Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colours - Zinc White (Mixing White) - 37 ML is magnificently designed to look and work just like traditional oil paint. The key difference between Artisan and conventional oils is its ability to thin and clean up with water. Artisan has been specifically developed to appear and work just like conventional oil colour. The depth of colour, buttery consistency, light fastness, opacity/transparency, performance and drying times of Artisan, allow artists to use this range for all oil colour techniques. Zinc White is an opaque white based on zinc pigments. It is an excellent tinting white, also known as Chinese White. It was introduced in the UK by Winsor & Newton in the mid-19th century.
