Schmincke Mussini Artist Oil Paint 35 ml Series 3 365 Translucent Red Oxide

Series 3 365 Translucent Red Oxide Mussini Finest Artists' Oil Color. A high-quality oil color, Mussini stands out worldwide for its unique quality, being an oil color that contains natural resin as a binder. It is produced based on the formulas of history’s famous painting masters. The Mussini series consists of 101 colors and 7 gold tones. Of these colors, 64 are composed of a single pigment, possessing the highest possible level of vibrancy, brilliance, and purity. Therefore, it is an artists' series with a very wide variety of pure, single-pigment colors. The series also includes 42 exquisite and elegant translucent colors. The pigments are of premium artist quality and have the highest possible pigment density. Lightfastness and permanence are also at the highest level, as with all Schmincke artists' colors. The drying process is balanced and occurs at the same rate throughout the paint layer. When applied to the painting surface, Mussini colors create a permanent and tension-resistant paint layer. The Mussini series is offered in 108 colors in 35 ml tubes and 32 colors in 150 ml tubes. Standing out all over the world with its unique texture, quality, and characteristics, Mussini oil colors 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 the present day—as well as the careful selection of pigments and the use of natural resins as binders. The Mussini series possesses all 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, smooth, buttery consistency. Mussini is manufactured by incorporating only the finest traditional pigments and some state-of-the-art pigments at the highest possible density per unit volume. Mixtures made with these paints lose none of their brilliance and produce results as good as paints made from single pure pigments. Composed only of high-quality pigments and natural binders such as linseed oil, safflower oil, and damar 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 colors result from the evaporation of the solvent content of the natural resin while the oil-based components absorb oxygen and increase in volume, causing the paint layer to contract and shrink ideally. This balanced drying process occurs uniformly throughout the paint layer, creating a tension-resistant paint layer with guaranteed permanence. Schmincke Mussini series oil colors can be mixed extremely easily with Schmincke's other oil colors (Norma Professional, Akademi, and College series) and oil painting mediums to achieve creative tones.
