The Williamsburg line is renowned for its rich pigmentation, with each color showcasing a unique finish and texture.

Featuring the traditional properties expected from premium handmade oil paints, Williamsburg colors are meticulously engineered to ensure consistent color matching and high-quality standards.

Unique Textures of Williamsburg Colors

While obtaining the right pigments is crucial, the milling process significantly influences the overall quality of oil paint. Each Williamsburg color undergoes meticulous milling to reveal the pigment's beauty, luminosity, and distinctive character. The range of textures varies, with some colors exhibiting a slightly coarse feel while others feel exceptionally smooth, preserving the rich tradition associated with diverse oil paint textures.

Williamsburg Artist Oil Colors are categorized into four distinct texture groups. The "Silky Smooth" category comprises colors that are glossy with minimal textural hints. Very fine textured options include the vibrant Cobalts, Phthalo Blues, and Permanent Yellows, Oranges, and Reds. The Cadmium paints are finely milled to achieve outstanding density and tinting strength while maintaining a consistently smooth application. In creating many Earth colors, special care is taken to avoid excessive milling, preserving the pigment's texture and allowing the crystalline features of the minerals to shine through, resulting in a captivating contrast of rich masstones and radiant undertones. Some colors, such as Brown Pink and Stil De Grain, exhibit a coarser texture, leading to a chunky or gritty experience that permits light to penetrate through the paint medium, revealing magnificent golden or mahogany undertones instead of dull, flat browns.
