Description
Mussini Oil paints are made with a variety of artists' oils and dammar resin. The oil is combined with the resin in a colloidal solution, which allows for more even drying and reduces the risk of wrinkling and surface tension. The oil is also made with microscopic evaporation pores, which allows for more effective oxygen penetration and better drying.
The classical royal blue was introduced under King Louis XIV of France, based on a cobalt pigment. The king's blue was light, corresponding roughly to a green tinged sky blue, similar to our royal blue light.

On the basis of many years of scientific experience in the field of artists' colours, Schmincke continues to use a broad and diverse scope of artists' oils, which it combines with the most suitable natural dammar resin from Palembang, Indonesia. The amount of dammar resin which is added in colloidal solution depends on the oil requirements of the pigment concerned. The use of different variants of linseed oil purified by means of highly sophisticated processes also predominates in the Mussini artists' resin-oil-colours.The microscopic evaporation pores enable oxygen to penetrate more effectively into the inner layers, thus providing for more even drying of the surface and inner layers. This, in turn, reduces the danger of wrinkling and surface tension during the drying process.
