Williamsburg : Oil Paint

<p>In the mid-1980s Carl Plansky began making paint for himself and his friends in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Williamsburg oil paint quickly accumulated a following and international presence while preserving the handmade integrity of the paint.</p> <p>Each Williamsburg oil color is ground to enhance the beauty and luminosity specific to that particular pigment. Some colors will feel slightly gritty, others extremely smooth. The Cerulean Blue has a beautiful velvet, light-absorbing surface with an extremely strong covering power; the Siennas will often be chunky or gritty to allow light to travel through the vehicle, exposing rich golden or mahogany undertones instead of just heavy, dull browns. </p> <p>The pigments are ground in pure, premium, alkali-refined and PH- balanced linseed oil and made in batches no larger than five gallons at a time. This gives total control over the product, much like the late nineteenth-century French color makers. All the materials are hand measured, and every ounce of Williamsburg oil paint is scrutinized. The paint is packed in 37ml and 150ml non-reactive aluminum tubes.</p>
