A friend left me her art supplies 3 years ago and I just tried her
water soluble oil paints (Grumbacher). I was surprised when I squeezed
them out on the palette -- the pigment is beautiful as the "regular"
oil paints. One problem was the titanium white which was dry and gummy
-- is it because the paints were old? I also noted that you seem to
need more paint on your brush to carry a coloured wash across the
paper (painting on gessoed paper}.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has used these paints. Is
it worth investing in a few colours that I would need? Do they even
still make them? What about lasting quality?

Thanks,

Nikole

WOW -- that is so technical I've never heard of it.
Could you possibly define it for us. What does the
word "emissable" mean and in what technical dictionary
can we find it?

Perhaps you mean "miscible" Rosa Amarillo.
