Oil Paint Comparison: Schmincke Norma VS Williamsb Oil Paint Comparison: Schmincke Norma VS Williamsburg – Which One do you prefer?🎨

⸻

🎬 Both are professional-grade oil paints – let’s test them out and see which one fits your style!

⸻

🖌️ First Impressions
Schmincke: Smooth and silky – ideal for fine details
Williamsburg: Thicker and richer in texture

🎨 Mixing Test
Schmincke blends more evenly and flows better
Williamsburg gives intense pigment and a slightly gritty feel

🖼️ Brush Stroke Test
Schmincke applies smoothly with soft edges
Williamsburg holds bold, textured brush marks

⏳ After Drying
Schmincke: soft, satin-like finish
Williamsburg: matte, more dramatic presence on canvas

⸻

✅【Conclusion】

Both are great in different ways:

✔ For smooth blending and delicate work – go for Schmincke Norma
✔ For bold texture and expressive style – try Williamsburg

⸻

Spent a joyful, inspiring weekend at Mairangi Arts Centre during this year’s ArtFest 🎨✨

Pottery, painting, robot soccer, face painting… from kids to adults, everyone found their own spark of joy through playful creativity 🧡

I absolutely love how this event brought art and community together. The colours, the laughter, the hands-on fun – every moment felt like a scene from a movie 🎬

Can’t wait for the next ArtFest – I’m definitely coming back!📌

On an ordinary afternoon working at Gordon Harris, On an ordinary afternoon working at Gordon Harris, the sunlight streamed through the windows, and suddenly, I spotted these magical notebooks and postcards:
📘 Howl’s Moving Castle
🧹 Kiki’s Delivery Service
🐺 Princess Mononoke
🚉 Spirited Away
🌊 Ponyo
……
These are the scenes we grew up watching over and over, stories that still bring comfort even as we grow older.
The moments captured on these postcards and notebooks speak for themselves, stirring something deep within.
It’s as if, when you open them, you can hear the wind and the soft voices of the characters.

If, on a quiet afternoon, you happen to spot these designs, wouldn’t it bring a warm smile to your face too?
