Williamsburg Ultramarine Blue Oil Paint, 37 ml, Professional for Artists

Product Description

Originating from the vibrant Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn, Golden Artist Colors, Inc. has crafted over one hundred and sixty artist-quality oil colors in New Berlin, NY. Known for their richness in pigment, Williamsburg colors boast unique finishes and textures, creating a palette that transcends mere color selection. These oils not only exhibit traditional characteristics expected from fine handmade paints but also provide consistent quality and color matching suitable for the highest artistic standards. Williamsburgh offers a comprehensive selection of lightfast and stable colors.

Exploring the Textures of Williamsburg Colors

Obtaining the right pigments is merely the first step in achieving high-quality oil paint. A crucial aspect lies in the milling process designed to unveil the beauty, luminosity, and character of each pigment. While some Williamsburg colors feature a slightly coarse feel, others present a remarkably smooth texture, reflecting the broad spectrum of traditional texture variations in oil paints.

Williamsburg Artist Oil Colors are categorized into four distinct texture groups. The "Silky Smooth" category consists of glossy colors that exhibit little to no texture. For instance, very fine textured shades such as Cobalts, Phthalo Blues, as well as Permanent Yellows, Oranges, and Reds belong here. The Cadmium hues from Williamsburg are milled to a fine grade, producing colors with outstanding density and tinting strength, all while achieving a smooth consistency. In contrast, particular Earth tones are deliberately milled less thoroughly, allowing the texture of the pigment to shine through and preserving the crystalline characteristics of the minerals. This careful milling fosters an exciting dynamic between rich masstones and vibrant undertones.

Certain Williamsburg colors, such as Brown Pink and Stil De Grain, are milled to a coarser texture, providing a chunky or gritty sensation. This approach enables light to penetrate the medium, revealing rich golden and mahogany undertones rather than just dull, heavy browns.
