PUREBRILLIANCE
After significant development and research, we are proud to present the brightest ever range of Winsor & NewtonArtists’ Acrylic. By combining our world-beating colourmaking experience with the latest developments in resintechnology, we have taken ‘brilliance’ to a new level.
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic colours are unrivalled in their richness,
intensity and depth of colour. And that’s not all. Not only are our colours
brilliant when wet but they remain as bright when dry – so no colour shift or
darkening of tone. What you see is what you get.
Working with artists around the world confirmed that above all else, acrylicartists want the brightest, most vivid colours that do not change as they dry.Our new range represents a significant breakthrough in achieving this andmuch more.
THE NEW RANGE OFFERS:• Unrivalled brilliance and depth of colour• No colour shift from wet colour to dry colour• The introduction of new unique pigments to
professional acrylics• Longer open time (working time)
• A complimentary range of mediums to maintain the unique qualities.
AN ACRYLIC RANGE WITH PURE BRILLIANCE
PAGE 01
PAGE 02
Popular and practical Extremely versatile, water-mixable and fast drying, acrylics have grown inpopularity ever since they were introduced in the 1950’s. Their quality hassteadily improved and they can be used easily and with confidence by all levelsof artist.
A GOOD ACRYLIC RANGE SHOULD OFFER:
• Clean, bright and strong colours• Individual formulations for each colour, to bring out the
best in each pigment• Permanence
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic more than meets all these criteria,delivering brilliant, clean colours. This results from high pigmentation levelswithin the colour, the high proportion of single pigment colours within therange and the in-depth study of resin technology by our chemists to ensureno colour shift from wet to dry.
Add to this a wide and balanced spectrum of 80 colours using uniquepigments, a luxuriously thick and buttery consistency, excellent permanenceand longer working time and it becomes clear why Winsor & Newton Artists’Acrylic represents the most significant breakthrough for acrylic painters.

Brilliance - the richness, intensity and depth of the colour -is the most important characteristic to an acrylic artist.Brilliance does not mean the colours are garish. It is aboutclarity and purity of colour and this should be evidentwhen the colour is applied straight from the tube as wellas in its thinnest of films. Even the earths, blacks andwhites should be clean and not dull.
The Winsor & Newton range of Artists’ Acrylics provides a big stepforward in brilliance and this is thanks to the combination of singlehigh grade pigments, the highest pigmentation levels andrevolutionary new transparent binder that ensures no colour shiftfrom wet to dry.

Until now acrylic paints have darkened in tone as they dry,making colour matching difficult, so artists have toremember to allow for this when mixing wet colours.However with our new range, acrylic painters no longerhave to cope with colour shift. With Winsor & NewtonArtists’ Acrylic, more than any other brand, what you see iswhat you get.
Colour shift is due to thebinder changing from whiteto transparent as it dries.Winsor & Newton were thefirst to introduce minimalcolour shift to acrylics.Thanks to our expertise incolour making and resintechnology, we’ve now gonefurther in creating a rangewith virtually no colour shiftat all - any change in colourbetween wet and dry isequal or less than theequivalent colours in Artists’ Oil Colour.
The result is a range thatallows artists to matchcolours more easily frompalette to canvas and see apainting as it will actuallylook when finished.

One of the major advantages of acrylic colour is that itdries quickly, allowing artists to overpaint within minutesand build up multiple layers during one painting session.
However, artists have told us that acrylics can dry a little too quickly,especially when compared to oil colour, and this can restrict some paintingtechniques. Having listened to this, we have formulated Winsor & NewtonArtists’ Acrylic to have a longer working time on the palette withoutcompromising the convenient drying time of acrylics.
The working time of Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylics is now 20% morethan our previous range of Finity Artists’ Acrylics and in tests with artists,we’ve found that this is just the right amount of time for working with allacrylic painting techniques.

