Maimeri Classico Oil Paints

Exceptional quality and pigment concentration, at a single price point!

Known for their exceptional professional paints, Italian paint maker Maimeri designed Classico Oil Paints to provide all painters the highest quality, most pigmented oils, even going as far to use real cadmiums and cobalts. Manufactured using the finest linseed oil, the superior line of Classico Oils are produced without waxes, fillers, or adulterants that even lower end, popular “professional” oil brands are full of! The finely ground, heavily loaded colors have a fantastic thick body and short tack for the ultimate painting experience.

Like Their Puro counterparts, Classico whites are blended with non-yellowing oils (safflower oil) to retain their brightness and purity. Unlike other manufacturers that boast “real” cadmiums and cobalts (which can be as low as only a few percent), Classico’s authentic cadmium pigments are in a concentration between 20% and 25%. This perfect combination of modern and traditional pigments excels with color mixing and learning color theory, rather than using cheap, poor quality student brands full of fillers and little pigment.

Perfect for discriminating students and amateur painters, Classico also has remarkable appeal for the professional oil painter, especially those working large scale that go through large amounts of paint. Classico’s high pigment load extends further than other comparably priced brands, making it a great value for painters needing larger tube sizes. With a range of 77 colors, Classico comes in large 60ml and 200ml tubes at a single price point for each size. Of the 77 colors, an amazing 73 have the highest degree of light stability, allowing you to paint with confidence, knowing the archival nature of your painting materials.
