Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike many commercial brands that use beeswax or animal-derived stearates to maintain consistency, Maimeri Puro uses only pure oil and pigment. This results in a much higher brilliance and a more predictable mixing experience than student-grade or filler-heavy professional brands. The use of non-yellowing oils ensures that 2026 masterpieces remain as vibrant as the day they were painted.

How to use it

1. Squeeze a small amount onto a glass or wooden palette; a little goes a long way due to the pigment density.
2. Mix with artist-grade linseed or safflower oil to achieve your desired flow and transparency.
3. Apply to a double-primed vegan canvas for the best archival results.
4. Clean brushes using natural plant-based solvents rather than harsh turpentine.
5. Allow paintings to cure for 6-12 months before applying a final varnish.

Frequently asked questions

Is Maimeri Puro Oil Paint worth the premium price?

Yes, the high pigment concentration means you use significantly less paint to achieve the same coverage as cheaper brands. This makes the cost-per-painting more efficient for professional work.

Does this paint contain beeswax?

No, Maimeri Puro is formulated without beeswax or animal fats, making it 100% vegan-friendly. Most professional oils use wax for consistency, so this is a rare find for ethical artists.

How long does it take for Maimeri Puro to dry?

Drying times vary by pigment, but most colors are touch-dry within 3 to 5 days under standard 2026 studio conditions. Titanium White specifically dries slightly slower due to the safflower oil binder.

Is this paint lightfast?

Every color in the Puro range is rated for maximum lightfastness to ensure your artwork does not fade over time. They are tested against rigorous museum standards.
