Schmincke : Akademie Oil Paint

Schmincke Akademie Oil Paint is a fine artists' oil color range containing quality artists' pigments in high concentration, with excellent lightfastness (4 and 5 stars only). Brilliant shades can be obtained in mixtures due to the large number of single-pigment colors. With Akademie Oil Paint, Schmincke offers a harmonious color range for beginners and heavy users. High luminosity, a harmonious coloristic with translucent to opaque colors, are only some of the main features of this color range.

Due to a balanced formulation using premium linseed oil (or sunflower oil for the white shades), Akademie oil colors offer a fast and uniform drying time throughout the range. Akademie Oil Paints have a heavy body consistency for expressive brushwork and can also be thinned with water for smoother applications and flowing washes.

Akademie Oil Paints can be combined and mixed with other oil colors and customized using Schmincke oil painting mediums.
