Classico is a range of Maimeri colours which are made in Italy. Maimeri Classico fine oil colours are versatile, offering an unsurpassed price to quality ratio. They revolutionise the criteria by which a economical (rated “fine”) range is judged. The 74 highly pigmented oil colours are popular with both professionals and students. All colours are lightfast, contain a high average pigmentation, and no waxes or thickeners are used. Classico oils spread like butter right from the tube and dry to a rich satin glow. The benefits include: all colours are one price, a professional colour selection, real cadmium and cobalts used. Formulas are perfected to balance the drying times of all colours.
Bright, lively colours with overall harmony in the palette, Classico colours are made with modern non-toxic, non polluting pigments that improve lightfastness. All colours may be intermixed together in any ratio or proportion, without limits. All this thanks to Maimeri’s vast experience, summed up in an oil line that has proven to be so successful it has become the daily workhorse of a generation of artists.

Hi, please could you tell me what product
is best to clean brushes after using
Maimeri Classico oils? My mother uses
them and so far she has tried turps but the
bristles remain glued together?
Thank you
Hi Michele
All regular oil paints like Maimeri Classico clean from the brush the same, there isn’t a difference between brands.
I am not sure if she has let the oil dry hard in the brush or you just mean that the bristles are a bit sticky and clumpy and won’t come fully clean.
It is important to not let oil paint dry in the bristles because the paint will become hard just like it does on a painting.
If the brush is hard then you can try soaking and rubbing it in solvent and then working Masters Brush Soap into the bristles with a little water. It is the best brush soap for when the bristles have started to get hard. If this doesn’t work then the brush may be ruined.
If she is only having trouble getting it fully clean then she might benefit from a simple brush washing routine at the end of each painting session.
1. clean your brushes before they dry
2. swish and rub in either safflower oil or a solvent – using a brush washing pot to keep the oil or solvent is useful
3. squeeze and wipe out as much oil as possible onto a cloth
4. wash with any brush soap until the bristles are fully flexible
