Artist water-mixable oil colour tube, Cobra — Turquoise Blue 522, 40 ml

Cobra Artist water-mixable oil colour in Turquoise Blue 522 (40 ml) is a professional-grade oil paint formulated to be thinned and cleaned with water while retaining the handling, body and drying behaviour of traditional oil colours. The tube format provides convenient storage and controlled dispensing for studio, plein air or travel use. Turquoise Blue 522 delivers a clear, medium-intensity blue-green hue suitable for glazing, impasto and blending techniques and integrates with other water-mixable oils and many water-based media.

Advantages

This water-mixable oil paint combines the tactile qualities and open working time of conventional oils with the practical benefits of water thinning and water-based cleanup. It offers strong pigment strength and good lightfastness typical of artist-grade paints, consistent viscosity for brush and palette knife application, and reduced need for solvents. The formulation supports layering and glazing while allowing straightforward blending and gradual drying characteristics that suit traditional oil techniques.

Suitable for

• Fine art painting in studio and plein air

How to use

Squeeze the desired amount of Turquoise Blue 522 onto the palette and thin with small amounts of water to adjust working consistency, or use dedicated water-mixable mediums to modify flow and drying time. Apply with brushes or palette knives; allow layers to become touch-dry before applying heavier subsequent layers to avoid cracking. Clean brushes and tools with water and mild soap immediately after use. Store the tube tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test compatibility when combining with acrylics or other water-based products and use water-mixable mediums designed for oil painting to control viscosity and drying rate. Maintain fat-over-lean layering: begin with leaner, more water-thinned layers and progress to richer, oil-modified layers to ensure structural stability.
