Water-mixable oil paints review / Cobra by Royal Talens

We'll be testing water-mixable oil paints. This video is not sponsored but I received these paints from a company.

Sorry for my English, mistakes and that I sound robotic.

My name is Zarina and I'm a self-taught oil painter.
Thank you for watching!

There are some very famous portrait artists that use cobra as their main oil paint.
For those that are curious.
They are incredible and they are NOT a second tier paint. Water mixable means you can clean with water, that doesn’t mean use them like water colors; they are oil paint .

Thank you! I've been having trouble with my acrylic paints and have been thinking of switching to oils. But when I learned more about oil paints and what steps you would need to take I was hesitant. But the I learned about water mixable oil paints and my mind was blown. So, thank you for making a video that talked about your experience :)

Your English is great - Thankyou for all the info, water mixable oils still seem a bit strange - but intriguing!

[glenncheney]

Thank you for the good explanation. I, too, have found Cobra to be the best for me. Mostly it's the creaminess. And I loved the brief moment at exactly 11:00 when your face becomes so real.

Thank you for the great & informative video! Was waiting for an artist I like to talk about water-mixable oil paints and your video actually cleared things up a bit for me!

Hi Zarina, great info. Did you know you can turn your other oil paint into water soluble oil paint too? I had the same situation as you and then i bought Schmincke's Medium W (allows oil colours to be mixed with water instead of with turpentine and linseed oil). Also all the brushes and painting tools that have been used with Medium W mixed oils can be cleaned with soap and water just like the Cobra paint.

Love the paint review, and your beautiful dog.

They look very interesting. Plus fluffy intruder at the end 🥰

This is amazing I love your artwork it’s been on my inspiration boards for months and I just bought a bunch of these paints so I’m so glad I stumbled across this video

[monalisa]

Thank you sooo much for that review! I've been struggling with the smell and brush cleaning process that comes with regular oil paints. I'll definitely try out water mixable oil paints.

Thank you Zarina, excellent review. I’ve been wondering how the chemistry worked between oil/water but like you I didn’t want to go down that rabbit hole I just wanted to avoid the noxious fumes of the traditional oils. You have a beautiful dog, I think he wants to play now!

Good information. I am making the switch over and am trying to understand all the ins and outs. You certainly helped. Love your pup at the end. I do dog portraits...so that was great!!

[JanSandahl]

Thank you! i enjoyed hearing your perspective on this.

Thank you very much for all the information about Cobra water mixable paint. At the end of video reminded me of same situation. I have spent so much money on different paint brands to try finding my favorites. So don't feel alone in that. We all have to go through that spending money and going back to our other paints😅

Thank you for this great review of Cobra paints. I've never tried them for my paintings, but I think I will now!😍

[subhomukherjee]

Thank you so much for this very informative and useful video.

And the doggie is a cutie...😄

[AniVanR]

Thank you so much for the information!! I started with acrylics and now I'm full into oils but I miss the water hahaha Perhaps this is a great option!

[ChimckyNuggy]

Rewatching this again before I order my first batch of Cobra paint. I can't wait until I finally get to use them