LONGER WORKING TIME
“As I work on bigexpressive skies, I really benefit fromcolours that stay wetlonger, giving meextra blending time.”BECKIE REED
PAGE 06
We have spent over 175 years developing the widest,brightest and most permanent colours for artists. Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic is no exception. Thisrange has 80 colours spread across the widest palette,using single artists’ pigments wherever possible. Otheracrylic ranges exist with a larger number of colours butthese include many mixtures of pigments which could bemixed by the artist.
Our colours are chosen according to masstone (colour from tube),undertone (bias of colour when in a thin film), strength and relativeopacity. The resultant colour spectrum ensures that artists can obtain thepalette which best suits their work.
All 80 colours in Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic are newformulations, giving thebrightest and strongestcolours. The range alsoincludes 17 exciting newcolours (see followingpage), further increasingthe number of uniquepigments available toacrylic painters.
Our research chemistshave spent the last fewyears investigating everypossible pigment and its potential for acrylicpainters. No other rangehas this number of unique pigments.
UNIQUE NEW PIGMENTS
PAGE 07
17 new colours
New Cobalt coloursCobalts are traditional semi-opaque pigments with moderate tinting strength,making them easy to control over a wide spectrum. They are well-loved bypainters wishing to represent images in a natural light or realistic colouring. Our new cobalt colours are Cerulean Blue Chromium, Cobalt Turquoise Light and Cobalt Green.
Other new inorganic coloursInorganics include all the traditional pigments; cadmiums, cobalts, titanium,ultramarine and are generally based on metals. It is unusual for new inorganicpigments to become available as most of the raw materials have already beendiscovered. We have introduced Potter’s Pink - a semi-opaque, low tintingstrength, single pigment colour - and Ultramarine Violet - a blue-shade violet - to Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic.
New Earth coloursUmbers, Siennas and Ochres are the oldest pigments known to man. Cleaner andbrighter than mixtures made from primaries, earths are excellent for toning inshadows and underpainting. Among our new earths: Light Red, Raw Umber Light,Violet Iron Oxide and Yellow Iron Oxide.
New Perylene coloursThis family group has been expanded and we are delighted to be able tointroduce three totally unique colours: Perylene Green, Perylene Maroon andPerylene Violet.
Other new synthetic organic coloursModern organic pigments offer lightfast colours of relative transparency over abroad area of the spectrum. Organics are excellent for bright, clean colourmixtures and are favoured by painters for bright flowers and abstract images. We have further expanded the spectrum available by introducing the following:Green Gold, Pyrrole Orange, Azo Yellow Deep and Nickel Azo Yellow.
New metallicsWinsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic metallics outshine all others, quite literally.Dense, opaque and highly metallic with a beautiful lustre, these colours do nottarnish. Silver No. 2 is a new darker silver which is even more metallic than anymica pigments we’ve seen before. It is brighter and more opaque which gives itexcellent covering power.

MORE PIGMENT INFORMATION
Pigment purityWe only use the purestand highest grades ofpigments, formulatedindividually to ensurethe cleanest, mostbrilliant colours, which produce the best colour mixes.
Single pigmentsWinsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic has 69 single pigment colours; at 86% of the range, no other acrylic range has ever had a higher percentage of singlepigment colours. The use of single pigments is key to the principle of makinggood colour. The benefits ensure the cleanest, brightest and strongest colourswhich give a wider choice and better colour mixing capabilities.
“The most important thingfor my style of painting is touse good quality, strongpigments.”KIM O’NEIL
PAGE 10PAGE 10
Mixed pigmentsThe remaining 11 colours in Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic which are mixedare done so with good reason. In some cases, mixtures match original fugitive(non-lightfast) colours, eg; Permanent Sap Green, Olive Green and Hooker’sGreen. In other cases, mixtures are more stable eg; Buff Titanium. Some coloursare also mixed to match original colours, eg. Cadmium Yellow Deep and RawSienna.
Highest pigmentation levels The quantity of pigment used is one of the most important indicators of thequality of an artists’ acrylic. Each individual formulation uses the maximumamount of pigment possible – without extenders, to produce a colour with thebroadest handling properties.

