What is the outcome of the water mixable paintings like? I heard that the painting doesn't age very well due to the water and oil being mixed together but idk if thats rlly true as I would really like to use a water mixable with acrylics!
@@sarahf1107 don’t use too much water to thin the paint. Use water mixable paint thinner and paint fat over lean and it’ll be the same as a regular oil painting. I tend to use no water except for clean up
@@Themeparkfanman I've painted quite a few paintings in water-mixable oils but haven't tried mixing wm medium with acrylics as in the video. How is that working for you?
Today I bought this brand colors. (16 tubes) I wasn't able to pay 430$, but luckily I found discount. 😀 Iam very happy. Thanks dad. 😊 Will paint something great.
Thanks for the video. My question is can this water mixable linseed oil medium be used in oil painting since you mention it is helpful to use some colors not available in oil paints?
Hi, could mixing acrylic paint with the water-mixable oil gel cause cracking or other issues over time? Also, if you use this gel, what type of varnish should you finish off with? Thank you.
Hi Reiss, good question! We wouldn't recommend mixing more than 25% water-mixable oil gel with acrylic paint because this can cause cracking. You'll also want to keep your coat of paint fairly thin to avoid this issue. To answer your question about varnish, we don't currently have one that would be suitable for this combination so you might have to do a little bit of research online. Good luck!
Hi there, sorry to hear that you've had some difficulty finding what you need. Unfortunately we don't produce the water mixable linseed oil medium anymore, but we've covered a few different techniques in this video that you may be able to use instead. We hope this helps :)
Thanks for sharing, I have two questions. Can you use varnish for acrylic paint on a painting that uses water-mixable linseed oil gel? Can you use a layer of acrylic on a painting with water-mixable linseed oil gel?
Hi there, great question! You can use varnish with regular acrylic paintings but not if you've added water mixable linseed oil to the paints :) We also wouldn't recommend painting back over it with acrylic.
Hi there! The only time the drying time may change is when you mix it with other additives such as mediums etc, but it will still dry faster than oils paints.
Which is better for blending?? The retardant of the water soluble linseed oil?? read an article that mentioned the acrylics could crack over time or something like that with the water soluble linseed oil mixed with acrylic..
Your "water mixable linseed oil gel" does not seem to exist ANYWHERE, not even at Mont Marte online site. Maybe it did 3 years ago when this video was made.
If I use the water soluble linseed oil on my acrylics does that mean the room that I’m painting in has to be aired out as if I was painting with oil paints?
Also would it be best to splurge on better acrylic paints if I were to use the linseed oil on it or would it be ok to still use cheap Walmart acrylic Apple Barrel brand?
@@sacuysacuy6464 the type of paint you use is really up to you - linseed oil should be fine with either :) You also won't need to air out the room like you would with oil paints because it doesn't have a strong odour.
Hi there, thanks for reaching out! 😊 You can use water mixable linseed oil with traditional oil paint, but unfortunately it won't make the traditional oil paint water soluble.
Hello, unfortunately you can't use linseed oil with satin acrylic paint as they are not compatible. We do however have a clear gloss and matte medium for acrylic. The codes are MAMD0001 (Gloss) and MAMD0002 (Matte)
I just bought acrylic paint and I didn’t know that oil paint and acrylic are different. Now I don’t have money to buy paint again And I have to wait a month before buying what I need to buy for making my acrylic paint into oil paint.
Hi there, thanks for your question! We can't say for sure since we haven't used those paints, but most acrylics will work using these tips and tricks :)
I can use oil or olive oil (for cooking)? I don't have money for this, and I spent all my money on acrilic paint... Next month I will try to buy oil paint.
Hi Amanda, great question! Olive oil and some other cooking oils won't dry, so we wouldn't recommend using them for your painting. There are other additives, such as linseed oil gel, that you can mix with your acrylics to create oil painting effects. We've got a few more tips in the video if you're interested :)
I would personally stick with acrylics just because oils require additional purchases. I find watercolors and acrylics to be great for a budget! They can also work together! You can add water to both acrylic and watercolors (a little water to acrylic- but watercolor paints won't ruin the acrylic you've put down like oils would), and they don't require added mediums like oils do. They also dry faster, which I see as a plus. You can technically put acrylics on good painter's paper whereas you don't want to use paper with oils. I find them very finicky, expensive and the mineral spirits give me a headache. It does depend on the type of artist you are, however. Hope this helps!
hey Amanda, I tried olive oil with acrylic craft paint (just a small amount, you will have to experiment with it to get it right) it took about 45 mins to dry and the paint after drying was just like the one that didn't have the olive oil in it
Hi Joe, unfortunately it's not available in many of our stockists but you can find it here www.artshedonline.com.au/mont-marte-h2o-water-mixable-oil-gel-medium-125ml/
Hi there, thanks for reaching out! We suggest using an acrylic retarder, such as this one > www.montmarte.net/mont-marte-acrylic-retarder-75ml/. This product helps to slow the drying process by approximately 25%. Alternatively, you could give the paint a spritz with fresh and clean water in a spray bottle ☺
Hi Joy, you can find the product page here www.montmarte.net/product/view/h2o-water-mixable-linseed-oil-gel and if you're interested in buying one you may be able to find it on Amazon, Art Shed online or at your closest Mont Marte stockist. We hope this helps!

Great tip. Thank you.
