Water Mixable oils comparison - Daniel Smith, Cobra Artist and Artisan
I am by no means a professional artist, but as i said in the video this is a video i wished i had when i was chosing a WMO brand.
Hope it can help anyone looking to get into water mixable oils :)

I would prefer you paint something and share how you liked the experience
Very helpful thank you very much for the tests 😊
TY
Thank you so much for making this video! Super helpful. I'm gonna give the cobra paints a try. Another popular brand is the ones from daler rowney ("Georgian"), do you have any experience with those?
Daniel sanity Matt have a larger pigment load. It would be good to see the opacity and covering power. Perhaps showing us over an umber or black. That would be very fine. Thank you. You are good.
Very helpful and informative 👍
I use Cobra, it is a good paint, but some colours aren't as pigmented as the Rembrandt line. I have some Holbein colours: titanium white, manganese violet and raw umber. They are a little stiffer than Cobra, but I never had oil separation with them, I use the Holbein white exclusively.
Thanks for demonstrating the differences…the only thing which might help, too, would be to know if you like to paint thick impasto or thin and transparent ..and if you like to ‘lift’ colors to lighten or if you prefer to add white to make the color lighter. I mention this because you didn’t like the ‘stiff’ Daniel Smith white but for many painters who don’t tend to mix white into their colors but, rather, use if as the very lightest part of the painting and often only with a bit of some yellow mixed into it-then the stiffness would be good as it would make a thicker application of the ‘lights’ easier.
I was wondering which brands to order and this video has made the choice so much easier, thank you!
thank you so much! this was so helpful! I've been trying to find a video like this. :D
Im glad you found it helpful 😀
Yeah, I find the Artisan to be too stiff for me. I love working with the oils, but the Artisan are hard for me to work with so I'm going to try Cobra next.
I'm not sure if it's just that one, but I bought a tube of Daniel Smith yellow ochre, and it's incredibly runny. The oil medium doesn't seem to have been properly mixed with the pigment, and even with the lid on it tends to leak. The paint slides on my glass palette too. I'm not seeing much difference between W&N and Cobra, and so far I'm painting with 95% W&N without any medium, and I love it.
@@NicolasConnault My experience with Daniel Smith and to some extent Cobra is that some tubes have excess oil when first opened. To remove the excess oil, I use a tissue to sop up the excess oil before applying to my pallet. This solves the issue for me. I use only the same brand mediums for each paint brand. E.g. Daniel Smith mediums with Daniel Smith paints. I’ve had bad luck using cross brand mediums and paints. Generally speaking, I find the Cobra paints are more runny than the Daniel Smith paints. (I believe that this is because the Daniel Smith paints have more pigment). Trying to match the flow between the two withOUT a medium is not a good comparison. Cobra paints require far less medium - maybe just a drop or two. For Daniel Smith paints, I find it much better to use at least a little medium and more than with Cobra. This will improve flow significantly and does not affect the color. Overall and based on my limited sample, I like the Daniel Smith water mixable paints better. That said, I’m keeping both and am choosing the one that fits the specific painting needs better. I.e. use both.
so show us your paintings!
thanks! good tests ... I would think the style of painting would make a difference ... the DS might be better for Bob Ross style or knife painting, as those need stiffer paints
I’ve heard there is usually a big difference in consistency with water mixable oils. It looks like the Cobra paint has the greatest consistency between colors. I’ve been looking and researching water mixable oils and I think I’m going to go with Cobra 🐍.
Stop spamming my comment!!
@Commendatore Artist quality is always better than student quality. They usually have higher quality pigments, a higher pigment load and less filler. The range of colours is usually bigger too.
Thank you, I’ll be picking up a few of the cobra!
I ordered a set of cobra today. I usually only paint with water color, but I really wanted to get back into oils, because I like working from dark to light. These water mixable oils are perfect for me :) I also ordered the cobra wm medium, really exited to see how it performs.
Happy to hear you decided to try :) I would however suggest you do a painting without any medium first tho :) These are very soft, so really not that necessery with mediums :) I do like their fast dry medium tho, when i want it to dry a bit quicker :)
@@DizoriaN I see :) have you tried water or linseed oil?
TNtogo I have. Linseed oil works great aswell, it just takes a bit longer to dry. I dont use water exept for cleaning my brushes. :)
thank you so much for this video! I've been agonizing over which brands to try out, and I can't afford trial and error. This is exactly the sort of information I was looking for. Much appreciated.
You are very much welcome :) Please let me know what u think when u have gotten to try out your choice :)
The idea is very good but you could make it much more focused. Its a bit too slow for my temperament. It might be a help to write a short info on the three brands you have chosen .... And go directly to a simple painting exersize and then comparing the results And conclude on your experience - Iwhat felt the best for you and what you liked the best and why.
Thanks for the input. :) Might do a updated video in the future.
