Professional Pigments

Winsor & Newton Pigments

Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolours are world-renowned for their brilliance, purity of pigment, and exceptional permanence.

Key Specifications

• Pigment Concentration: High concentration of single pigments, ensuring bright, clean mixes and preventing mud.
• Permanence Rating: Majority rated AA or A (extremely permanent), preserving your artwork's original state.
• Transparency: Exceptional natural transparency, which allows light to pass through the paint and reflect off the cotton paper.

Celine's Studio Tips

• Water Ratio: Winsor & Newton Professional paints respond beautifully to water. Experiment with "milk" versus "tea" consistency to master your values.
• Single Pigments: Use single-pigment options (like Cobalt Blue or Yellow Ochre) for clean colour mixing. They won't turn muddy when mixed.
• Granulating Washes: Combine earth tones with plenty of water to let the pigment particles separate and create beautiful organic textures.
