Manufacturer: Winsor&Newton
For students, painters, hobbyists and professional artists looking for good quality oil paint at an affordable price, the Winsor & Newton Winton Oil Color range is the perfect solution. It's economic paints, efficient but with higher standards compared to other products at this price. The Winton Oil Color series combines traditional Winsor & Newton formulas developed over the years and the latest manufacturing technologies. The affordable price of a paint tube is by no means due to the reduction in the proportion of pigments contained in the paint compared to other components. The pigments used in this series are slightly cheaper, but they have the same opacity and colour intensity as the more expensive pigments, including cadmium and cobalt. The full range of colours includes 48 colours with a dense, uniform consistency, which makes it easy and fun to apply paint on a canvas with a spatula or brush. All colours have a two- or three-star lightfastness rating, which means that in museum conditions the colours will not lose their intensity at least 100 years. When dry they leave a shiny finish, more or less visible, but unlike other oil paints, these differences are less noticeable. The colour palette was selected taking into account the colour of the paint (tube paint), the transparent colour (the colour after the application of the thin film), the hue power and the covering properties.
