French Earth Set (10 colors) / Williamsburg Handmade Oil Color

Our French Earth Colors provide even more depth to our offerings of natural earths coming from regions with historical importance. Natural earths provide a type of texture, physical presence and subtlety of color that synthetic iron oxides simply cannot provide. This set of ten 37ml tubes includes:  French Terre Verte   French Yellow Ochre Deep   French Raw Sienna   French Ochre Havane   French Brown Ochre   French Burnt Umber   French Light Sienna   French Ardoise Grey   French Raw Umber   French Rouge Indien Originating from the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, over one hundred seventy artist quality oil colors are now made in New Berlin, NY. Each color is milled in small batches to provide a unique expression of each pigment used. For that reason, our paints are not homogeneous, as some colors require a very fine grind that results in a rich, smooth paint, while others are best allowed to retain more texture and provide a little more resistance and less gloss.
