Bram, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU for at least trying the water mixable oil paint! I totally love them. They are thick paints and that is what makes them so great to use for the Bob Ross wet on wet method. Cobra is thinner paint if you prefer that. Hope you do more of these. Thank you for sharing your first experience with us! 💖🤗🌹
I'm so thrilled to see a video of you using the WMOs! I recently got into oil painting with WMOs, and because of being a SAHM, I didn't want to deal with paint thinners and wanted a quick clean-up. The first time I used them was to one of your earlier videos, but I quickly got discouraged because I couldn't figure out what the equivalent of liquid white would be for them. I'd love to see more videos of you using them with the special WMO mediums if possible!
The painting is outstanding and so is the audio. I'm very impressed with the way those water mixable oils worked. I would have guessed you were working with traditional oils. Hope you're well, Bram. Stay safe. I finally got my hands on a jug of milk!
I am delighted with your audio equipment, so clear, I can't thank you enough , and I will give those paints a try , Yovette uses them too and the results are excellent . Another fantastic demonstration BRAM well done 👏 👍🦻
This is just outstanding! Great colour combination love this super impressive work your style and colours are so uplifting! Thank you for this sharing greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Gorgeous painting, especially for your first time using WMO!! Thanks for posting your experience with them!! Here's my two cents on WMO's: I was recently introduced to WMO so I went online and did tons of research on using them, by dozens of people. One expert said that because these ARE actual oil paints that water should be used for cleanup only, NEVER as a part of the substitute for Liquid White or to thin the paints themselves while painting---that ONLY the special W&N Artisan Water Mixable linseed oil or Water Mixable Oil Painting Medium (or the equivalent of by other companies) be used to thin the paints while painting. If one were to use water mixed in the paints they will crack as they dry. Thanks so much for the demonstration! Great job!!
Hi Bram, thanks for the demo. I am going to follow you and decided to give water mixable oils a try. I was a water colorist till a couple of years ago, then stuff started happening in my life, so here I am, starting all over again. My anxiety has left me and I am ready to go, wish me luck ! I don't know when you made this demo and don't expect you to be reading this, it just needed to be said.
Your voice is very clear on my android phone, sounds good 👍. Appreciate you trying these because I bought these & only used once with no medium, liked it 1 time. But trusting your opinion.
I’m an acrylic artist and have done traditional oils . I started having respiratory symptoms from solvents. My husband surprised me with a bunch of WMO and now I need to experiment with them . I sure hope you have more of these videos using WMO . So far I love them , I use cobra royal talen brand
I really love the time where your sketchbooks are more visible while you're drawing. In future, I'd love to see as much time given to the pages of your sketchbook that were already drawn, because those were just as interesting to see but were kind of rushed past the camera
Nice painting Bram! I felt the same way about the paint being a bit thicker, but thats not really a big problem. The snow broke really well on your mountain!
From what I understand since I've started using WMO more seriously is that the benefit is in the brush cleanup...just with soap and water. You can thin them with water, as you paint but I try not too (or very little) since others have said, and I agree, that you're really then changing the nature of the oil paint and also the performance is not going to be as good. W&N makes a lot of good mediums designed for WMO, as do some other brands too.
Try using the special mediums made for water miscible oils (linseed and thinners) using water only as a mixing agent tends to make the Winsor & Newton paints tacky once the water evaporates out of the mix. I use Royal Talen's Cobra water mixable oils There creamer then Winsor's
They've extracted as much as they could of the oil molecules from the traditional oil paints but left just enough to keep it oil which gives the ability to mix with water. (Info from Don Nederhand from Jackson's Art)
Oil paints themselves are not toxic unless you eat them. They are made of natural products. The only colors I would be caution about are the cobalts and cads. Acrylics are made of petroleum products.
I just started working with water soluble oils and I am loving them. I just found you on TH-cam. Thank you for your videos. Do you have any paintings that are of the Appalachian Mountains. I have been wanting to do the Smokies.
Good morning Sir! as a complete novice to oil painting or any painting as a matter of fact, you do make it look easy and the results are very impressive! My question is- using this type of paint does it reduce the drying time? I'm guessing so.
Schmincke Medium W can be added to regular oil paint and it will become water mixable oil paint. And after you can dilute wit the mix I posted before this. The ratio is 1 part medium and 2 parts paint. Mix well together. You can store it in a small jar if you made too much. Schmincke Medium W can be bought in liquid format or gel format.
Well, the painting came out fine, IMO. For your first run with these paints especially. It would have gone easier though, if you nixed the water as thinner and used one of the various Artisan water mixable mediums. They've also come out with water mixable thinner now too. Use the water for cleaning. According to WN themselves, thinning with water is doable with small amounts of water but the water quickens up dry time/tack time. Too much water will cause cracking later on as well. Personally, I feel these paints are mis-named. I think they should be called water clean up oil paints. Because they work best with the Artisan mediums, better than water anyway. My wife uses these, I'm still using mostly Gamblin traditional oil paints. But even then, I'm starting to use some of Gamblins solvent free products
I mix water with a 2-3 drops of water mixable medium in a jar that can be closed. Shake it, and it become like milky water. That's I use for thinning and glazing wamo paint You need to figure out the ratio of water to medium yourself, it depends on the weather where you paint, the style, etc. I never mix with only water. Wamo paint IS oil paint with some emulsifier in it. When water evaporated it is an oil paint with all the characteristics. Most mistake made by treating it like acrylic. Too much water mixed into wamo paint. If you want only use water, use a dropper and mix with a few drops of water into the paint, do not overwater it. Best to use the mix above. I use a tiny caviar jar to mix it,3 quarter water and 3 drops wamo medium. When you glazing just put more medium into the jar, 2 or 3 drops for every subsequent layer. Shake it. This mix will stay emulsified over time, so u can use it for weeks.
Could one use Magic white or Liquid white medium WITH these water-mixable paints to paint the wet-on-wet technique (made popular by Alexander/Ross and their instructors) without any issues? or Did you find that just adding a sufficient amount of water to the water-mixable titanium white oil paint act like liquid white? And do you recommend distilled water over tap water?
Not really. It would work but it would take away the ability to clean with water. You can buy specific linseed oil for water mixable paint and make your own.
@@paintwithbram Thanks. So I guess about 1 part linseed oil for water-mixable oil paint to 1 part water-mixable Titanium white oil paint would work. Correct? And is there a walnut oil for water mixable? (Thanks again for responding). Also, any updates on Steve's condition since the heart attack in late 2022 (as I understand it)?
Don't eat 'em. I was just about to take a drink of water. Glad I didn't. Thank you for trying out the water mixable oils. I'm just about to go on that journey....

