Hailing from the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn, Golden Artist Colors, Inc. now produces over 160 artist-grade oil colors in New Berlin, NY. These Williamsburg colors are known for their exceptional pigment richness, where each hue presents its unique finish and tactile quality. This not only offers a diverse palette of colors but also a fascinating array of textures.

Williamsburg oil paints embody the traditional characteristics expected of fine, handmade products but exhibit enhanced consistency to meet rigorous color and quality benchmarks. These colors stand out due to their lightfastness and stability, with an extensive selection available to artists.

The Textures of Williamsburg Colors

The process of obtaining high-quality pigments is essential, but the milling process significantly contributes to the overall quality of the oil paint. Each Williamsburg color undergoes meticulous milling to highlight the pigment's beauty, luminosity, and distinct personality. Thus, while some colors may possess a slightly coarse texture, others are exceedingly smooth, resulting in a diverse range of textures found traditionally in oil paints.

To better understand this diversity, Williamsburg Artist Oil Colors are classified into four texture categories:

Silky Smooth: These colors have a glossy finish with minimal to no texture present.
Notable examples include Cobalts, Phthalo Blues, and Permanent Yellows, Oranges, and Reds.
Fine Textured: The Cadmiums are meticulously milled to ensure exceptional density and tinting strength while maintaining a silky consistency.
Earth Colors: Many earth shades are intentionally under-milled to highlight the pigment's natural feel, preserving the crystalline structures of the minerals. This results in a striking contrast between rich masstones and vibrant undertones.
Coarse Texture: Some colors, such as Brown Pink and Stil De Grain, exhibit a chunky or gritty feel. This texture permits light to penetrate the medium, revealing luxurious golden or mahogany undertones instead of merely dull brown tones.

Williamsburg Oil Colors are available in 37 ml and 150 ml sizes, as well as in specialized sets such as the Williamsburg Traditional Set, Williamsburg Landscape Set, and Williamsburg Extender Medium, which allows artists to extend their oil paints without changing the consistency. Additionally, the oil ground made from Titanium Dioxide and marble dust achieves the right balance of tooth and absorbency.

Customer Reviews ratings reflect satisfaction, with scores such as 5.0 out of 5 stars from 11 reviews for certain products, and 4.7 out of 5 stars from 159 reviews for others.
