Its the french spelling for turquoise.

Hi @Mathieu Dubois, Thanks for your mail. We would ask you to get in touch with our lab - laborteam@schmincke.de. My colleagues would be happy to help you. Thanks in advance. Best regards

Mussini, Old Holland (expensive), Blockx, Vasari (expensive), Michael Harding...

I've been using Schmincke Mussini now exclusively since 1995. Since I use glazes, a little goes a long way, which reduces my over all cost (in fact, I am STILL using the same tubes I bought twenty-three years ago!). Of the three choices it is of middling to high cost, yet it is a premium quality paint that rivals Old Holland. (If you want a more opaque paint, I would highly recommend Schmincke's premium Norma brand of oils.) Old Holland is the most expensive of the three and is extremely stiff straight from the tube. undoubtedly, part of that cost is the label and the cachet that it carries. However, the quality is very high and if you plan to reduce the paint with mediums, you'll get even better mileage from Old Holland than Schmincke Mussini. If you use impasto techniques extensively and you want to paint with Old Holland, either inherit a fortune or else file for bankruptcy - it's way too expensive for most artists. Winsor & Newton is of decent, reliable quality and it has the lowest cost compared to the former three brands. If you are just starting to experiment with oils and cost is an issue, I would choose W&N.

The artist who uses them

Dear Ryan, this clip is about our two finest artists oil colours, the features of both are mentioned but as MUSSINI has outstanding properties and many people ask us what is so special about MUSSINI, this film mentions the add ons of this resin oil colours and explains the effects of the resin inside mre detailed. Our Norma is a high end pure oil colour, for further information you can look here: www.schmincke.de/en/products/oil-colours/norma-professional.html About the pronounciation: turquoise comes from French and the pronounciation is correct. Suzi as a British artist works with these colours since she studied art and knows very well not only the colours but also the names. Maybe there are other pronounciations in other places i the world, but this way is totally correct! Best regards!
