Combined with over 170 years of manufacturing and quality control expertise, the formulation of Artist’s Oil Colour ensures the best raw materials are made into the world’s finest colours. There are 120 colours in 37ml tubes and 32 colours from the range are also available in the 200ml tubes.

Winsor and Newton Artists’ Oil Colours owe their reputation for supreme quality to the careful selection of the very finest pigments. To produce colours of reliable consistency and a high standard of colour matching demands a combination of the traditional crafts of the artist colourmen and modern colour technology skills. The colours in this range each contain the maximum pigment content with good handling qualities and achieve the highest possible tinting strength when reduced with white.

The buttery consistency of Artists’ Oil Colour, together with the smell of linseed oil, are the two characteristics most admired by oil painters. The colour qualities and blendability of oil paint can’t be beaten by other media. The consistency of the body of Winsor & Newton colours can retain brush or palette knife marks or it can be thinned to the very finest of glazes.
