Professional Watercolour

From £7.25

Our watercolours were used by the greats – as Turner - and are still the first choice of today's artists.

See them in action

Our Professional Watercolour is still formulated according to our founding principles; to create unparalleled colours which offer artists the widest and most balanced choice of pigments, as it was in 1835 when William Winsor and Henry Newton introduced the first moist watercolours to the world.

Features

Large Range of Single Pigment Colours

Our range uses only the finest pigments which is why they are known for their brilliance, permanence and strength of colour. With 79 single pigment colours, we offer the widest range of modern and traditional pigments.
