Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour – Dioxazine Purple

Unique features

Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour is a groundbreaking oil paint that can be easily cleaned with water. Made with modified linseed and safflower oil, it eliminates the need for hazardous solvents, making painting safer and more enjoyable at home, in schools, and in shared studios.

Dioxazine Purple is a vibrant mid-tone purple pigment with remarkable intensity. When undiluted, it can even be used as a deep black. This transparent, lightfast and permanent pigment has been part of Winsor & Newton’s range since the 1960s.

Benefits of Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour

This paint retains the richness and working properties of traditional oils: thick consistency, high lightfastness, permanence, and outstanding opacity/transparency. The key difference lies in its water-mixable nature, making it healthier and more convenient without compromising quality.

Usage possibilities

Artisan colours can be thinned and mixed with water, and when combined with Artisan mediums and varnishes, the water-mixable quality is preserved. Artists can enjoy the full experience of oil painting techniques without solvents.
