Water mixable oil paint SMARTMAX Artisan 37 ml — Raw Sienna

SMARTMAX Artisan water-mixable oil paint in a 37 ml tube, colour Raw Sienna, offers the working properties of traditional oil paint with the convenience of water thinning and water-based cleanup. Formulated for artists who want the handling, drying behaviour and blending characteristics of oil while avoiding organic solvents, this Raw Sienna hue provides a warm, transparent-to-opaque earth tone suitable for underpainting, glazing and tonal work. The 37 ml metal tube is practical for studio use, plein air painting and mixed-media applications where compact, solvent-free materials are preferred.

Advantages

This water-mixable oil paint combines oil-based pigment binding with a modified vehicle that allows thinning and brush cleaning with water. It delivers good flow and blending, reliable adhesion to primed supports, and a drying profile similar to conventional oils. The Raw Sienna shade offers natural earth tones with moderate tinting strength and good coverage properties for both opaque and transparent layers. The 37 ml tube format is portable and minimizes waste for small studies and detailed work.

Suitable for

• Studio oil painting and preparatory studies
• Plein air painting where solvent-free handling is preferred
• Layering, glazing and alla prima techniques
• Mixed-media works where compatibility with water-based media is required

Key specifications

• Volume: 37 ml tube
• Colour: Raw Sienna — warm earth tone for underpainting and glazing
• Binder type: water-mixable oil vehicle (modified oil formulation designed for water thinning)
• Application: suitable for brush and palette knife techniques
• Drying: dries by oxidation with a profile similar to conventional oils (dry-to-touch time depends on layer thickness and environmental conditions)
• Cleanup: water-soluble when wet; no organic solvents required for thinning or cleaning brushes

How to use

Use the paint straight from the 37 ml tube or thin it with water to adjust consistency for washes and glazes. For heavier impasto or textured applications, apply directly or mix minimally with medium compatible with water-mixable oils. Clean brushes and tools with water while the paint is wet; for dried paint removal, follow standard mechanical or manufacturer-recommended methods. Allow each layer to dry sufficiently before applying subsequent layers when working with glazes or delicate transitions.

Usage recommendations

Work on properly primed supports recommended for oil-based media. Store tubes capped and in a cool, dry place to preserve paint consistency. When mixing with other brands, test compatibility to ensure desired drying and adhesion characteristics. Ventilate the workspace normally and follow standard studio safety and disposal practices even though solvents are not required.