They are the artist royal Talens and seem fairly thick to me . ❤ thanks again for the videos

Beautiful. Just got some water mixable oils and am anxious to try them out.
The painting is outstanding and so is the audio. I'm very impressed with the way those water mixable oils worked. I would have guessed you were working with traditional oils. Hope you're well, Bram. Stay safe. I finally got my hands on a jug of milk!
Thanks Chris. I'm just glad the milk shortage caused by my dad has lessened.
I am delighted with your audio equipment, so clear, I can't thank you enough , and I will give those paints a try , Yovette uses them too and the results are excellent . Another fantastic demonstration BRAM well done 👏 👍🦻

Beautiful scenery with the new paint and the audio quality is much improved Bram!

Woooow! This painting AND your audio is so great!
I really love the time where your sketchbooks are more visible while you're drawing. In future, I'd love to see as much time given to the pages of your sketchbook that were already drawn, because those were just as interesting to see but were kind of rushed past the camera
Have you done anymore water soluble paintings? I’m switching and interested in learning how to use it
No, but I plan to do so.
Nice painting Bram! I felt the same way about the paint being a bit thicker, but thats not really a big problem. The snow broke really well on your mountain!
Thanks 👍 I honestly thought they would be looser so it was a surprise. Yes, this works well for mountain breaks.
From what I understand since I've started using WMO more seriously is that the benefit is in the brush cleanup...just with soap and water.

Good work bro. This time your more audible thanks again.
Try using the special mediums made for water miscible oils (linseed and thinners) using water only as a mixing agent tends to make the Winsor & Newton paints tacky once the water evaporates out of the mix. I use Royal Talen's Cobra water mixable oils There creamer then Winsor's
That part in the beginning about not remembering if you primed it …priceless lol
Very well done , thanks enjoyed 🌼

Your microphone works fine. Sounds good.

Hey did you apply Liquid White before you started applying color to the canvas?
I use walnut oil for a medium and a brush cleaner.
I’m going to try that paint because Bob Ross paint has become horrible and more expensive thanks again 🙏🏻😀👍
use 50/50 mix of zink white and linseed oil with the water mixable oils and there are good for people like me with C.O.P.D
Well, the painting came out fine, IMO. For your first run with these paints especially.

My main question is: did you use water to clean them and if so, are you using the new BRI synthetic brushes?
they can be cleaned with warm soapy water. I've used Winsor & Newton paints. I also use the water miscible mediums with them .
@@UncleTerry thank you!
That’s what I use but what can replace liquid white used in traditional oil paint?
For water mixable paint? You can get specialized linseed oil so you could mix your own with the water based oil paint.
Don't eat 'em. I was just about to take a drink of water. Glad I didn't. Thank you for trying out the water mixable oils. I'm just about to go on that journey....
LOL! Let me know what you think when you use them.
Your awsome!
I miss Bob Ross....you have continued his legacy.
Do you know Bill Alexanders work? The originator.
Do you like the water mixable oil paint?
pricas ko usran fuj !
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
