Williamsburg is proud to introduce 13 French Earth Colors from the oldest mine and pigment supplier in France. Adding the new French Earth Colors to the famous Italian Earths line reinforces Williamsburg’s commitment to truly unique color offerings for artists.
The 13 new French Earth Colors will expand and provide more depth within the offerings of natural earths coming from regions with historical importance, especially in terms of European art history. They will appeal to painters seeking a broader palette of historical materials; those who want to feel more connected to specific regions and traditions.
At the same time, Williamsburg believes the French Earth Colors are attractive to many modern painters who appreciate that natural earths provide a type of texture and physical presence, as well as a subtlety of color caused by the unique mix of impurities each mining region possesses; something that synthetic iron oxides simply cannot provide.
Supported by a Selected French Earths set (WB6008410), these 13 new colors are available in a free-standing display unit. For Holiday planning, please note that they will be in stock mid-August. For more information, contact your MacPherson’s Sales Representative.
