Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Williamsburg Oil Colors require no special setup beyond standard oil painting practices. Ensure your workspace is well-ventilated.
Compatibility:
- This oil color is compatible with most oil painting mediums, solvents (like turpentine or odorless mineral spirits), and other oil paint brands.
- It can be used on a variety of surfaces prepared for oil painting, including primed canvas, linen, wood panels, and paper.
Care:
- Storage: Store tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure caps are securely tightened to prevent drying.
- Cleaning: Brushes and palettes used with Williamsburg Oil Colors should be cleaned immediately after use with appropriate artist-grade solvents or soaps designed for oil paints. Rags used with solvents should be disposed of properly, as they can be flammable.
- Drying: Drying times will vary based on paint thickness, the medium used, and environmental conditions. Linseed oil typically results in a longer drying time.
