Winsor & Newton Artists’ Water Colours offer an unparalleled water colour range which gives artists the widest and most balanced choice of pigments, strength of colour and excellent brilliance – combined with extremely high permanence ratings. Winsor & Newton have an exclusive bonus offer this Christmas: When you buy any four Artists’ Water Colour tubes (5ml), you’ll get a free Winsor & Newton Squirrel brush (Number 2) valued at $39.95. Squirrel brushes are ideal for watercolour washes as the hairs are very fine and relatively thin.
The brushes are conical in shape with thick bellies, which enables them to hold a large amount of colour. They also come to a very fine point, giving control with washes. Apart from use with watercolours, they are useful for gouache, silk painting, and any fluid colour application. A superb gift for watercolour enthusiasts!
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Soft Pastels are formulated with the purest, highest grade pigments and made with single pigments wherever possible – ensuring maximum brilliance. They have a luxurious creamy consistency, with minimum dust, making them easier and more manageable to work with. Artists’ Soft Pastels are available in a number of sets (Set 12, Set 24 and Complete Pastel Set) and in beautifully
presented wooden boxes for that extra special gift (Set 48 and Set 120).
Developed by artists for artists, Winsor & Newton Artists’ Oil Bar represents a creative and dynamic dimension in artists’ colours, opening up new and challenging opportunities for artistic experimentation and discovery. Oil Bar colours are fundamentally different from oil pastels or oil crayons due to their unique formulation.
Each of the colours are produced by combining artists’ quality pigments with Linseed Oil, into which are blended specially selected waxes. Oil Bar, therefore, provides the artist with buttery consistency and richness of oil colour – together with the freedom and directness of pastels or charcoal.
Try out Winsor & Newton Artists’ Oil Bar, available in a pack of six slims from leading art and craft stockists.
