In saying that though, I've seen some fantastic work, which looked like watercolour, but was done with W&N Artisan and lots of water.

I to have been using water soluble oils (Holbein Duo Aqu brand). I used traditional oils before that (mostly Rembrandt) and always had to use turps to thin the paint and clean my brushes. My studio always had to have air filtration also. Now I have no harmful chemicals in my studio, just paint and water! Since I have 5 young children running around this gives me much more peace of mind! Do you use water to thin your paint? I have found the combo of W&N artisian fast drying medium and linseed oil to work better for me. The water seems to make the paint a little gummy where as the mediums seem to give me the creamy consistancy of the Rembrandt oils I use to use. Have you experienced this with the W&N paints?
