We introduce a general class of analytically tractable models for the dynamics of an asset price based on the assumption that the asset-price density is given by the mixture of known basic densities. We consider the lognormal-mixture model as a fundamental example, deriving explicit dynamics, closed form formulas for option prices and analytical approximations for the implied volatility function. We then introduce the asset-price model that is obtained by shifting the previous lognormal-mixture dynamics and investigate its analytical tractability. We finally consider a specific example of calibration to real market option data.
