Winsor & Newton Makes Color Mixing Simple

Colour mixing can be confusing, even to an experienced artist. Winsor & Newton simplifies the process with their new Colour Mixing Sets, available now at art material retailers nationwide who carry Winsor & Newton products.

  • Each Colour Mixing Set includes a brush and 8 tubes of color (3 warm primaries, 3 cool primaries, black and white), which are offered in a variety of media: Cotman Water Colours, Winton Oil Colour, Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour, Finity Acrylic Colour and Designers Gouache.
  • Each set includes a blank colour wheel, printed on water color paper or canvas textured paper depending on the medium. The colour wheel, which will accommodate up to 170 colour mixes, is a valuable tool allowing the artist to organize the colours in order to better understand the relationship of all the colours within the colour spectrum. Also part of the set is Winsor & Newton's 18-page booklet, "Hints, Tips & Techniques: Colour Mixing," which provides complete instruction on the art of colour mixing.

Since Henry Newton and William Winsor formed their partnership in England in 1832, Winsor & Newton has earned an international reputation for the unmatched quality and reliability of the art materials that carry their name. Today, Winsor & Newton products are chosen by more artists around the world than any other brand.
