Anyone have experience with oil paints that clean up with soap and water?

I have seen them mentioned here. Looking for info about how they compare with traditional oils. I've avoided oils for a couple reasons. I work quickly and like that acrylics dry fast. And I like the way they clean up. But everyone says oils have richer colors and I'm curious to try them. Any recommendations on brands? Or any other suggestions or tips?

1. I like oils a lot better than acrylics. The colors are richer and less garish;

they aren't as flat-looking (although I know you can get mediums that give them a little gloss), and I think the fact that they take longer to dry actually makes them more flexible to work with. Because some oils are transparent you can use glazing techniques that don't work with acrylics. Also, once acrylic paint dries you can't get it off anything, even your skin, while dried oils can be removed from most surfaces other than cloth with various thinners. You can also get mediums for oils that aren't as smelly or toxic as the older types like turpentine, so that's not a problem. I've never tried the water-removable oils, never felt I needed to.

3. I like oil paint but I feel I really need a separate room to use oil paint even if you can clean

with water (I do doubt if it works ) Oil painting is messy. I have swithched to watercolors. Harder in some ways, but does not need as much space.

4. Getting oil paint to follow orders is the greatest achievement in the world. IMHO

2. There are several water clean-up oil paints.

I’ve not used them but they are out there. This seems to be a pretty good source for info on these hybrid paints.

Best if luck!
