Hello Sarah and staff,
I was fortunate to be invited to attend the distributors training at the end of April 2012. I wanted to thank you for your presentation, it has made a huge difference to my conversations regarding Williamsburg and provided me with a stronger understanding of paint making, historically and present time. I feel blessed to be a rep and Golden art educator, thanks for the opportunity to share your products and product knowledge
Cheers
Nancy

I’ve used your paint over the last ten years along with Old Holland but I feel that I’ll be using your paint only from now on I can’t see paying import duties and taxes when your paint alone is of supreme quality and all I need. At seventy seven I don’t need to experiement any more ! When are your new paints going to be at the suppliers?

The blog looks set to be an excellent resource. Thank you, Williamsburg/Golden for putting solid research in my hands in a variety of forms.

After reading the Color Mixing article in Just Paint, I’m antsy to try working with some new colors. Would you please recommend a Williamsburg Oil Colors mixing set most comparable to the featured Golden’s Modern Theory Color Mixing Set? In other words, which colors do you think best fill the Hansa Yellow slots and Naphtol Red Light slot?

Thanks, Carlyle

Arise, arise!! : ) Well, at least in a couple of months we can intone that. So many people, seeing these at the College Art association, were drawn to the Ardoise Grey – which is high on my own personal list. There is something about those subtle, ethereal greys that can be as breathtaking as many much more vibrant color. It just sings in a different key.

Hi Megan….so glad you like the colors! Or at least the thought of them. The great thing is that they are much more stunning in person than in word or image, so we are positive you will be thrilled. And will definitely let Amy know that her wordsmithing was appreciated!

All the French colours are breathtaking; above all, Ardoise Grey seems so exquisite

I’ve read the article in Just Paint, and I loved that Ms McKinnon used the word “terroir” in relation to pigments.

The colours themselves are beautiful, and I’m longing to get my hands on the Green Gold, Cadmium Purple, French Light Sienna and the Ardoise Grey.
