Schmincke Mussini Artist Oil Paint 35 ml Series 5 487 Manganese Cerulean Blue

Series 5 487 Manganese Cerulean Blue Mussini Finest Artist Oil Color. Mussini is a high-quality oil paint 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, possessing the highest possible level of vibrancy, brilliance, and purity. Therefore, it is an artist series with an exceptionally wide range of pure, single-pigment colors. The series also includes 42 colors that are of an exclusive and elegant semi-transparent type. The pigments are of premium artist quality and possess the highest possible pigment density. Lightfastness and permanence are also at the highest level, as with all Schmincke artist-grade paints. The drying process is balanced and occurs at the same rate throughout the paint layer. When applied to the painting surface, Mussini paints create a permanent and tension-resistant paint layer. The Mussini series is available in 108 colors in 35 ml tubes and 32 colors in 150 ml tubes. Standing out worldwide with its unique texture, quality, and characteristics, Mussini oil paints 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 used by old masters that have been 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 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, 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 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 damar resin, these paints owe their characteristics—such as excellent light refraction, enhanced vibrancy, brilliance, and extraordinarily durable color layers—to this raw material quality. 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 portions of the paint absorb oxygen and increase in volume, thus causing the volume of the paint layer to 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 mixed extremely easily with Schmincke's other oil paints (Norma Professional, Akademi, and College series) and oil painting mediums to achieve creative tones.
