Product Description
Expanding upon their Native Italian Earth colors, Williamsburg is delighted to offer thirteen French Earth Colors providing even more depth to their offerings of natural earths coming from regions with historical importance, especially in terms of European art history. They appeal to painters seeking a broader palette of historical materials; as well as painters who appreciate that natural earths provide a type of texture and physical presence, a subtlety of color caused by the unique mix of impurities each mining region possesses; something that synthetic iron oxides simply cannot provide.
Like French colormakers of the 19th century, Williamsburg maintains total control over their product. Each pigment is ground in pure, premium, alkali-refined and PH-balanced linseed oil and made in batches no larger than five gallons at a time.
Williamsburg oil colors are used by the worlds finest artists. You can see them in recent acquisitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; and the Beaubourg in Paris.
