Holbein Duo Aqua Oils

These Oils provide a richly pigmented palette of color in a water soluble oil paint.

Holbein Duo Aqua Oils provide a richly pigmented palette of color in a water soluble oil paint. Oils can be broken down in two ways, either with solvents or surfactants. Holbein Duo Aqua Oils use surfactants in the paint (which are activated with water) to dissolve the oil binder. Detergents are surfactants that remove oils from fabric in a washing machine. Holbein Duo Aqua can be diluted with solvents like a traditional oil paint, or with water to provide the same purpose. If mixed with a traditional oil paint, Holbein Duo Aqua Oils will no longer dilute with water.
