Making Oil Paint
The process of making paint includes running paint through a mill. This step determines "the grind", or how fine or coarse each color becomes. Each pigment reveals different characteristics at different levels of milling. Whether it is work-ability, texture or the color itself, the grind is determined by what brings out the best balance for each color.
