Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour – Cobalt Blue Hue

Experience traditional oil paint with modern water-mixable convenience

Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour in Cobalt Blue Hue offers the deep, rich tones of traditional oil paints with the ease of water clean-up. Made from modified linseed and safflower oils, it allows artists to mix and clean brushes with water without hazardous solvents. It maintains the same properties as conventional oils: opacity, transparency, lightfastness, permanence, and a thick, buttery consistency perfect for beginners and professionals alike.

Safe and environmentally friendly

These paints are ideal for shared studios, classrooms, or home use where solvents are undesirable. Using Artisan mediums and varnishes alongside these paints ensures the mixture remains water-mixable without compromising performance, delivering the classic oil paint experience safely and responsibly.

The timeless beauty of Cobalt Blue

Cobalt Blue Hue is a clean, vibrant blue pigment closely resembling traditional cobalt blue, discovered in 1802 by French chemist Thénard as an affordable alternative to Lapis Lazuli. The result is a deep, intense blue that blends beautifully and offers excellent color performance and durability.
