Holbein Duo-Aqua Oil is an artist-quality watermixable oil paint made with watersoluble linseed oil. It has all of the handling characteristics of traditional oil paints but can be thinned or cleaned up with just water. These paints have a uniform drying time, and will hold brushmarks and dry to a lustrous sheen like traditional oils. Duo-Aqua is available in 83 colours, 75 of which offer optimum permanence.
For the original Duo-Aqua range, Holbein avoided using heavy metal pigments. For painters who can't live without their cadmiums and cobalts, these colours are now available and are known as Holbein Duo-Aqua Elite Colours. They have the same working properties as the original Duo-Aqua colours. Colours labeled Elite are: Cadmium Red, Cadmium Red Deep, Cadmium Orange, Cadmium Yellow Deep, Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Naples Yellow, Cobalt Green Light, Cobalt Green Deep, Cadmium Green, Cadmium Green Light, Cobalt Turquoise, Manganese Blue Nova, Cerulean Blue, Cobalt Blue, Verditer Blue and Cobalt Violet.
