Designed for professional artists and serious hobbyists who demand archival quality and pigment purity, the Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour range offers an unparalleled selection of 107 colors known for their exceptional strength and luminosity. While these paints offer industry-leading transparency and lightfastness, their premium price point and high-concentration formula require a degree of technical skill to manage water-to-paint ratios effectively during thin washes.

Yes, 104 of the 108 colors in the range have an AA or A rating, ensuring long-term permanence.
While they are professional grade, they are excellent for beginners who want to learn with the best materials, though they are more expensive than student-grade options.
Yes, they are compatible with other professional watercolour brands, though mixing may affect the lightfastness rating of the final mixture.
The range features 79 single-pigment colors, which are ideal for keeping mixtures clean and vibrant.
For optimal control and performance, the brand recommends pairing these paints with a Series 7 Sable Watercolour Brush.
Check your pigment count; use single-pigment colors (labeled on the tube) to achieve cleaner, more vibrant mixtures.
Ensure you are using a high-quality palette and enough water. If the paint has dried for a long period, add a drop of distilled water to the pan a few minutes before painting.
Digital screen settings vary. Always refer to a physical printed colour chart from Winsor & Newton for the most accurate representation of hue.
To begin using these watercolours, squeeze a small pea-sized amount onto a high-quality porcelain or plastic palette. Because the paint is highly concentrated, start by adding water gradually to reach your desired consistency. These paints are compatible with all professional-grade watercolour surfaces, including cold-press, hot-press, and rough cotton papers.
Store your tubes in a cool, dry place with the caps tightly secured to prevent drying. If you prefer working from dried pans, these paints re-wet easily. Always clean your brushes thoroughly with mild soap and water immediately after use to maintain the integrity of your sable bristles.