The Experience of colour makingWorld beating colour making is not just about findinggood quality ingredients. At Winsor & Newton, that isonly the beginning. Acrylic paint formulation is one ofthe most complicated of colour technologies andinvolves the careful selection and combination of exactlythe right raw materials, in exactly the right proportions.
The best raw materials and the best formulations are still nothing withoutour tailor-made mills and equipment which, together with our absolutecontrol through the colour-making process, ensures each ingredient isdeveloped to its full potential. No colour passes our quality control testingunless it’s perfect.
There is no substitute for experience in colour making. We use thousandsof raw materials across our colour ranges, and knowing how best tocombine them to meet the needs of the most demanding artists in theworld requires the combined knowledge of chemists who have spent theirworking lives making colour worthy of our name.
Permanence and lightfastnessThe Winsor & Newton classification of permanence is the most stringent in theart materials industry, measuring not only lightfastness, but also film stability ofthe finished colour and chemical stability. All 80 colours within the Winsor &
Newton Artists’ Acrylicrange are classified aspermanent for artists’ use,earning an AA or A rating.Using permanent colourswill ensure that yourartwork will remain as youintended for generations.
OTHER CHARACTERISTICS & BENEFITS
Testing for lightfastness at Winsor & Newton
Durability of paint filmWinsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic is formulated to ensure it can not only provide the
most brilliant colour but will also dry to a water resistant film which is non-tacky.
The latter will prevent dust and dirt embedding in the acrylic over time and will stop
finished paintings sticking to each other.
Opacity & covering powerWinsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic includesa good mix of transparent and opaquecolours offering good levels of opacityand covering power. Transparent coloursgive clean colour mixing, while opaquecolours offer the greatest covering power– the ability to cover previous layers orhow far it spreads on the canvas. Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic willcover surfaces much quicker than otheracrylics, usually with only one coat.
Luxuriously thick and butteryconsistencyWinsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic offers the smooth, thick, short, butteryconsistency preferred by most acrylic artists, with no stringiness. Colours willretain brush strokes and palette knife marks for excellent impasto effects andflow out smoothly with soft brushes if you prefer a smooth surface. They alsodilute gradually as water or medium is added, giving artists the maximumcontrol over their paint.
Satin finish with variable sheenOverall, Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic gives an even satin finish, identified byartists as a vital consideration. This makes colour matching easier, maintains thebrilliance of colours and provides a more even sheen across the finishedpainting. Unlike other ranges onthe market, Winsor & NewtonArtists’ Acrylic does not containany extenders to modify thegloss. Therefore the naturalproperties of the pigments areallowed to show; for examplecadmiums, cobalts and earthshave a slightly lower sheen, as istraditionally the case with oils.

A widespread problem with other acrylic mediums is thatthey are milky white when wet, yet dry clear. Using theseproducts with Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic colourwould cause colour shift from wet to dry.
Colour shift occurs as the medium dries from white to clear. As the milkywhite medium that you have mixed with your colour dries and becomesclear, the paint becomes more transparent and therefore darker. It isn’t easyto see how the mixture will look when dry as the colour will shift and darkenin tone as it dries, so it is necessary to do test pieces to find out what the dryresult will be.
With Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic Mediums this is no longer an issue.The mediums are formulated using the same clear resin binder as the colourrange. The mediums are clear or translucent when wet, and dry completelyclear, so you can maintain the absence of colour shift with Winsor & NewtonArtists’ Acrylic colour as it dries.

The majority of other mediums available to artists canmake the colour appear weaker and lighter in the wet state.This is because they are milky white when wet andtherefore appear to ‘dilute’ the colour. The colour loses itsbrilliance and depth and becomes lifeless.
With Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic Mediums you no longer need tocompromise on the unrivalled brilliance and depth of colour you get withWinsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic. Not only does the clear resin binderprevent colour shift, it maintains the colour depth or brilliance of the colourin the wet state. Your colours retain their clarity and purity, remaining clean,bright and strong, so your art is vibrant and full of life.

