Williamsburg Iridescents Set for Artists by GOLDEN
Category: williamsburg oil paints
Product Overview
Originating from Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood, Golden Artist Colors, Inc. now produces over 160 artist-quality oil colors at its facility in New Berlin, NY. The Williamsburg palette stands out for its extraordinary richness in pigmentation, where each hue possesses its unique finish and tactile quality. This results in not just a broad spectrum of colors but also a diverse array of textures. With more traditional working characteristics inherent in fine handmade oil paints, Williamsburg colors are engineered to ensure consistency in quality and coloration.
Exploring the Textures of Williamsburg Colors
Achieving the right pigments is merely the starting point; much of the excellence in oil paint can be attributed to the meticulous milling process. Each color from Williamsburg is thoughtfully milled to enhance the pigment's inherent beauty, luminosity, and character. Some shades may have a subtle coarseness, while others offer an exceptionally smooth finish, maintaining the extensive variety of textures typical of oil colors.
Williamsburg Artist Oil Colors are classified into four texture categories:
- Silky Smooth - These colors exhibit a glossy finish with minimal texture.
- Very Fine Textured - This category includes Cobalts, Phthalo Blues, and Permanent Yellows, Oranges, and Reds, known for their delicate texture.
- Finely Milled Cadmiums - These colors boast exceptional density and tinting strength while ensuring a smooth consistency.
- Coarse Textured Colors - For instance, Brown Pink and Stil De Grain deliver a rugged or gritty sensation, allowing light to permeate the medium and reveal rich, golden or mahogany undertones rather than just dull, heavy browns.
Available Formats
Williamsburg Oil Colors are offered in both 37 ml and 150 ml tubes, along with specialized sets: - Williamsburg Traditional Set - Williamsburg Landscape Set - Williamsburg Extender Medium - Williamsburg Titanium Oil Ground
