Schmincke MUSSINI Artists Resin Oil Colour (Part 2)

The high luminosity, the best light fastness of all colours and the pleasant consistency of the paint are highly valued by oil painters all over the world. Schmincke only use the best traditional and some newly developed artists' pigments in maximum concentration. The individual compositions of the pigments with traditional binders such as linseed oil, safflower oil and sunflower oil and parts of the best natural resin Damar solution provide excellent light refraction properties, increased luminosity and particularly durable colour layers. 

The excellent drying properties of Mussini resin-oil colours come from the fact that the oil parts of the colours increase in volume by absorbing oxygen, while the solvents of the natural resin solution evaporate, thus ensuring a shrinkage in volume. These balancing processes create tension-free and even drying of the colour layers and thus guarantee the longevity of the painting.
