Winsor & Newton

In 1832 chemist William Winsor and artist Henry Newton brought together the knowledge of the scientist and the creativity of the artist to offer an unprecedented choice of colour, clarity and permanence to fine artists. In addition to pinpointing what was really needed – a regular source of reliable colours and brushes, Winsor & Newton first developed vastly improved watercolours, followed by a number of other innovations including Chinese White, the first durable opaque white watercolour, and collapsible tin tubes for both oils and watercolours. William and Henry’s commitment to quality and innovation are part of a rich heritage which informs Winsor & Newton to this day and the brand embraces new ideas, seeks out the latest technologies and materials and devotes itself to creating the world’s finest art materials.
