Schmincke Mussini Verona Green Earth 640 Oil Paint 35 ml

Imitation of the prime Terra Verde earths from Baldo near Verona, which are no longer available. Ideal for producing the “Verdaccio” effect, the green priming coat applied to the main areas in portrait colouring. Pigment: Hydrated chromium-oxide green-Red iron oxide. 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.

Mussini artists' natural resin-oil colours are unique throughout the world. Following the traditions of the Italian Art School - they are named after Professor Cesare Mussini, of the Academy of Fine Art in Florence and adopt his long-standing formulations using only the best traditional artists' pigments along with several newly developed pigments - in the highest possible concentrations. This is a fabulous range of 108 colour tones - including 64 single pigments enabling pure mixtures and 42 exquisite translucent and semi-translucent tones. The exceptional brilliance and optimum light - fastness of the individual colour tones, and their 'pasty' consistency, make the oils extremely pleasant to apply.
