What is Cobra?

Cobra is an oil paint and like all oil paints, it consists of pigment, and a drying oil, linseed oil. Cobra does not contain water, it can be mixed with water.

Working with Cobra water-mixable oil paint is appealing because you don't have to use any white spirit. Brushes and palette knives can simply be cleaned with soap and water.
