Holbein Duo-Aqua Oil is an artist quality watermixable oil paint made with water-soluble 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. These 83 colours are free of pigments deriving from heavy metals; for painters who can't live without their Cadmiums and Cobalts, these colours are now available and are known as Duo-Aqua Elite Colours. They have the same working properties as the original Duo-Aqua colours and are formulated in the same manner; the only difference is the pigments.

This is a 110ml tube of Holbein Duo Aqua Ceramic White, a painting white developed by a joint research project of the Holbein Works Ltd. Laboratory and Japanese Government Industrial Laboratory. Ceramic White was developed to combine the most positive qualities of other painting whites when taken collectively. It contains titanium and strontium pigment which will not react with sulphur. Ceramic White offers superior surface strength without brittleness, increases tinting and covering power over lead and zinc, but when compared to titanium white, it offers increased transparency, drying time and visual whiteness. Excellent handling qualities.
