil paints, which are true oil paints and must say I kind of prefer the consistency of that. And the fact it comes better 'mixed' out of the tube, whereas with water soluble you often get the oily bit out of the tube first. It does handle basically the same when that oil is mixed back in on your palette. You are correct that true oil paint tends to be a little bit thicker. Good to see more people try the water soluable paints to be honest. They are worth a consideration. Awesome painting as usual Yupari!
I love this painting
Excellent. Loved it. A true artist
This is really beautiful!!
great work, buddy. Very enjoyable to watch.
Excellent! I have wondered about water soluble oils. I may try them now.
this is amazing! thank you.. I'd been resistant to water solubles but you made it work
Again magnificent!!!! Thank you!!!!
23:36 I'd be happy to just leave it like that, its so stunning. You are very talented. I am a watercolourist, trying to get my head around oils and acrylics, and you are really inspiring me to have a go. I have a very basic set of water-mixable oils, and I cant wait to play.
Great video your very talented and inspiring, I will get some of the paints !
Beautiful painting. I've done lots of painting with acrylics and some with regular oils, but id really like to try the water soluble oils, so I found this very interesting :)
Amazing lessons, thank you!
Beautiful performance I enjoyed the sense of color you have
Water soluble oil is my favorite medium, so glad you used them in this video.
I am learning so much from you. Your videos are amazing, and you are such a talented artist. Thank you!
I started using the water mixable oils due to my asthma and also living with pets...I love them. I started with Winsor & Newton because that is the brand the store carried. After doing further research, I decided to try Holbein Aqua Duo and definitely notice a difference. They are creamier and for me, easier to work with. I do have a small bottle of the Holbein water mixable oil and decided to take the advice of those who suggested the Winsor & Newton water mixable thinner and fast dry medium. I only use water to clean the brushes. Love watching your videos!Beverly
Wonderful!
Great work. My drawing has improve as a result of watching your videos. Thank you.
Brilliant tutorial very inspiring, too!! From India
Would you ever consider putting some of your videos into a playlist just for those of us that want to learn to draw? A drawing takes me forever to do, but then the painting isn't so hard for me. I think my ability would really benefit from learning the art of drawing. How do you measure? How do you get proportions correct? How do I really get started? Thanks for your time and making all these videos! Your talent is amazing.
Wonderful Yupari!
Now I know how difficult it is to produce a 100% likeness of a picture or a person in such a short time. Thanks for the demo!
Well done! And excellent explanation. Subbed!
Your videos provide such an excellent study that I would really like to see you do a portrait with Holbein's Duo Aqua paints as a comparison to the Artisans. I think the consensus is that the Duo Aqua's are the best WMO's - or at least one of the best. The WN Artisans, on the other hand, have been the centre of many complaints - at least that is what I've seen again and again on forums such as Wet Canvas. To each his own, of course, but the comparison from you would be invaluable to many of us. (I use Duo Aquas and Cobras.)
This was great! I would have liked the details in a little bit more close up but I loved to see you paint this !
Loved this Thankyou
So helpful, thank you.
БРАВО !
awesome!
Just FYI, you absolutely can think your water-mixable paints down with water to apply a wash or sketch something out. This is the second video in a row that tells me I can't do that thing I do and I'm not sure why.
FWIW, your painting is better than mine on most metrics IMO.
I think you should clarify that the water soluble oils ‘clean up’ with water and doesn’t ‘thin’ with water. You should use a thinner that comes from the manufacturer of the water soluble oils. I use them and love them. Love your painting!!! 🥰. Great video!
I’m so glad you did this...I’ve been on the fence about water soluble but am sensitive to solvents. Now I’m confident to try the WSO. You’re a wonderful talent, thanks!!
Try baby oil for cleaning brushes and thinner it's got zero smell
I use Dawn dish soap.
I paint portraits in the same style but with acrylics (i used oil products in wood shops for years & knew enough to avoid the hassle in apartments) U r very familiar with mixing ur mid tones individually instead of simply blending the dark & light together. By doing so, u not only create real transitions from life, but u stop relying on slow dry times. If i want to soften an edge, i simply touch it as i go....literally with my finger. Breaking the sharp edge & turning the form. If u miss one for any reason & later would prefer a softer transition, reducing the color to a glaze & working over the edge takes care of this. No solvents, no long dry times, no fat over lean, more affordable products, & easy clean up. Even erasing from the early stage, sketching with a brush. If u use a smooth panel....u can literally tone the panel with a rag & wipe away the light values.
