Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour Half Pan

The Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour paint is available in a range of 96 different colours. They come in a range of sizes including half pans, whole pans, 5ml tubes and 14ml tubes.

Henry Newton and William Winsor introduced the first moist watercolour to the world in 1832 and since then the Artists Professional Water Colour range has been developed to achieve the highest possible permance within a wide range of well balanced pigments. Single pigments are used whenever possible thus creating a cleaner and purer colour. The binding medium used is the highest quality Gum Arabic called Gum Kordofan from acacia trees in Africa. 

104 out of the 108 lightfast colours in the Professional Watercolour range, are classed as 'permanent for artists' use' meaning that 96 per cent of Professional Watercolours are rated AA or A for permanence. This ensures that the colours used today will appear the same for generations to come.

Each colour within this wide range has been produced to provide excellent colour choice so you can create a unique palette that best suits your work. The half pans of watercolour are often used by the beginner as you generally have more control over the strength of colour. They are also ideal for painting on holidays, painting when travelling and used within your sketchings.
