Winsor & Newton Winton Oil Colours
Windsor & Newton Winton Oil Colours (37ml tubes & 200 ml tubes)
Winton is a traditional range of oil colours, made from moderately priced pigments, formulated for student and amateur artists or more accomplished painters requiring large volumes of colour within moderate cost limits.
The application of traditional skills and modern colour chemistry techniques has resulted in a range of 47 carefully selected Winton Oil Colours which are of excellent quality.
As with Artists’ Oil Colour, every colour in the Winton range is individually formulated to take advantage of the natural characteristics of each pigment and to ensure the stability of the colour.
Pigment loading/tinting strength
A high level of pigmentation provides good covering power and tinting strength. While it can’t match the superior pigment load of Artists’ Oil Colour, the Winton range is much stronger than many other artists’ quality ranges.
The economical cost has been achieved through the use of moderately priced pigments rather than lessening the pigment content to an unacceptable level. Winsor & Newton formulation, manufacture and quality control ensure a product of absolute excellence.
Single Pigments
We use 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 infinite hues.
This is particularly important for violets, greens and oranges. Single pigment ‘secondaries’ considerably broaden the artist’s available spectrum.
Viscosity/consistency
The Winton range has a more uniform consistency than Artists’ Oil Colour and is slightly stiffer. It offers excellent retention of brush and palette knife strokes.
