How well do these mix with water? I've heard you still need some form of thinner other than water?

As the name implies the paints can be thinned with water. You will need to experiment with different degrees of water in the mix as the water does start to thin down the amount of pigment in the paint. When I use water I do so very sparingly. By preference I tend to use purified linseed oil for thinning but again I use it sparingly - I have a small pool of oil on my pallet and occasionally dip the tip of my brush in it. Thinning is only really necessary for fine detail work and the basic oil paint is usually OK for general work. This is something you must resolve for yourself by experimenting with paint mixes and for an exercise you could start to make up a sample colour mix board marked with clear record of the colour proportions and water/paint mix proportions to use for future reference or consider finding a class for instruction. The water is a simpler method for cleaning your brushes but I would recommend a good quality brush soap for use when cleaning. A good one may seem expensive but it does last and can be used for cleaning all mediums and helps to keep your brushes in good order - I have been using mine for about 8 years now and it is still going strong.

What colours are included ?

The following is copied from the Ken Bromley catalogue item for this product. Surface dry between 5 to 7 days, and no colour shift wet to dry. The set contains 10 x 20ml Tubes. Colours included in each set (subject to variation): Titanium White, Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Yellow Hue, Cadmium Red Hue, Crimson Alizarin Hue, Coeruleum Hue, French Ultramarine, Viridian Hue, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber

Is there a drying fastener medium for this? How long does it take for it to dry without one?

The drying time depends on how much water you mix with the paint. Used neat it can be touch dry in about three or four days but will still be tacky if any weight is put on it. The drying time reduces as you vary the amount of water used and you should experiment with various mix proportions to resolve the answers. Too much water and the paint becomes similar to a water colour paint. I usually work wet in wet with neat paint and find this works well and they only intermix when I deliberately blend the edges. Experience and practice will resolve your starting problems. Just to note - if you want to practice lightning sketching with oil paints use mounting card as your canvas - the card absorbs the oils in the paint and they dry within a minute or so. The paint can be moved about with a rag during the drying time to create effects but you have to be quick - worth a try.

Is there a brown tone in this set?

The colours include: Titanium White Lemon Yellow Cadmium Red Crimson Alizarin Coeruleum French Ultramarine Yellow Ochre Burnt Sienna

Good value for money

I wanted to trial water mixable oils but didn't want to spend a great deal of money in case I didn't like it. This is a good starter set that has many of the colours you can use easily. Daler Rowney are a good quality brand and I've used their acrylics many times with good results. One point, if you want to get the best out of these then you should also purchase some Linseed oil to mix with it. The best part of using these water mixable oils is that I can wash my brushes out in soap and water without any problems. Easy Peasy

Leider fehlt es den Farben tatsächlich an Brillanz: man merkt die Menge an Füllstoffen, sie wirken etwas kreidig. Für den Anfänger aber definitiv geeignet.
