Since 1835, when Henry Newton and William Winsor introduced the first moist watercolors to the world, much of Winsor & Newton's reputation for supreme quality has stemmed from its Professional Watercolor range. More than 180 years later, the original Winsor & Newton moist watercolor continues to be formulated and manufactured according to the company's founding principles — to create an unparalleled watercolor range that offers professional artists the widest and most balanced choice of pigments with the greatest possible permanence.

Through strict adherence to these founding principles, Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolors offer brilliance, transparency, and purity of color unparalleled by any other brand. For the 21st century, these key qualities are achieved through a combination of choice of raw materials, custom-made machinery, and expert formulation by experienced chemists and artists.

Today, the Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor range benefits from continued advancements in pigment technology and production methods, building on the company's already high standards to produce even brighter, more transparent, and more stable colors. Equally important, many of the formulations remain the same — proving that they cannot be bettered!

Winsor & Newton Artists' Watercolor Half Pans

By Beck

from Brush Prairie, WA

Comments about Winsor & Newton Artists' Watercolor Half Pans:

I love Winsor & Newton watercolors -- super quality. My only issue, and this is the second time, when I order online, my order takes over two weeks to arrive. This time, I needed a specific color for a project in my art class and had to drive to the store to buy a tube of the color I needed since the half-pan did not arrive in time. Wish shipping was faster -- or maybe I'm just used to a competitor's PRIME 2-day shipping opportunity.

Comments about Winsor & Newton Artists' Watercolor Tubes:

Am learning to use watercolors and our instructor recommended Winsor and Newton paints. With a basic palette an incredible number of colors can be achieved. With the exception of a Transparent Yellow Series 1 which dries spotty, all the other colors are lovely and remain true and vibrant.
