- • Best for: Artists who use large volumes of paint and want consistent handling
- • Not ideal for: Painters seeking the softest, buttery-bodied artist-grade oils
Higher pigment load than many artists' ranges delivers strong colour. Uniform, slightly stiffer consistency retains brush and palette knife strokes.
Vibrant, lasting colour - thanks to high-quality, pure pigments
Pigments are formulated with a higher pigment load than many artists' ranges to concentrate colour. The result is a stronger chroma and permanence described as durable and lightfast.
Stronger pigment load produces more vivid mixes and reduces the amount of paint needed for full coverage. Colours remain more permanent on the canvas over time.
Reliable brush and knife marks - with a uniform, slightly stiffer consistency
Winton range has a more uniform consistency and is slightly stiffer than Artists' Oil Colour, which helps the paint hold peaks and directional strokes. Consistency supports both brushwork and palette knife textures.
Better retention of brush and palette knife strokes makes expressive techniques easier to control. Surface texture stays defined through drying stages.
Suitable for high-volume use - thanks to larger starter tubes and practical formulation
Starter set supplies ten 37ml tubes, designed to give substantial quantities without frequent repurchasing. Formulation balances pigment load and handling for repeated studio use.
Ten mid-sized tubes are convenient for students, tutors and painters who work through paint quickly. Practical tube size reduces the need to transfer paints or buy in bulk immediately.
