Cobra Water Mixable Artist Oil Paints

Cobra is Royal Talens’ line of water-mixable oil colours. Cobra is a professional oil paint with the same high-quality pigments and viscosity you know and love, without having to use harmful solvents. Your workspace can now be free of solvents like turpentine, as the only thing you need to dilute Cobra is water!

Cobra Artist is an artists’ quality water-mixable oil paint with an exceptionally high degree of pigmentation. Only the very best pigments and oils are used to create these colours.

During the grinding process, the paint is ground on the triple roller mill until it reaches an artists’ quality fineness.
The range consists of 70 transparent, semi-transparent, semi-opaque and opaque colours. They all have the highest degree of lightfastness (+++) and will remain unchanged for at least 100 years under museum conditions. The range includes 32 mono-pigmented colours, including ten colours based on exclusive pigments – such as cadmiums, cobalt and chromium oxides – as well as a beautifully transparent oxide red or yellow.

How is it possible that oil paint can be mixed with water?

To allow oil and water to mix, an additive is needed. This additive helps to form a stable blend of small oil droplets in water. This blend is called an emulsion. The additive is known as an emulsifier.
