Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour paint is available in a range of 108 different colours, coming in 5ml tubes, 14ml tubes, half pans and whole pans.
Henry Newton and William Winsor introduced the first moist watercolour to the world in 1832 and since then the Artists Water Colour range has been developed to achieve the highest possible permanence within a wide range of well balanced pigments.
Even today, these Professional Watercolour paints continue to be formulated according to Winsor & Newton founding principles; to create unparalleled colours which offer artists the widest, most balanced choice of pigments, as it was in 1835.
Large range of single pigment colours: Winsor & Newton use only the finest pigments to ensure you are guaranteed brilliance, permanence, and strength of colour in your work. 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. With 79 single pigment colours, Winsor & Newton offer the widest range of modern and traditional pigments.
Unrivalled transparency: They are formulated and produced using the highest quality methods, achieving perfect pigment dispersion. This means every watercolour wash will remain luminescent and vibrant.
Lightfast and permanent: 96% of the colours in the Professional Watercolour range are 'permanent for artists' use' meaning the colours used today will appear the same for generations to come.
The 14ml tubes of watercolour are ideal for doing stronger washes of colour and for covering large areas. It is the most popular format for water colour painting.
“Brilliant shop! Wonderful, prompt and attentive service and an excellent array of products (particularly given the size of the space). I usually order online and collect in store (another excellent service) to save the risk of parking my bike outside but always enjoy a wander when I’m in town. Highly recommended!”

“I ordered 3 pads of watercolour paper and when it arrived I was amazed at the way it was packed. Bubble wrap, cardboard wrap then brown paper. As a result the paper arrived in perfect condition. Well done.”
– Graham
“So nice to have a shop not in a mall or a big impersonal space with knowledgeable helpful staff-full of all the art/craft supplies one could possibly want.”
– Halima
“I’ve only found this wonderful shop recently. I have been coming into this shop regularly since as I’m doing a few craft projects at the moment. The staff are absolutely lovely and have helped me anytime I needed assistance — even with recommendations!”
– Chantelle
“The staff were very helpful and patient and helped me get everything I needed to start traditional inking/inkwash art, which is not that common (but they had the supplies regardless). Coming from a digital background, I had very little idea about what I needed but they were very patient and kind in helping me pick out each piece of equipment.”