I only mention this because i was shocked as well. A lot of acrylic work u see on line looks like craft paint, but that is due to people sharing the same bad painting techniques. Painters trying to slow down their dry time instead of focusing on the process of painting.
I prefer panels but have had success with acrylics on stretched canvas & water color paper....u just cant (on canvas or paper) smear away paint, instead, u must rely on white.
Other wise, u would assume my finished painting is oil.
I think u would have the same experience.....give it a try!
Happy painting
I've read elsewhere that olive oil is non drying and a big no no for painting. also, that it will yellow badly over time. your thoughts?
Amazing
Nice one yupari! There’s so much misinformation about water soluble oil paints, I started with them them tried oil based ones, fell in love with oil based BUT I’ve only just discovered you can mix them all up in one painting (only if you use oil solvents) I’ve not had a single problem with this inc varnishing over ten plus portraits now :) so you can always move on to ‘real’ oil paints afterwards if you like oils in general (and not worry about wasting money). Superb portrait again too, I really think the last 4 months of your output has been exceptional. Cheers o/
Julian HG Thank you! I do love traditional oil paints more than anything, but I thought water mixables would be fun. I like that you can actually mix them if you use solvents too. Thanks for the information!
Have you tried varnishing and then removing the varnish after a while? I say this because in my experience, wmo's tend to bind with final varnish making it unremovable. At any rate, I have seen that happening with gamvar and dammar. Since local art stores only sell the wmo paint but no varnish, I don't know if using the "correct" varnish (as say, the one for W&N artisan or cobra) removes nicely which is why I ask.
My dear friend, I like very much your style.....
Great information - loved the damp paper towel for the “eraser”.
I’m glad you liked the damp towel eraser! Remember that olive oil is not recommended as it doesn’t dry. It was all for fun and experimentation :)
@@YupariArtistglad I read this, I watched your two part portrait video with wmo where I think you used just water; is that your final recommendation? Using just water with wmo?
WN has several Artisan mediums that can be cleaned up with water. I read that the different manufacturers use at least two ways to make their oils soluble. One is that through some means the "crack" the oil molecules to make them water soluble. The other is to add a detergent to the oil which becomes inert when the paint dries (I think technically oil paints oxidizes..) I'm going to soon try oil painting again. Newer got any good at it but that was before all these TH-cam tutorial videos. After watching some I think I've seen what I am doing wrong. Right now I'm priming and tinting some bristol board that I've had for years but never used. So nothing lost if it doesn't work out.
Thanks a lot from Denmark👍❤️😉🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Hello and greetings from Germany. That was a great video, helped me a lot, hope it's more of you, and all thumbs up :-)
Amazing tutorial! I learned so much from this, Thanks for sharing. Please tell me what colors are used to paint Indian flesh tones. You are from which country?
What a treasure...
Thank you so much! I recently decided to try oil and picked water solubles but haven't touched them since the portrait painting class in Haliburton cuz I didn't understand how to handle them. This is so very helpful that I'm encouraged to take them out again. Am really enjoying your videos, though I agree that it would be nice to break them out into 3 or 4 stages in case we want to focus on a particular section.
A portrait is a likeness where there is something wrong with the mouth. LOL - John Singer Sargent!
In your list of materials used you say you sprayed your glass palette on one side. Can you please tell me what type of spray you used i.e Brand and color used?
Always very informative . a). what is the drying time of these paints ? b). can one use organic solvent with these paints ?
What Type of watersoluble oil paint did yo use?
GORGEOUS. Did you actually do the entire thing in just over an hour?? Amazing. A request: could you either repeat this painting, or with a new model, where you dont create a realistic painting but use "out there" colours? Instead of flesh tones, maybe use blues and greens and oranges yet still create the likeness? Since painting is all about tonal values rather than colour, it should still end up a good likeness, but more "modern". Would love to see something like that from you. Thanks!
I cannot understand, how to use water color and mixed with oil. Can you explain it
I’m getting back into oil painting(and painting in general). I’m pretty good with shapes, but not with color. My paintings end up looking strange, and I’m not getting realistic skin. I end up mixing paints into a grey mud, and the skin will either look dull or ridiculously contrasted. I’m pretty good with the under drawing because it’s not too different from drawing with a pencil. I’ll just have to keep practicing.
Keep up 👍👍👍💕
I really wanna see the results after 1 year 💕💕💕
How does this painting look today. Curious @ olive oil. I was also recommended to use coconut oil. What do you think? Maybe you could post a current photo of this portrait. Ty Onna
How is the olive oil going to affect the lifespan of that painting?
