About Winsor Newton Oil Colors
These colours are milled to the most exacting specifications, with the finest
pigments and vehicles available, for artists that desire the worlds’ finest
colours. The Artists’ Oil Colour range offers a balanced spectrum of 114
colours in 37ml tubes
The Artists’ Oil Colour range offers the widest spectrum of all
the Winsor & Newton oil ranges. The colours are chosen according to mass
tone (the colour straight from tube), undertone (the “bias” of colour when
in a thin film), strength and relative opacity.
Every Winsor & Newton Artists’ Oil Colour is individually
formulated to enhance each pigment’s natural characteristics and ensure
stability of the colour.
The highest level of pigmentation in
combination with the broadest handling properties is used in Artists’ Oil
Colour. Pigment strength provides covering power and tinting strength,
ensuring that each colour can be used to its best advantage by the artist.

The thick, buttery consistency of Artists’ Oil Colour,
along with the aroma of linseed oil, are characteristics that have been loved
by oil painters for centuries. Artists’ Oil Colours are formulated with a
“short” consistency, allowing the painter to retain any mark made by the
brush or knife. The colour can also be thinned with a medium to produce
a perfectly smooth glaze.
While the Artists’ Oil Colour range is formulated to provide
as even a reflective surface as possible, it’s important to note that the
reflective quality of the oil film is affected by a wide variety of factors.
Because each pigment requires differing volumes of oil in formulation, the
surface sheen may differ from colour to colour. The addition of solvent,
and the use of additive mediums will alter surface sheen, as well.
Winsor & Newton have developed permanent alternatives for
the less durable traditional colours, without compromising the handling
properties of the oil colours. As a result, the permanence of the colour
range as a whole has been improved beyond the dreams of past painters.
