The warm tones of Italy&rsquo;s earth!   Maimeri&rsquo;s Italian Natural Earth Oil Colors are created with pigments of antique origin that historically characterized not only the regional schools of painting throughout Italy but also the facades of palaces and monuments in Italian city centers. They encompass the colors of Roman houses, Venetian palaces, and Umbrian and Tuscan hill towns.   Only a few decades ago, Italy was the main producer of earth pigments for use by industry and artisans. Today&rsquo;s color vocabulary still contains widely known color names that include Siena Yellow, Umber, Venetian Red, Pozzuoli Red, Herculanum, Rome Black, and Green Earth from Verona. These are the considerations that led Maimeri to add a new range of Italian Natural Earths to its Classico Extrafine Oil Color series.   Even throughout the production process, the 11 natural shades in the Italian Natural Earths line retain their ancient formulation. The grain size of the dispersed pigment is larger, the paste is denser, the appearance is more opaque due to a different light refraction, the tone is more natural, and the applied paint coat is thicker than traditional oil paints.   Despite the fact that the pigment grain size and milling process are different from that used to make other oil colors, Italian Natural Earths can be mixed with these oil colors, and confer to the paste a denser and more material aspect. Slight variances in the product are a guarantee of the authenticity and natural origin of the colors, which do not contain additional colorants.

In today's technology-driven world, what does it mean to &quot;look at a picture&quot;?   It means something very different from only a decade ago. Instead of holding a piece of Kodak paper and viewing the reflected image, invariably &quot;looking at a picture&quot; now often means turning on a smartphone screen or an iPad or a laptop and seeing a very different, backlit image.   To recognize and celebrate the way our brains perceive and process this new way of seeing color, Maimeri embarked on an ambitious project to bring this intense color experience to the artist's palette.   Originally conceived as an acrylic project, it soon became apparent that an acrylic resin could not provide the brightness and intensity that was necessary for the concept, so a finely tuned mixture of traditional oils became the vehicle of choice. The result is Maimeri HD Oils, an extremely bright collection of 29 transparent colors, all lightfast except for the two fluorescent colors.   For the first time in Maimeri's  color-making  history, all of the colors have names in the English language only, reflecting a modern,  hi-tech  take on color intended to entice younger artists to experiment with oil paint.   Unless painting in thick layers, Olio HD can be expected to dry under normal conditions in 24 to 48 hours.   In keeping with Maimeri's commitment to being environmentally responsible, Olio HD tubes are 100% recyclable Coex plastic with transparent areas so that the paint color can be readily seen by the artist.

Oil and pure pigment, nothing else.   The product of a dream and outstanding technical achievement, the colors in Maimeri&rsquo;s Puro line are the most advanced and yet the most traditional of oil colors.   Restoring the outstanding simplicity and quality of original oil colors to paint formulas: that was the dream of painter and paint manufacturer Gianni Maimeri, though his dream would not take concrete form as paste in a tube until three generations later.   By striving for simplicity and purity, and employing years of technical expertise, Maimeri's company came up with formulas for the colors in the Puro range one by one. Using the best-quality non-yellowing safflower-poppy seed oils and stable pigments that require no additives to produce a perfect impasto, Puro combines top quality, the perfect manufacturing process, and the correct balance between pigment and binder.   Squeeze a tube of Maimeri Puro, and you're squeezing the very idea of oil colors.
