Schmincke Mussini Artist Oil Paint 150 ml Series 2 785 Bluish Grey 2

Series 2 785 Bluish Grey 2 Mussini Finest Artist Oil Color. Mussini is a high-quality oil color that stands out worldwide for its unique quality, containing natural resin as a binder. It is produced based on the formulas of famous historical masters of painting. The Mussini series consists of 101 colors and 7 gold tones. 64 of these colors are single-pigment colors, offering the highest possible level of vibrancy, brilliance, and purity. Therefore, it is an artist series with a remarkably 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. Lightfastness and permanence are also at the highest level, as is the case with all Schmincke artist-grade paints. The drying process is balanced and occurs at the same rate throughout the entire paint layer. When applied to the painting surface, Mussini paints form a permanent and tension-resistant paint film. In the Mussini series, 108 colors are available in 35 ml tubes, while 32 colors are offered in 150 ml tubes. Mussini oil colors, 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 the use of basic oil painting techniques preserved from the old masters, as well as the careful selection of pigments and the use of natural resins as binders. The Mussini series possesses the most important features that painters around the world look for in oil colors, 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 along with some state-of-the-art pigments, ensuring the highest possible pigment density per unit. Mixtures made with these paints lose none of their brilliance and produce results as excellent as those obtained with single pure pigments. Composed solely of high-quality pigments and natural binders such as linseed oil, safflower oil, and dammar resin, these paints owe their excellent light-refracting properties, enhanced vibrancy, brilliance, and extraordinarily durable color layers to this raw material quality. The superior drying properties of Mussini series oil colors result from the evaporation of the solvent content of the natural resin while the oil-based components absorb oxygen and expand in volume, allowing the paint layer to shrink and settle ideally. This balanced drying process occurs uniformly throughout the paint layer, creating a tension-resistant and permanently guaranteed paint film. Schmincke Mussini series oil colors can be easily mixed with other Schmincke oil colors (Norma Professional, Akademi, and College series) and oil painting mediums to create creative tones.
