Best described as rich, this classic oil colour has a full and buttery consistency. Because WINSOR & NEWTON™ Artists' OIL COLOUR™ is slightly stiffer, it retains the characteristic touch of your brush and palette knife.

The wide and well-balanced range includes some 125 bright and pure colours rubbed in linseed and safflower oil, which mix well with each other. Only the best pigments are used, in a high concentration: a little goes a long way! Even when mixed with white, the tinting strength remains. Except for alizarin crimson, all colours have the highest lightfastness.

The longer drying time is typical of oil paints: this gives you plenty of time to build up your work, make changes and achieve typical effects. Drying times also vary by colour. Some pigments absorb less oil and dry faster, others absorb more oil and dry more slowly. Apart from this, some pigments have an inherent drying accelerating effect, while others have a drying retarding effect. After the diluent has evaporated, oil colours dry by oxidation: the oil changes its chemical structure through contact with oxygen. This process is accelerated by lower humidity, higher temperature and air circulation, and exposure to daylight. High humidity or lack of daylight is fatal for good thorough-drying!

All WINSOR & NEWTON™ Artists' OIL COLOURS™ feel touch-dry after 2-12 days. You can slow down or speed up the drying time by using mediums. After about 6 - 12 months, your painting will be sufficiently dry to varnish it. An oil painting can take decades to dry thoroughly!

Below are some examples of the drying time of WINSOR & NEWTON™ Artists' OIL COLOURS™ .

Short drying time, approx. 2 days:

  • 491 Permanent mauve ○ 178 Cobalt blue ○ 180 Cobalt blue deep ○ 538 Prussian blue ○ 552 Raw sienna ○ 554 Raw umber ○ 557 Raw umber light ○ 558 Raw umber (green shade) ○ 076 Burnt umber ○ 242 Flake white (hue) ○ 674 Underpainting white

Medium drying time, approx. 5 days:

  • 706 Winsor blue (red shade) ○ 707 Winsor blue (green shade) ○ 720 Winsor green ○ 721 Winsor green (yellow shade) ○ 074 Burnt sienna ○ 192 Cobalt violet ○ 184 Cobalt green ○ 667 Ultramarine (green shade) ○ 263 French ultramarine ○ 599 Sap green ○ 468 Permanent alizarin crimson ○ 285 Gold ochre ○ 646 Transparent gold ochre ○ 744 Yellow ochre ○ 059 Brown ochre ○ 745 Yellow ochre light ○ 746 Yellow ochre pale ○ 086 Cadmium lemon ○ 118 Cadmium yellow pale ○ 108 Cadmium yellow ○ 111 Cadmium yellow deep ○ 089 Cadmium orange ○ 097 Cadmium red deep ○ 106 Cadmium scarlet ○ 094 Cadmium red ○ 644 Titanium white ○ 748 Zinc white ○ 337 Lamp black ○ 331 Ivory black

Long drying time, more than 5 days:

  • 730 Winsor yellow ○ 548 Quinacridone red ○ 545 Quinacridone magenta ○ 004 Alizarin crimson

What is the best white to use? With the exception of Underpainting white, which is rubbed in linseed oil, all WINSOR & NEWTON™ whites are rubbed in safflower oil. Safflower oil is lighter in colour and less prone to yellowing than linseed oil. However, it dries more slowly and 'works' more during drying. Therefore, do not use safflower oil in underpainting. However, for normal applications or as a mixing white, a white based on safflower oil is perfect.

No 2 whites are the same!

  • 674 Underpainting white is a mix of titanium and zinc white. It dries quickly and is perfect for underpainting.
  • 748 Zinc white is the subtlest and most transparent white. Cool, tending towards blue. An excellent mixing white, suitable for tints and glazing layers.
  • 644 Titanium white is the most widely used, most modern and opaque white. A hard white that quickly dominates in blends and tends to make colours chalky.
  • 242 Flake white hue is a modern approach to the classic lead white. Good mixing white, more subtle than titanium white, warmer than zinc white.
  • 330 Iridescent white is a mica-based pearlescent white. TIP! — You get the best results if you mix it with transparent colours!

Review this product
Janina
Reliability over the years - Despite all the different oils on offer, I prefer this range. Quality and good value combined. The colours handle well and are of the consistency I like. I have always used them.
Alan James
Grade A artist's paint - Superb quality paint. They're always improving the range and introducing new colours.

The new(isn) Cobalt Chromite Green is a superb mixing colour for foliage, and the Chrome Green Deep Hue is an excellent opaque dark green. Also, the Permanent Alizarin Crimson fills a gap in the colour wheel in terms of permanence.
Sarah
tried and tested quality paint - My art teacher recommended this range of paints which I love for the range and mixability. Always very good value with Great Art.
