Schmincke Mussini Oil Paint Natural Resin 35ml Alizarin Madder Lake Colour

Cold, rich dark red, produces good glaze effects. Originally an alumina-based colour from alizarin, the main dyestuff contained in the madder plant. Since 1870, alizarin has been obtained and processed into colour by synthetic means.\nPigment: Anthrachinone, AL\nCI number: PR 83:1\nLightfastness: ***\nOn 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.\nThe 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.
