Williamsburg Oil Paint Made by hand in small batches, Williamsburg Oil Colors are recognized for being richly pigmented and dense. Each color is treated individually, with each pigment ground to the nature of that specific color, bringing out the beauty and preserving the wider range of differences that were common in the past. They are guided by a painter's eye toward tradition, as well as a recognition for the modern organic pigments. Most colors are considered to have excellent light-fastness.
