Schmincke Mussini Artist Oils were developed from a precious and secretly guarded recipe passed to Schmincke in 1881 from Florentine Professor Caesare Mussini. These artist oils use the Old Masters’ knowledge and experience with traditional resin-oil colours.

Whereas most oil colours use only fat oils as binders, Mussini Oil Colours replace excess oils with natural resins (Dammar) in solution. The result is a tension-free and balanced inside/outside drying process which reduces aging and long term cracking. Because of the refraction from resins dispersed throughout the dried colour layers, paintings produced using Mussini colour exhibit an uncommon brilliance and luster.

The Schmincke Mussini range is comprised of 102 colors, with 64 single pigment tones allowing for pure mixtures. Deserving of special mention are the 42 exquisite translucent and semi-translucent tones. Unusually dark tones such as Atrament, and Dove Grey, together with tones such as Cobalt Turquoise, Byzantine Blue, Caesar Purple, Florentine Red, Yellowish Green Ural or Medieval Yellow ably demonstrate the special beauty of these unique resin oils.
