"Rinascimento" Renaissance Oil Colours by Maimeri
This line of oil colours have been “re-developed” to offer the modern painter the tonalities of the Master Artists of the Italian Renaissance – in paint composition, in pigment size and the use of rare semi-drying oils that are non-yellowing and crystal clear. These are coarsely ground oil colours not finely ground as modern oil colours, so the application (either with a brush or palette knife) and end result, are different due to the larger size of the pigment particles. Each colour has a high pigment concentration and is prepared with grain size and dispersion in walnut oil similar to those of Renaissance compositions. Most of the pigments in this range correspond to the originals; however the more toxic, unstable and hard to mix pigments have been replaced with modern alternatives.
There are 11 colours in the range in 3 series. 40ml tubes. See Colour Chart

"Terre Grezze" Italian Natural Earth Oil Colours by Maimeri
These 11 Italian Natural Earth colours have been created from the ancient pigments used to decorate the monuments and facades of palaces throughout Italy and are reflected in colours of Roman houses, Venetian palaces and of the Umbrian and Tuscan hill-towns. The composition of this range is similar to those of the shades used by the old masters Tiziano, Tiepolo and others. Although the milled grain size of the dispersed pigments is larger than for other Classico colours, natural earth oil colours can be used alone or mixed with any oil colour to produce a denser, full-bodied oil colour that appears to give a more opaque, natural tone due to a different refraction of light. Italian Natural Earth colours are not only for traditional techniques but also satisfy the needs of contemporary artistic expression.
Available 60ml tubes only. See Colour Chart

"Mediterraneo" Mediterranean Oil Colours by Maimeri
Throughout history, the Mediterranean has been a place that has united cultures and civilisations and, along with it, colours and tints that are unique to this beautiful area. The colours in this range are especially suited for warm, bright and luminous paintings. The grain (pigment particle) size of these colours is larger than for other oil colours and the paste density thicker, with brush strokes accentuated so it is recommended that hard-bristle, ox hair or synthetic brushes are used to get the best results. These colours can be thinned with Walnut or Safflower oil but not with traditional solvent thinners (eg White Spirit, Turpentine) as they weaken the paste. To achieve the best results with these colours it is recommended by the manufacturers to prepare the canvas with uniform, soft coats of pastel pink or yellowish pink obtained with ochre or the Italian Natural Earth colours.
There are 11 colours in the range in 60ml tubes. See Colour Chart