PRIMERS
It is important to prepare your painting surface with a gessoprimer. This ensures a stable and sealed surface, as well asadding tooth. It is important to use a good quality primerfor good quality colours as the longevity of the paintingdepends upon all its constituent parts.
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic White GessoThis gesso is made from the highest quality acrylic resin. It has a superiorlevel of pigmentation to give maximum covering power, so one coat isusually enough. However we recommend using two coats for unprimedcanvases when used with oil colour.
It is fast drying and opaque and dries to give an excellent level of tooth and abalanced absorbency. It dries to a non-yellowing, flexible ground suitable foracrylic, oil and alkyd painting. It can be used straight from the pot; dilution isnot recommended.
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic Clear GessoThis gesso is made from unpigmented clear resin which provides excellenttooth but dries completely clear, therefore it doesn’t change the originalappearance of your ground. If you want to start your work from a colouredground, you can make your own tinted gesso primers by the addition of acryliccolours. We recommend using up to 1 part Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acryliccolour with 4 parts Clear Gesso, and opaque colours will give a better result.
It is fast drying and provides a balanced absorbency. It dries to a flexibleground suitable for acrylic, oil and alkyd painting. It is also suitable forpreparing a surface for pastel or charcoal.

MEDIUMS & ADDITIVES
Over the next pages the products are arranged according to the final result you require: gloss, matt, texture, flow, or drying control.
GLOSS
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic Glazing Medium This is the best medium for creating glazes as it gives maximumtransparency to the colour as well as enhancing colour brilliance. This enables you to build up thin layers of highly transparent colour toachieve luminous and glowing effects. The medium is translucent so itensures no colour shift from wet to dry when used with Winsor & NewtonArtists’ Acrylic.
The medium improves the flow of the colour to give you good levelling. It slows the drying time of the paint so colours will remain usable slightlylonger when mixed with this medium.
It dries to a completely clear flexible film with a high gloss finish. It can bemixed with colour or used neat as a clear glaze, but is not intended to be avarnish. It is highly durable and iswater resistant when dry.
“One of my favouritesis the Glazing Mediumbecause it has a reallyglossy finish, which iswhat I’m looking for.”VANESSA BRADY

TEXTURE
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic Modelling Paste This modelling paste is lightweight and flexible so it doesn’t shrink or crack.It thickens the consistency of the colour, building body and structure andaccentuating texture, brush marks and palette knife marks. It also increasesthe opacity of the colour. It is ideal for carving, sanding and creatingextreme textures. It can be used to easily and quickly build up depth inlayers, and either overpainted when dry or mixed with colour. Due to itshigh opacity it may lighten certain colours. It provides an even matt finish.
“The modelling paste is brilliant forbuilding up thick layers in the baseof a painting.” ANT GARRATT
PAGE 23
FLOW CONTROL
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic Flow Improver This additive increases the flow of acrylic colours, by breaking down thesurface tension of the water. It is ideal for the application of areas of flatand even colour without changing colour strength. It is also effective forhard edge painting techniques, staining and water colour techniques. Itmaintains the stability of the colour and slightly slows drying, so colourswill remain usable slightly longer when mixed with this medium.If you want to dilute your colour significantly, we recommend using Winsor& Newton Artists’ Acrylic Flow Improver with your water, as this preservesthe integrity of the paint film, ensuring the pigment remains sufficientlybound. Under-bound colour can appear blotchy, may become brittle or notadhere to the canvas well, all issues which are avoided if you use FlowImprover.
This additive maintains no colourshift from wet to dry when usedwith Winsor & Newton Artists’Acrylic.
DRYING CONTROL
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic Slow Drying Medium This additive slows the drying time of acrylic colour to give you moreworking time for extended blending and manipulation. A ratio of 1:1 volumedoubles the drying time. Do not mix with colour above 1:1 as excessiveamounts will cause the colour to become under-bound, thinner and slightlystickier in consistency. This additive has been formulated to match theconsistency of the colour. This means that none of the characteristics of thecolour are affected, except the drying time. You can mix Slow DryingMedium with any other medium in the range to slow the drying.
This additive maintains no colour shift from wet to dry when used withWinsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic, unlike other slow drying mediums.
“I’m using FlowImprover a lot, sowhen I’m painting onthe floor and liftingup it really goes fastacross the canvas andyou get some lovelyedge effects as itdries.” ANT GARRATT

