The Textures of Williamsburg Colors

Obtaining the right pigments is just the first step in producing high-quality oil paints. The milling process plays a crucial role in the overall quality of the paint. Williamsburg takes great care in milling each color to enhance its beauty, luminosity, and individual character. Some colors may have a slightly coarse texture, while others are exceptionally smooth, showcasing the wide range of traditional texture differences found in oil colors. Williamsburg categorizes their artist oil colors into four texture categories:

1. Silky smooth textures with a glossy finish and minimal hint of texture.
2. Very fine textures, including Cobalts, Phthalo Blues, and Permanent Yellows, Oranges, and Reds.
3. Fine-grade milled Cadmiums, which create colors with exceptional density and tinting strength while maintaining a smooth consistency.
4. Coarse textures found in certain colors like Brown Pink and Stil De Grain, offering a chunky or gritty feel that allows light to pass through the paint and reveal rich golden or mahogany undertones.

In addition to their range of colors, Williamsburg also offers various sizes and sets:

• Available in 37 ml and 150 ml volumes
• Williamsburg Traditional Set
• Williamsburg Landscape Set
• Williamsburg Extender Medium
