Winsor & Newton watercolour paint

Since 1832, when Henry Newton and William Winsor introduced the first watercolors to the world, much of Winsor & Newton's reputation has stemmed from the Professional Watercolor range. Since then, Professional Watercolor has continued to be formulated and manufactured in accordance with Winsor & Newton's founding principles: to create a top quality watercolor range that offers artists a broad and balanced selection of pigments with excellent durability.

Professional pans

Both Professional Watercolor tube and pan colors are made to the highest standards. Pan color is often used by beginners because it can be less inhibiting and easier to control the strength of the color. Tube paint is generally more popular, used by artists who use large amounts of paint or stronger washes of color. Many painters have both - this is because brow colors are useful when traveling and sketching.