VARNISHES
Varnishing - Protecting your finished artwork
Professional artists know that varnishing your finished workis an important step, and one that should not be neglected.
Varnishes act as a protective sacrificial layer over your finished artwork,protecting it from dirt and grease and other airborne pollutants, which wouldotherwise come into contact with the paint. Winsor & Newton Artists’Acrylic varnishes also contain a UV protective agent which improveslightfastness and protects from other UV damage such as fading or colourshifting in tone. Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic varnishes are thereforeparticularly beneficial when coming to varnish non-lightfast media, such asdigital print or giclée prints for example.
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic varnishes are equally suitable for use onartwork painted in oils andalkyds.
There are 3 Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic varnishes available dependingon your desired finish. These varnishes dry to an even finish, and can beintermixed to vary the result to achieve any sheen.
Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic Varnish RemoverBy removing the varnish over a painting you can remove the dirt andpollutants trapped Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic Varnish Remover allowsyou to safely remove varnishes with no damage to your painting.

PERMANENCE
The binder we use in the mediums has been specifically tailored for ourrequirements. It is highly translucent, lightfast, age and weather resistant. It is non-yellowing, and has been carefully chosen for its long term stability.
You can be certain that by using Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic Mediumsyou will not affect the performance and high stability of Winsor & NewtonArtists’ Acrylic Colour.
Studio Practice1. To dilute the colour considerably, remember to use an acrylic medium in
addition to water, to ensure the pigment remains sufficiently bound.2. As with acrylic colour, the mediums are water soluble when wet and
become water resistant when dry. All equipment should be thoroughlywashed after use before the medium dries.
3. Always wipe the bottle and pot threads, as well as the nozzle cap after use. 4. If in doubt of any finished result, test any applications in advance.

HELPFUL HINTS & TIPS
Brushes A variety of brushes are suitable for use with acrylics. Traditionally hog brusheshave been the most popular. However, more recently synthetic brushes such asWinsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic Galeria, Artisan and Artists’ Acrylic brush havebecome more commonly favoured as they offer strength, resilience, spring andcontrol which is ideal for use with acrylics. Synthetic brushes are also good forlonger painting sessions as they won’t become soggy like hog brushes. Theyalso rinse more easily in water.
New coloursTreat yourself to some new colours, you’ll be surprised how it can freshen youroutlook and bring new life to your work.
Transparent coloursUse transparent colours for brighter, cleaner colour mixing on the palette.Layer transparent colours on the canvas for great optical mixtures, like layers oftissue.
Opaque coloursChoose opaque colours for covering previous work on the canvas, for flatexpanses of colour or for final highlights.

Using waterIf using heavily diluted washes ofacrylic colour on canvas, usemedium as well as water to ensurethe colour remains properly boundwhen dry. Winsor & Newton Artists’Acrylic Flow Improver is the mostcommon for this and will help toincrease the flow and transparencyof the colours.

