Turn ANY Brand of Oil Paint Into Water Mixable Oils |
![]() |
It's possible to turn traditional oil paints into water mixable oils. Painting with oils can be as safe or even safer than using acrylics when you eliminate the solvents. The linseed oil in oil paint is the oil from flaxseed. Using a solvent free oil paint like M Graham will help you to eliminate the solvents from your studio.

I didn't notice any odor and the label even states that it's odorless. I used it with the M Graham paints listed above, but it should work with other brands. It's available as a gel in a tube, but there's also another version in a bottle that has the consistency similar to linseed oil.
