Golden Red Umber Professional Oil Paint, 37ml Tube

Product Description

Originating from the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn, Golden Artist Colors, Inc. now produces over one hundred sixty artist-quality oil colors in New Berlin, NY. Williamsburg colors are renowned for their rich pigmentation, with each hue uniquely characterized by its distinct finish and texture. This results in a palette that not only encompasses a variety of colors but also offers a diverse range of tactile experiences. The traditional working properties that fine hand-made oil paints are known for are present in Williamsburg products, enhanced by rigorous engineering to ensure consistent color and quality standards. The entire spectrum of Williamsburg colors is lightfast and stable.

Textures of Williamsburg Colors

The foundation of high-quality oil paint begins with selecting the right pigments, but the milling process is equally crucial in defining quality. Each Williamsburg hue undergoes milling designed to showcase the pigment's inherent beauty, luminosity, and character. While some colors exhibit a slightly coarse texture, many others are exceptionally smooth, reflecting the extensive traditional variations in oil colors’ textural differences. Williamsburg Artist Oil Colors are categorized into four distinct texture types:

• Silky Smooth: These glossy shades feature little to no texture.
• Very Fine Textures: This group includes colors like Cobalts, Phthalo Blues, and Permanent Yellows, Oranges, and Reds.
• Dense Cadmiums: These are milled to a fine grade, providing exceptional density and tinting strength, all while maintaining a smooth finish.
• Earth Colors: Careful milling preserves the unique crystalline facets of the minerals, allowing for a striking contrast between deep masstones and vibrant undertones.

Certain colors, such as Brown Pink and Stil De Grain, are intentionally milled to a coarser texture, providing a chunky or gritty feel that lets light filter through the medium, revealing rich golden and mahogany tones instead of merely dull browns.
