We now carry a full line of Grumbacher Max Water-Mixable oil paint here at Utrecht Columbus.  These paints are perfect for the beginner as well as the experienced artist.  Their special formulation allows them to be thinned and cleaned with water, eliminating the need for harsh solvents like turpentine or mineral spirits.  They can also be used with traditional oil paints, however if you mix them with traditional oils, they will no longer be water mixable. (and yes, they are compatible with other brands of water-mixable oils!)
