Cobra Artist Water-Mixable Oil Colour, Potter's Pink 356, 40ml Tube

Cobra Artist Water-Mixable Oil Colour in Potter's Pink 356 is a professional-grade oil paint that provides the rich texture and working properties of traditional oils while eliminating the need for hazardous solvents. This high-quality paint is formulated with high-grade pigments, ensuring excellent lightfastness and color intensity. It is designed to be thinned and cleaned up using only water, offering a safer and more convenient painting experience for artists working in various environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this water-mixable oil paint is its versatility and ease of use. Because it can be thinned with water, artists can avoid the use of toxic solvents like turpentine or white spirit, making it an ideal choice for studios with limited ventilation or for artists sensitive to chemical fumes. Despite its water-mixable nature, the paint retains the buttery consistency and slow drying time characteristic of traditional oil paints, allowing for extensive blending and layering. The high pigment load ensures that colors remain vibrant and resistant to fading over time.

Suitable for

• Professional oil painting on canvas or primed surfaces
• Techniques such as glazing, impasto, and wet-on-wet painting
• Artists working in shared studios or home environments
• Educational settings where solvent use is restricted

This paint may not be suitable for artists who require extremely rapid drying times, as it maintains the traditional slow-drying properties of oil colors. It is also not intended for use with non-porous surfaces that are not properly primed for oil painting.

To use Cobra Artist Water-Mixable Oil Colour, simply squeeze the desired amount onto your palette.

What to consider before purchase

• Consider purchasing water-mixable oil mediums if you wish to alter the drying time or gloss level

Usage recommendations

For the best results, use dedicated water-mixable oil mediums to maintain the paint's unique properties when thinning or extending. Always ensure your brushes are thoroughly cleaned with soap and water immediately after use to maintain their longevity.
