Maimeri Artisti 60ml

The qualities of the components and workmanship that go into Artisti oils combine harmoniously to yield a product that represents the best of both tradition and innovation. The impastos offer the average drying rate typical of oil painting to permit optimum use of blending and allow the artist to take up the paints again and continue work. The line offers a vast palette of 106 colours, including a number of authentic historical pigments such as Flake White and Zinc White, Aureolin and true SiennaEarth, Prussian Blue, Manganese Violet, and Bitumen. Maimeri's decision to continue producing valuable classic pigments which are all but impossible to find these days means that the artist must comply with the ancient basic rules of mixing. The less lightfast pigments, and especially those which are hazardous to the health, have recently been replaced with synthetic pigments guaranteeing comparable colour purity with improved stability and safety. The few colours still considered to some degree damaging to the health, obviously to be used with due precautions, are always marked with the "harmful" symbol.
