Series 4 346 Madder Lake Dark 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 famous historical masters of painting. The Mussini series consists of 101 colors and 7 gold tones. 64 of these colors are single-pigment colors, possessing the highest possible levels of vibrancy, brilliance, and purity. Therefore, it is an artist series with a remarkably wide variety of pure, single-pigment colors. Additionally, 42 of the colors in the series are exquisite and elegant semi-transparent types. The pigments are of premium artist quality and feature the highest possible pigmentation density. 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 speed throughout the paint layer. When applied to the painting surface, Mussini colors create a permanent and tension-resistant paint film. The Mussini series is available in 108 colors in 35 ml tubes and 32 colors in 150 ml tubes. Distinguished worldwide for 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 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 all the most important features that painters look for in oil colors worldwide, such as brilliant color radiance, 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 at the highest possible density per unit. Mixtures made with these paints lose none of their brilliance and produce results as good as those of single-pigment paints. 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 quality of raw materials. The superior drying characteristics of Mussini series oil colors result from the evaporation of the solvent content in the natural resin as the oily components of the paint absorb oxygen and expand in volume, allowing the paint layer to shrink ideally. This balanced drying process occurs uniformly across the entire paint layer, creating a tension-resistant paint film 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.