What's the archival quality of this paint?
Спасибо. Всё понятно.
What kind of brushes you are using sir?
I have been researching water soluble oils on TH-cam since Oct. 2018. Originally when I watched this video of yours I stopped watching when you used the olive oil. My research was to find the best WSO paint to buy and mediums . So I discredited you for the olive oil. My research came up with "HolbeinDuo Aqua oil paint" as best and "Cobra" second. Winsor Newton our favorite oil in the past did not fair well with their Artisan brand paint.
Not mixing with water unless you are laying base coat and just want wash all over is good advice.
The mediums that came out on top where " Artist Oil Medium, Walnut Oil by M. Graham @ Co" in a can, "Winsor Newton Oil Color Refined Linseed Oil", "Winsor Newton's Artisan Water Mixable Oil Fast Drying Medium". I will check back over my notes on artist who have seen results of using wrong medium and what damage years later cause painting.
Used oils for years and messed up a a great commission that later the face started turning yellow. Also do to health issues stopped using oils and toxic solvents. I am still in the process of setting up my new studio and do not want to bring in any harmful products or habits. A lot of people showing their WSO work looks crafty. Not interested in that. Your work looks good and was disappointed your using olive oil. I am sure after all the comments here you recognize that. I will now finish your video and check out all your others. Each person works differently. Without training I was able to do portraits. Using the wrong medium really cost my integrity at one time. I am now studying and absorbing all I can learn on WSO. I am saying all this as I see you have many followers of like mind and want to pass on my research. I learn fast and classes do not work for me. This TH-cam is great.
I have gathered years of learning in these last few months. I hoped I help your followers. Thank you, Diane
The paint doesnt take on the color of the cooking oil?
Hi! I love your videos! Thank you so much...I certainly appreciate your encyclopeadic knowledge of panting AND facial anatomy. Question: What's the difference between: Zinc and Titanium white, Burnt and Raw Umber, and Cadmium Medium/Light/Dark?pale Hues? Also, if one does a portrait sketch in black, white, and gray, can it be gone over with colors?
I use Liquin as a medium for water soluble oils. Works great.
May I ask what you would use as a thinner if you were doing an underpainting? I've always used water but have been told I should use Water Based Oil thinner. Then I wondered if I should use Water based medium alone to get the consistency of the paint I want for the next layer?
Royal Talens and Jackson Art recommend water mixed with 20% water mixable oil medium for the underpainting.
I paint also with watersoluble oilpaint: Cobra. And I use a quick drying painting medium from Cobra. This can also be thinned with water. What is the reason you use cooking olive oil?
Listen to his video at 6:30 ! He talks about it .
Wonderful!!! Thank you so much! I’ve been using Berlin WMO’s and really do love them...
Dottie Murphy. You are master in WSO. Or any other medium. This portrait is e
Windsor and Newton make an Artisinal Medium which lots of people have good results with.
How do I find the Amazon links for the products you are using
Hi, Albert, I see. your using Zink and just wonder how you consider the brittleness controversy of zink. your picture may not dry with cooking oil but I'm sure you're aware of that...your getting me excited about water-soluble though as I'm a materials junky.
Why regular Olive oil? The chemists have designed an oil that works with Artisan colours.
good hand
Never thought to use olive oil as a medium…cool
It’s mentioned as “not recommended” in the description. It was just for fun and a quick alla prima
Yupari, amazing tutorial, one thing, do you think that distance between the nose and the upper lip in the painting is bigger than the model picture?
Can you explain the drawing of the horse?
Great painting, careful with olive oil!
Thanks so much for this video tutorial.
I love your little erasure :-)
So wonderful!
Have you every use cold wax with the water-soluble oils as well?
I have the refined linseed oil for the water-soluble oil. I have experimented with the watersoluble oils a little; but this video helps me to understand it more further.
I have two question. Is it best to do a water-soluble oil painting alla prima, or leave it aside if you can't finish, and continue another day. Does fat over lean applies the same as regular oils?
Thank you
Good question Marie, let's see if someone has answers, I'm scared to use the water-soluble oils! lol
Great works, great channel. Would you please divide your long videos into 3 or 4 parts so we can watch or replay certain parts/ processes. Thank you.
Loved this!
I notice that you use very little paint on your brush. Using to mush is an issue for me...even when I'm promising my skintones...its almost like you are.drawing with the paint brush..
olive oil????
Or Ma posso scriverti qui a riguardo di k b?
