Holbein Duo Aqua Water Soluble Oils Sets

Experience the professional performance of traditional oil paints with the convenience of water-soluble cleanup. Holbein Duo Aqua Water Soluble Oils were developed to offer the same high pigment quality and archival characteristics as the legendary Holbein Artists' Oil line, but with a unique formulation that allows for easy soap-and-water cleaning.

Characterized by rich hues and high chroma, these oils provide the superior working characteristics that professional artists demand. They maintain excellent lightfast ratings equivalent to traditional oil colors, ensuring your work remains vibrant for years to come. Because they eliminate the need for harsh solvents, they are an ideal choice for artists working in shared studio spaces, classrooms, or home environments.

The Duo Aqua line is produced with the highest standards of quality. Holbein specifically details 17 colors as "Elite" colors within the range, which contain genuine heavy metal pigments such as quinacridones, cadmiums, and cobalts for those seeking maximum intensity and permanence. These sets provide a versatile foundation for any palette, offering a range of essential colors that blend seamlessly with one another or with traditional oil paints and mediums.

Whether you are a beginner looking for a starter set or an experienced painter seeking a more sustainable workflow, these water-miscible oil sets provide the buttery texture and depth of color required for fine art applications. High pigment loads and reliable drying times make them a staple for any serious artist's toolkit.
