Winsor & Newton is a British company that has been making art materials since 1832. Their offerings include paints, inks, brushes, canvas, paper, mediums, and easels. The Winsor & Newton Artists’ Oil Colors range encompasses 115 colors and is one of the most popular and best-selling artists’ oil paints.
I’ve used Winsor & Newton paints on and off for over 25 years. I started painting with Winton as an undergraduate art student and switched to the artists’ oils range a couple years later. They are very consistent paints and I can always trust that they are going to perform. Do you use Winsor & Newton Artists’ Oils? If so please leave a review below and comment. What are your favorite colors?
They have a great buttery consistency – not too wet or too stiff. This is pretty reliable across different colors also. You might find small differences between different tubes, but for the most part they all have a similar texture.
