And yes I have got some water soluble oils but I never really used them LOL

ok front page of danielsmith

Okley dokley..maybe i'll try them in myspare time....

they are just like oils, except water based ... still really can't combine them with acrylics or other waterbased in the wet stage ... and i wouldn't put w.b.o.'s over acrylics too (otherway sure) ... pretty much the same for oil paint.

only real difference is the drying time ... doesn't stay wet for a week, takes about a day.

yep I did.. I found them rich and colorful.. it takes less than two days to dry and that's cool.. however.. I m back to acrylics one.. I don't know why

Yes cobra is very nice to use...

I have used them some years ago, advantage of not having any solventy smells and they are fun to use. You can get some great textures with them too. Since I concentrated on encaustic painting I now use them to colour wax mediums.

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion. 

And this is the completed screen ready for printing.  I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).

I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
