Cobra Painting Medium is a colourless medium that can be mixed with Cobra oil paint to create a smoother and fatter paint. This allows the paint to be spread out easily and the brush stroke to become less distinct. It can be applied in a layered painting technique as well. This painting medium is based on vegetable oils and synthetic resin.
Properties:
- Increases the gloss and transparency of the paint.
- Can be thinned with water.
- Makes the brush stroke run slightly.
- Does not influence the drying time of the paint.
- Increases the durability of the paint film.
- Yellows slightly.

Cobra Glazing Medium is a colourless medium that can be mixed with Cobra oil paint to make your paint flow better. The added amount affects the degree of transparency. This technique – making coloured transparent paint layers without a visible brush stroke – is referred to as glazing. Glazing mediums are very fat and should only be applied in the final layers of a painting. This medium is based on vegetable oils.
Properties:
- Increases the gloss and transparency of the paint.
- Can be thinned with water.
- Makes the brush stroke run slightly.
- Does not influence the drying time of the paint.
- Increases the durability of the paint film.
- Yellows slightly.

Cobra Painting Paste is a colourless medium that can be mixed with Cobra oil paint in any ratio. The paste is as thick as the paint and can therefore be described as a water-mixable oil paint without any pigment. This paste is composed of vegetable oils and thickening agents and has various uses:
Increasing the amount of paint:
Painting paste can be used for impasto techniques (applying pure paint in thick strokes with a painting knife) using more expensive colours, so you can increase the amount of paint without there being difference in colour. The more paste you add, the more transparent the paint becomes. The painting paste also allows thick paint to dry completely to the core, preventing wrinkling or rippling during and after drying.
Decreasing the colour intensity:
The colour intensity of the paint will decrease as more painting paste is added. This may be particularly important with the alla prima (wet-on-wet) technique when mixing colours with a highly divergent colour intensity with one another in your painting. By adding more painting paste to a stronger colour, this becomes less prominent.
Properties:
- Increases the transparency and thickness of the paint.
- Prevents wrinkling of thick layers of paint.
- Retains the degree of gloss.
- Can be thinned with water.
- Does not influence the drying time of the paint.
- Increases the durability of the paint film.
- Yellows slightly.

Cobra Quick Drying Medium is a colourless medium that can be mixed with Cobra oil paint to reduce the drying time of the paint. It also increases the flow and transparency and makes the paint fatter. This quick drying medium is based on vegetable oils, synthetic resins and a siccative.
Properties:
- Shortens the drying time.
- Increases the gloss and transparency of the paint.
- Makes the paint fatter, just like Cobra Painting Medium.
- Can be thinned with water.
- Makes the brush stroke run slightly.
- Increases the durability of the paint film.
- Yellows slightly.

Create your own medium or make your paint fatter with Cobra water-mixable safflower and linseed oil. These oils increase the flow and transparency of the paint.
The difference between them is that linseed oil dries more quickly compared to safflower oil. Due to the drying time, we recommend using linseed oil for the lower layers of your painting. Though linseed oil does yellow slightly over time, it also provides you with a more stable paint film. Safflower oil does not yellow, which makes it best suited for the final layers of your painting.
Properties:
- Water mixable
- Makes the paint fatter
- Makes the brush stroke run slightly
- Increases the flow, gloss and transparency
- Lengthens the drying time of the paint

Cobra water-mixable oil paint can of course be thinned with water, but a thinner can be very useful as well. This solvent-free thinner makes your paint more fluid, leaner and helps it dry more quickly, which makes it especially well-suited for the first layers of your painting.
Properties:
- Can be thinned with water
- Makes paint thinner without using harmful solvents
- Less short-term colour change compared to mixing with water
- Increases transparency
- Makes the brush stroke run slightly
- Gives paint a nicer sheen compared to mixing with water
- Allows paint to dry faster

When working with oil paint, solvents like white spirit are often used to mix and thin the paint. Our mission is to minimise the use of these solvents since they are harmful for your health and the environment. To help artists make the switch from traditional oil paints to water-mixable oil paints, we developed this medium mix.
Add this medium to your left-over traditional oil paints to make them water mixable, so you can mix and thin your paint using just water!
Properties:
- Makes non-water-mixable oil paints water-mixable
- Can be thinned with water
- Makes the brush stroke run slightly
- Makes the paint fatter, thinner
- Increases the gloss and transparency
- Yellows slightly
