Schmincke Mussini Artist Oil Paint 35 ml Series 3 497 Translucent Turquoise

Series 3 497 Translucent Turquoise Mussini Finest Artist Oil Color. Mussini is a high-quality oil color that has distinguished itself worldwide with its unique quality, containing natural resin as a binder. It is produced based on the formulas of history's famous painting masters. The Mussini series features 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 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 pigmentation density. Lightfastness and permanence are at the highest level, as with all Schmincke artist series paints. The drying process is balanced and occurs at the same speed throughout the paint layer. When applied to the painting surface, Mussini paints form a durable 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 centuries of experience in 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 being produced using the fundamental oil painting techniques of the old masters, which have been preserved to the present 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 around the world look for in oil paints, 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 best traditional pigments and some state-of-the-art pigments into the production process at the highest possible density per unit amount. Mixtures made with these paints lose none of their brilliance and produce results as good as paints consisting of a single pure pigment. Consisting solely 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, causing the paint layer to contract and shrink optimally. This balanced drying process occurs uniformly throughout the paint layer, creating a tension-resistant paint layer with guaranteed permanence. Schmincke Mussini series oil paints can be extremely easily mixed with Schmincke's other oil paints (Norma Professional, Akademie, and College series) and oil painting mediums to achieve creative tones.