C) Winsor & Newton Artists’Acrylic Composition andPermanence Table
The table across the page is designed toprovide the essential information on thecolour composition and performance ofthe entire Winsor & Newton Artists’Acrylic Colour range.
Colour Code – Col. CodeIndicates the code number that is given toeach of the colours. This is primarily forease of reference for retail and cataloguepurposes and to assist you in purchasingyour materials.
Colour NameThe colour reference on the face of thetube e.g. Burnt Umber.
Series No.The Series No. of a colour indicates therelative price of the colour and isdetermined mainly by the cost of thepigment. Series 1 is the least expensive andSeries 5 is the most expensive.
Permanence – PermThe permanence of a colour is defined as‘its durability when laid with a brush onpaper or canvas, graded appropriately anddisplayed under a glass frame in a dry roomfreely exposed to ordinary daylight and anordinary town atmosphere’. This definitionreflects the manner in which we expect tofind paintings displayed. However, for
testing purposes we are also able to utiliseaccelerated tests for lightfastness andbinder stability, in addition to theinformation issued by our pigmentsuppliers. Our ratings are therefore acombination of the natural passage of time,accelerated tests and pigmentmanufacturers’ testing and developmentand are the most stringent in the industry. AA – Extremely PermanentA – Permanent B – Moderately Durable
Chemical DescriptionThis provides the chemical description ofthe pigments used in each colour. This isoften useful for conservators.
Colour IndexThe Colour Index International is thestandard compiled and published by bothThe Society of Dyers and Colourists and theAmerican Association of Textile Chemistsand Colorists. The Colour Index classifiespigments by their chemical composition.This information will allow you to researcha specific pigment’s characteristics inreference books if you wish. The individualpigments are identified in two ways.
1) Colour Index Generic Name Each pigment can be universally identifiedby its Colour Index Generic Name. As anexample: Burnt Umber is Pigment Brown 7,abbreviated to PBr7. Although the workingproperties of Winsor & Newton colours are

439 NICKEL AZO YELLOW A transparent, red shade yellow – similar to original Gamboge resin. Wonderful for mixing – particularly greens, browns and glazing techniques.
460 PERYLENE GREEN An exciting semi-transparent, single pigment black-green. Excellent in mixes without muddying. Unique.

fully detailed in our literature, we publishthe Colour Index Generic Names of thepigments to allow you to cross referencethe working properties in other sources ifyou wish, e.g. lightfastness, opacity, toxicity,etc. The Colour Index Generic Name isparticularly necessary to fully identify someof the modern pigments. The disclosure of apigment as Naphthol Red is insufficientbecause there are over a dozen differenttypes, differing widely in lightfastness, hueand opacity.
2) Colour Index Number Pigments can also be identified by theirColour Index Number. It is considered anadditional source of information to theColour Index Generic Name. An example isBurnt Umber 77491. Of these two methodsof reference, the Colour Index GenericName is the most commonly used.
ASTMThe ASTM abbreviation stands for theAmerican Society for Testing and Materials.This organisation has set standards for theperformance of art materials including acolour’s lightfastness. To measurelightfastness using this system, colours arereduced to a level of 40% reflectance bythe addition of Titanium White. This meansthe amount of light reflected from thecolour swatch. The swatches are thentested in both sunlight and artificiallyaccelerated conditions. The results alloweach colour to be rated on a scale from
I – III for acrylic colour. In this system I isthe highest lightfastness available thoughboth ratings I and II are consideredpermanent for artists’ use. Where no ASTMrating is given for a Winsor & Newtoncolour this usually indicates that ASTM hasnot yet tested the pigment. It does notindicate a lack of lightfastness. In thesecases it is recommended that the Winsor & Newton permanence rating,which is the rating system evaluatingcolour on many aspects includinglightfastness, should be used to indicate acolour’s ability to resist fading.
Transparency/Opacity – T/O The transparent colours are marked , and the semi-transparent colours . The opaque colours are marked and the semi-opaque colours . Transparencyhowever is relative and the ratings areprovided as a guide only. In addition, anythin film of colour will appear moretransparent than a thicker one.
Health and SafetyArtists’ colours are chemical preparationsand as such should be used and handledcorrectly. Winsor & Newton products arelabelled according to current legislation inthe market in which they are sold. Pleaseread the product labels and for furtherinformation visitwww.winsornewton.com
