I've tried contacting the seller, but was advised to check with my neighbours and the post office - it wasn't there. Disappointing.

These are oil paints, ie, oil based paint that are formulated to be mixable with water but they are not water based. In my experience water mixable oil based paints can used with any type of oil medium. **Q: Will this work with acrylic paint as well?** A: No, it wouldn’t mix. There are plenty of acrylic mediums out there or try flow release. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Product Never Arrived *by C***L on 20 December 2023* I'm sure the product itself is great, but it never arrived.
