The Characteristics and Benefits of the Artists' Watercolor Range
Formulation - In simple terms, a water color is produced by a combination of a pigment with a binder, for example, Gum Kordofan, a type of Gum Arabic. Each Winsor & Newton tube and pan color however, has an individual formulation to take advantage of each pigment's characteristics and ensure color stability.
Pigments - Artists' Watercolors contain a variety of high performance pigments which ensure strength of watercolor and excellent brilliance combined with high permanence ratings. Wherever possible, single pigments have been used, ensuring cleaner, brighter watercolor mixes.
Colour Strength - The strength of each water colour has been maximised by combining the most advvanced colour-manufacturing techniques with the most recent developments in pigment technology. Optimum colour strength offers the artist greater tinting possibilities.
Brilliance - Brilliance can be defined as the richness, intensity and depth of a watercolor. The optimum brilliance of every watercolor in the Artists' Watercolor range is unparalleled by any other watercolor. Remarkably, this brilliance is combined with high permanence. Floral painters will benefit particularly from the excellent and unusual combination of brilliance, purity and permanence of these watercolors, especially in the red area of the spectrum with watercolors such as Quinacridone Red, Quinacridone Magenta and Permanent Carmine.
Transparency - Winsor & Newton Artists' Water Colours exhibit unrivalled transparency due to the unique pigment dispersion in the manufacture of the colour. This is particularly important as transparency is the key characteristic of water colour. As a result of the thinness of a water colour film, all colours have a transparent quality on paper. However, pigments do retain their natural characteristics to some degree. For example, opaque water colours like cadmiums are likely to cover a little more than transparent colours.
