Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Colour?

The primary benefit is its exceptional quality, characterized by maximum pigmentation for strong covering power and tinting strength, alongside individually formulated colours that preserve unique pigment properties for pure mixing.

How do I thin this oil paint?

You can thin Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Colour using solvents like Turpentine, Mineral Spirit, or Low Odour Thinner, or by incorporating oil painting mediums.

How should I clean my brushes after using this paint?

Clean your brushes immediately after use with Turpentine, Mineral Spirit, or Low Odour Thinner, followed by soap and water if desired.

Are the colours prone to fading over time?

No, these oil colours are tested for lightfastness and permanence and boast some of the best ratings (at least AA or A), ensuring they retain their brilliance over time and are non-fading.

What does 'Individually Formulated' mean for the colours?

It means each colour is crafted specifically to enhance and preserve the unique characteristics of its individual pigment, leading to superior colour purity and mixing accuracy.

Can I use this paint for impasto techniques?

Yes, the versatile handling properties make it suitable for a wide range of techniques, including impasto, provided you use appropriate mediums to maintain structural integrity.

What is the difference between the 37ml and 200ml tubes?

The primary difference is the volume of paint contained within the tube. Both share the same professional quality standards regarding pigment and formulation.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears too thick or stiff.

Mix with a small amount of oil painting medium or solvent (Turpentine, Mineral Spirit, or Low Odour Thinner) to achieve desired consistency.

Colour mixing appears muddy.

Ensure you are using single-pigment colours where possible for cleaner mixes, and clean brushes thoroughly between colours.

Paint is drying too slowly.

This is normal for oil paints. For faster drying times, use a siccative medium or a faster-drying solvent. Refer to the "A Guide to Oil Paint Drying Times" blog for more information.

Tube cap is stuck.

Gently warm the cap area with a hairdryer on a low setting or soak the cap end in warm water. Avoid excessive force.
