Very helpful. I’m planning 3 week trip to the UK in a small rented camper van and these are perfect solutions to the challenges of taking my oil paints along. You should sell that drying rack!
That gave me ideas if I want to take my oil paints on a car trip. You can also store the upright stack of canvases into a plastic box. I would not take oil paints in an airplane, as in European Airlines oil paints are banned. The regulations don't make any difference between housepaint and artists paints. I would take acrylics instead.
@@Elvraie I've never encountered a problem taking water-mixable oils on planes in Europe before (I guess there is always a first time!). I take them in carry-on luggage in a clear plastic bag and put them along with my toiletries in the x-ray tray. The tubes I take are only 40ml each, so maybe that is OK.
I really love the water mixable oils and find them a joy to work with. They don't smell so working at home is ok, they don't need nasty chemicals or solvents, and they clean up with just water and a bit of soap. I use Cobra paints that I find have a much better consistency straight from the tube ( I've tried Artesan paints from w&n before but they are too sticky and need a medium to thin them down). I'm writing an online course on using water mixable oils in landscape painting. Follow me on my blog at andywalkerart.com for more news about this.

Thanks for sharing Andy. Do you find the water soluble oils OK to work with? How long do they take to dry? Thanks

@@AndyWalkerArt thanks Andy. Do you exclusively use water based oils now? Never traditional oils?
@@stevenice8320 yes, only water mixable oils and only the Cobra make.
Very nice setup. Where did you get the oil painting box? Or did you make it yourself? Thanks for sharing.
@@mcruz2187 I made It myself. Much cheaper than buying one and easy to construct.
@@AndyWalkerArt Thanks. I am not so good at building things, so would need to find a readymade one that is similar to yours. Thanks
