Winsor & Newton Professional Artists' Water Colours

Winsor & Newton Professional or Artist Water Colour Paint

William Winsor and Henry Newton first introduced moist water colours in the 1830’s. The brand is now synonymous with quality and tradition when it comes to watercolour paints. With 96 colours, Winsor & Newton's Professional Water Colour range offers bright, vibrant colours and unrivalled performance. Water colour, more than any other medium, reflects the unique characteristics of the pigments used and our Professional Water Colours use only the finest pigments, and are known for their brilliance, permanence and strength of colour.

Pigments
With 75 single pigment colours in the range, Winsor & Newton offers one of the widest ranges of modern and traditional pigments for clean colour mixing.

Unrivalled Transparency
The transparency of Winsor & Newton's Professional Water Colour is achieved by their unique process of pigment dispersion during manufacture. The natural characteristics of each pigment highlights the paint’s transparency level. In water colour painting, thin washes are applied allowing the white of the paper to reflect through the wash.

Permanence
93 out of 96 colours in Winsor & Newton's Professional Water Colour range are classed as "permanent for artists' use”, rated AA or A for archival permanence to ensure that these colours used today will appear the same for generations to come.

Fun Facts:

There are three main characteristics of water colour pigments which are commonly referred to by the artist. The relative staining ability of pigments is noted by artists who wish to lift colours with a sponge, to achieve particular colour and texture effects. Some pigments show a tendency to granulate, like Raw Umber, causing the pigments to settle in the hollows of the paper surface to produce a mottled effect. Flocculation also gives a mottled effect. This happens when pigment particles are attracted to each other rather than dispersing evenly, like Ultramarine Blue.
