Schmincke Mussini Artist Oil Paint 150 ml Series 2 478 Indigo

Series 2 478 Indigo Mussini Finest Artists' Oil Color High-quality oil color Mussini stands out all over the world for its unique quality; it is an oil color containing natural resin as a binder. It is produced based on the formulas of history's famous masters of painting. The Mussini series features 101 colors and 7 gold tones. 64 of these colors are single-pigment colors with the highest possible level of vibrancy, brilliance, and purity. Therefore, it is an artist series with a very wide variety of pure, single-pigment colors. The series also includes 42 exquisite and elegant semi-transparent colors. The pigments are of premium artist quality and have the highest possible pigmentation density. Its lightfastness and permanence are also at the highest level, as with all Schmincke artist series paints. The drying process is balanced and occurs at the same rate throughout the paint layer. When applied to the painting surface, Mussini paints form a durable and tension-resistant paint film. In the Mussini series, 108 colors are presented in 35 ml tubes, and 32 colors are available in 150 ml tubes. Mussini oil paints, which stand out globally for their unique texture, quality, and characteristics, were born from the centuries-old experience of the Italian painting tradition and are named after Professor Cesare Mussini, who worked at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts. The eye-catching color quality of the Mussini series stems from its production using the basic oil painting techniques of old masters preserved to this day, as well as the careful selection of pigments and the use of natural resins as a binder. The Mussini series possesses all the most important features that painters worldwide look for in oil paints, such as the brilliant luminosity of the color, the highest level of lightfastness, and a pleasant, soft, buttery consistency. Mussini is manufactured by incorporating only the best traditional pigments and some state-of-the-art pigments into the production process at the highest possible density per unit volume. Mixtures made with these paints lose none of their brilliance and yield results as good as paints consisting of a single pure pigment. Consisting only of high-quality pigments and natural binders such as linseed oil, safflower oil, and dammar resin, these paints owe their characteristics—such as excellent light refraction, enhanced vibrancy, brilliance, and extraordinarily durable color layers—to this quality of raw materials. The superior drying properties of Mussini series oil paints result from the evaporation of the solvent content of the natural resin while the oil-based parts of the paint absorb oxygen and increase in volume, thus causing the volume of the paint layer to retract and shrink ideally. This balanced drying process occurs uniformly throughout the paint layer, creating a tension-resistant and permanently guaranteed paint film. Schmincke Mussini series oil paints can be mixed extremely easily with Schmincke's other oil paints (Norma Professional, Akademi, and College series) and oil painting mediums to achieve creative tones.
