Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Paint 37 ml – Cerulean Blue Hue 138

Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Paint 37 ml – Cerulean Blue Hue 138 is an artist-grade oil paint formulated to be thinned and cleaned with water while retaining the handling characteristics of traditional oils. The 37 ml tube contains a professional-quality pigment blend that provides vivid colour, smooth consistency and extended open time for blending, glazing and detailed brushwork. This water-mixable oil offers the benefits of oil painting without the need for solvents, making it suitable for studio and classroom environments where simpler cleanup and lower solvent use are preferred.

Advantages

This Cerulean Blue Hue provides strong tinting strength and consistent colour laydown with good lightfastness for a hue intended to match traditional cerulean blue tones. The water-mixable formulation allows thinning, blending and brush cleaning with water, yet preserves the buttery texture and workable drying profile of conventional oil paints. The 37 ml format is convenient for trial, travel or smaller projects while maintaining the performance expected from an artist-grade paint.

Suitable for

• Fine art painting using oil techniques without solvents
• Layering, glazing and wet-on-wet oil methods

How to use

Squeeze a small amount of Cerulean Blue Hue onto the palette and mix with other Artisan colours as required. Thin gradually with clean water to achieve glazes or softer transitions; for stronger dilution and increased flow, use products recommended by the manufacturer for water-mixable oils. Apply in layers following normal oil-painting principles, allowing drying between thicker applications when working with impasto or multiple glazes. Clean brushes and tools with water and mild soap while the paint is wet.

Usage recommendations

Store tubes upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When mixing with other oil paints, use other water-mixable brands or allow ample drying time if combining with conventional oils. For archival results, follow standard oil-painting practices: fat-over-lean layering and sufficient drying time between layers.
