Williamsburg Artist Oil Colors: Courbet Green, 37 ml tube, Professional Semi-Opaque Paint

Product Description

Originating from the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn, Golden Artist Colors, Inc. now proudly produces over one hundred sixty artist-quality oil colors in New Berlin, NY. Known for their exceptional pigment richness, Williamsburg colors deliver not just a striking palette but also varied textures, each offering its unique finish and feel. These oil paints embody the traditional properties expected from fine, hand-crafted products, combined with engineering precision to ensure consistently high color and quality standards. All Williamsburg colors are designed to be lightfast and stable, catering to artists’ needs for durability and dependability.

Exploring Williamsburg's Textures

Achieving superior oil paint quality begins with selecting the right pigments, but much of the final product's excellence stems from the milling process. Each color from Williamsburg is meticulously milled to enhance the vibrancy, luminosity, and distinctive characteristics of the pigment. While some colors maintain a slightly coarse feel, others achieve an exceptionally smooth texture, preserving the traditional variety expected in oil paints. Williamsburg Artist Oil Colors are categorized into four distinct texture types:

1. Silky Smooth - These colors are glossy and exhibit little to no texture.
2. Very Fine Textured - This category includes shades like Cobalt, Phthalo Blues, and Permanent Yellows, Oranges, and Reds.
3. Crafted Cadmium - Williamsburg's Cadmiums are finely milled, producing colors with remarkable density and tinting strength while retaining a smooth finish.
4. Coarse Textured Colors - Examples include Brown Pink and Stil De Grain, which deliver a chunkier feel, allowing light to pass through, revealing rich golden or mahogany undertones instead of flat, dull browns.

Williamsburg Oil Colors are available in both 37 ml and 150 ml sizes, along with various sets such as the Williamsburg Traditional Set and the Williamsburg Landscape Set. Other offerings include the Williamsburg Extender Medium and the Williamsburg Titanium Oil Ground.

Customer satisfaction speaks volumes, with ratings averaging 5.0 out of 5 stars from 11 reviews and 4.7 out of 5 stars from 159 critiques, highlighting the quality and appeal of these colors. Pricing for these exceptional products starts around $16.91, with additional sets and mediums priced accordingly.

Expand Your Artistic Horizons

Williamsburg’s small-batch production process allows for complete control over the product. Every material is measured by hand, and every ounce of paint undergoes rigorous scrutiny. This approach makes it an excellent starting point for artists keen to delve into a traditional color palette. The Williamsburg Landscape Set proves to be a fantastic outdoor palette, enabling artists to replicate the myriad hues, shades, and tints found in nature.

The Williamsburg medium provides an ingenious way to extend oil paint without affecting its consistency, while the Titanium Dioxide- and marble dust-based oil ground offers the ideal amount of tooth and absorbency needed for diverse applications.

Color Characteristics

For example, one featured shade is a deep, bluish earthy green, akin to Indigo, but leaning more towards green. This color is sensitive in mixing; adding just a hint of yellow alters its entire tonal character.

With ASTM Lightfastness rated 1 (Excellent), and a semi-opaque quality relied on pigment combinations such as PR 102 (Calcined Natural Iron Oxide), PB 27 (Sodium Ammonium Ferroferricyanide), and PY 65 (Arylide Yellow RN), these colors have a very fine grind.

Vibrant and Handmade Quality

Each color is expertly formulated to enhance the beauty and luminosity specific to its pigment. Crafted with a dedication to excellence, these professional-grade oil paints are consistently reliable for all artistic endeavors. Proudly made in the USA by an employee-owned company, Williamsburg draws upon over 40 years of experience in creating premium paints for professional artists.
