Williamsburg Artist Oil Colors by GOLDEN, Italian Pompeii Red, 37 ml, Professional Oil Paint, Semi-Opaque

Williamsburg Artist Oil Colors, originating from the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, are now produced by Golden Artist Colors, Inc. in New Berlin, NY. More than one hundred and sixty artist-quality oil colors are crafted with incredible pigment richness, each possessing its own distinct finish and texture, creating not only a palette of color, but also of unique tactile experiences.

Williamsburg colors maintain the traditional working properties expected from fine, handmade oil paints, but with more consistent engineering to match color and quality standards. The full range of Williamsburg colors are lightfast and stable, offering artists a versatile selection.

The milling process is integral to the quality of Williamsburg's oil paints. Each color is meticulously milled to bring out the beauty, luminosity, and personality of the pigment. Some colors may feel slightly coarse, while others are extremely smooth, preserving the wide traditional range of texture differences in oil colors.

Williamsburg Artist Oil Colors have been categorized into four texture classifications: Silky smooth and glossy, with minimal texture; very finely textured, including Cobalts, Phthalo Blues, Permanent Yellows, Oranges, and Reds; Cadmiums milled to a fine grade for exceptional density and tinting strength while maintaining smooth consistency; and several Earth colors, such as Brown Pink and Stil De Grain, milled to a coarse texture, offering a chunky or gritty feel that allows light to travel through the vehicle, exposing rich golden or mahogany undertones.

Williamsburg offers a Traditional Set, Landscape Set, Extender Medium, and Titanium Oil Ground, each crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail. The small-batch process ensures total control over the product, with all materials hand-measured and every ounce of paint scrutinized.

The Williamsburg Traditional Set provides an ideal starting point for artists interested in exploring a more traditional range of colors, while the Landscape Set offers an excellent outdoor palette, allowing artists to capture the wide variety of hues, shades, and tints encountered in nature. The Extender Medium is used to extend oil paint without altering its consistency, and the Titanium Oil Ground, made with Titanium Dioxide and marble dust, provides the desired amount of tooth and absorbency.

Williamsburg's VIBRANT COLORS are formulated to enhance the beauty and luminosity specific to each pigment, and the HANDMADE QUALITY elevates the artistry with professional-grade oil paint engineered for consistency. Crafted in the USA by an employee-owned company with more than 40 years of experience making paint for professional artists, Williamsburg oil colors deliver unparalleled quality and performance.
