Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Paints

Artists' Oil Colour is unmatched for its purity, quality and reliability - a success which is reflected in its world-wide reputation among professional artists.

Every Artists' Oil Colour is individually formulated to enhance each pigment's natural characteristics and ensure stability of colour. By exercising maximum quality control throughout all stages of manufacture, selecting the most suitable drying oils and method of pigment dispersion, the unique individual properties of each colour are preserved.

Combined with over 170 years of manufacturing expertise, the formulation of Artist's Oil Colour ensures the best raw materials are made into the world's finest colours.  Artists' Oil Colour uses the highest level of pigmentation consistent with the broadest handling properties. The quantity of pigment used provides covering power and tinting strength.

Quality standards include the use of single pigments wherever possible to create individual colours. Combined with strength of colour, single pigments provide a wide colour range in themselves and offer cleaner, brighter mixtures with an infinite range of hues. This is particularly important for greens, violets and oranges. There are 80 single pigment colours in the range.
