Oil paint tube Cobra Artist Water-Mixable Oil Colour Burnt Umber 409 40 ml

Cobra Artist Water-Mixable Oil Colour Burnt Umber 409 40 ml is a water‑mixable oil paint formulated to offer the working properties of traditional oil colours while allowing thinning and cleaning with water. Presented in a 40 ml tube, this Burnt Umber shade provides a deep, neutral brown with good coverage and is suitable for layering techniques, glazing, impasto and fine brushwork on primed canvas, board or panels. The paint retains the characteristic oil finish and drying behavior of modern oil colours without the need for solvents.

Advantages

This water‑mixable oil paint combines ease of use with the handling properties of conventional oils: it can be thinned and cleaned with water, yet it maintains body and a natural oil sheen. Burnt Umber 409 offers reliable tinting strength and uniform consistency from the tube, enabling smooth blending and controlled brushstrokes. The 40 ml format is convenient for studio use and smaller projects, and the formulation reduces the requirement for solvent-based thinners and cleaners.

Suitable for

• Traditional oil painting techniques such as glazing and glazing layers
• Impasto texture effects and visible brushwork
• Underpainting and mid-tones on primed canvas, board or panels

How to use

Use straight from the tube or thin with clean water to reach the desired working consistency; mix on a palette using water only or in combination with medium specifically designed for water‑mixable oils.

Clean brushes and tools with water while the paint is still wet; allow painted layers to dry fully between applications in accordance with normal oil-paint drying times.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, test drying times on your chosen support and allow sufficient curing time for thicker layers. Use mediums formulated for water‑mixable oils when increased gloss, flow or extended open time is required. Store tubes upright in a cool, dry place away from direct heat.
