Oil Colour Talens Cobra Artist Water 40 ml — pigment code 567 (water-mixable oil paint)

Talens Cobra Artist Water 40 ml, pigment code 567, is a water-mixable oil colour that combines the working properties of traditional oil paint with the convenience of water thinning and cleanup. Supplied in a 40 ml tube, this artist-grade paint delivers the viscosity, gloss and blending behaviour typical of oil colour while allowing dilution and brush cleaning with water rather than solvents. The formulation is suitable for use on canvas, panel and other primed surfaces and is compatible with conventional oil painting techniques and many mixed-media applications.

Advantages

This water-mixable oil paint provides the rich handling and extended open time associated with oil colours while enabling water thinning and simple cleaning of brushes. It maintains good pigment intensity and brushstroke definition, supports smooth glazing and blending, and reduces the need for solvents in studio practice. The 40 ml tube format is convenient for both studio use and outdoor studies, offering consistent flow and predictable drying behaviour.

Suitable for

• Fine-art oil painting on primed canvas and panels
• Studies, plein air sketching and colour exploration

How to use

Apply Talens Cobra Artist Water directly from the tube or mix on a palette to achieve the desired consistency. Thin or blend the paint using water in small amounts to retain body, or combine with approved water-mixable oil mediums when increased flow or gloss is required. Clean brushes and tools with water and mild soap after use. Allow painted layers to dry thoroughly before applying additional layers; drying times depend on layer thickness, pigment and environmental conditions.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use primed and properly prepared supports and work in thin to medium layers to ensure even drying. When mixing with other media, prefer water-mixable oil mediums to maintain compatibility. Store tubes upright in a cool, dry place and reseal tightly after use to preserve the paint’s consistency.
