* Holbein Water Soluble Oil Color "Duo" in this article is no longer available.


Oil paint is a paint that allows you to create a strong and glossy screen by applying it, but it takes a lot of time to dry, but it also uses volatile oils such as turpentine and petrols used as diluted materials. You need to be careful enough to handle it.
Holbein Art Materials Inc."How to view label notation / to safely use the product"Then, when the use of these drawings, it is written as "Please improve ventilation and ventilation while using paint and solvent."

Holbein -soluble oil paint Duo was developed for those who wanted to clear such problems and enjoy oil painting comfortably at home.

Originally, oil paint uses "oil" as its name suggests, so it does not dissolve in water. However, the duo contains only a few percent of "surfactants". This surfactant connects water and oil, which makes it diluted with water instead of volatile solvents such as petrol.

I did a variety of tasks in duo along the process of drawing stills. First is the base making.

Oil paint has a slower drying speed than a water -based paint, has moderate viscosity, and can be drawn with a hard brush such as pig hair. However, as mentioned above, the waiting time until drying is long, so it is not easy to finish it in a short time with oil paint alone. So we immediately use the characteristics of this paint.

Because of this paint water soluble, it is possible to mix acrylic paint. As a result, you can create a base material while maintaining the unique viscosity peculiar to oil paint.

In this work, I mixed the acrylic paint of Matsuda Oil Painting Co., Ltd., titanium white and duo's burn amber and tonned it.

  

In the case of such a draft process, the conventional oil paint is drawn with paint that is diluted with volatile oil, but in duo, such a thin coating expression can be performed with water.

In the next process, we proceeded with coloring in a color close to the completed image.
Duo used a duo duo Quick Medium Gloss to promote the drying speed for several days to dry, like normal oil paint.
By mixing this Medium about the same amount as the paint, the paint can be dried in about a day. If the brush is poor, add painting oil to adjust the viscosity.

  

Next, I will put the color.

Use Duo Quick Ling Medium Gloss to promote the drying speed of DUO here.

By mixing this Medium about the same amount as the paint, Duo can be dried in about a day, but it can increase transparency or fall color, so it is at least used. It is good to do.

Also, if the brush is poor, add the painting oil to adjust the viscosity.

Increase the amount of oil to be used than before, and add highlights and narrow motifs.
Oil paint has a painting method called "Fat Overlean". The painted paint is more oily than the lower layer of paint, so that it can not only prevent cracks on the screen, but also give the work a dry oil peculiar.

Here, a duo dedicated linseed oil was added.
In addition to this, water -soluble stand oil is also available, so you can challenge painting such as classical techniques according to the artist's preference.

We were able to finish less than 6 hours, including preparing art materials.

Of course, it is easy to clean up, and the brush can be washed neatly with water and soap like acrylic paint.

By all means, please start a new art life with Holbern duo.
