Working with the water soluble oil paints is<span data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\"><span class=\"UFICommentBody _1n4g\"> like working with acrylics, but with a much longer drying time. After you block in a thin layer (mixed with water) then you have to start using the water soluble Linseed oil, so that is not much different than regular oils. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\"><span class=\"UFICommentBody _1n4g\">I picked up a box of water soluble paints with mediums at a garage sale for $5, so I thought I&#8217;d give them a try! Another thing that is MUCH better is the LACK of smell\/fumes! I&#8217;m sold on them!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is my current painting project, #2 in the Grand Canyon series. <\/strong>I have purposely chosen canvases with a 2:1 ratio to really give the feeling of the expanse of the Grand Canyon. <i>This painting is still in progress (not finished).<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
