Oil paint tube Cobra Artist Water-Mixable Oil Colour Permanent Yellow Deep 285, water-mixable oil

Cobra Artist Water-Mixable Oil Colour Permanent Yellow Deep 285 is a water-mixable oil paint formulated to deliver traditional oil-painting handling while allowing thinning and cleanup with water. The pigment yields a deep, permanent yellow suitable for glazing, layering and conventional oil techniques. The tube format provides controlled dispensing for studio work, plein air painting and studies where accurate colour application and gradual tonal development are required.

Advantages

This water-mixable oil combines the working properties of classic oil paints—slow drying time, smooth blending and robust adhesion—with the convenience of water thinning and easy brush cleaning. The Permanent Yellow Deep offers strong tinting strength and good lightfastness suitable for fine art applications. In addition, the paint is compatible with common water-mixable oil mediums to modify viscosity and gloss without solvents.

Suitable for

• Traditional oil painting techniques such as glazing and layering
• Studio painting and studies where solvent-free thinning is preferred
• Mixed-media works combining oils with water-compatible media
• Plein air painting where easy brush cleanup and portability are important

Key specifications

• Packaging: tube for controlled dispensing

How to use

Dispense the required amount from the tube onto a palette. Thin the paint with water for immediate reductions in viscosity or use water-mixable oil mediums to control flow, drying time and sheen while maintaining oil characteristics. Build layers using conventional fat-over-lean principles: start with leaner mixes (more water or less medium) and progress to richer layers (more oil-based medium) to ensure stable drying. Clean brushes and tools with water and mild soap; for thorough cleaning, use a water-mixable brush cleaner designed for oil paints.

Usage recommendations

Store the tube upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For archival results follow normal oil-painting practices regarding layer build-up and varnishing after complete drying. Avoid using conventional solvents for thinning or cleanup to preserve the water-mixable properties.
