Beautifully presented swatching. I have been patiently waiting to see the W&N single pigments demonstrated by someone who takes the time and effort needed to do it well. You have given a much better idea of their potential by using a delicate technique, thank you for sharing and I look forward to your next video!
I have no words. This is one of the kindest remarks I've received on this platform! I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed this video. Thank you so much!
Hello, Patty! I am glad this video is congruent with your current watercolor-sourcing activities. Part 2 will feature blues and earths. It's wonderful having you here again!
@@stiviwonders These are your basic good quality watercolors but none of these has struck a cord with me. I do have their Rose Dore, Colbalt Violet and Smalt Blue. Really lovely 🥰
Part 2 will cover Smalt Blue and other blues and earths. As for me, Rose Dore isn't on my list because I generally don't purchase convenience mixtures except for the ones that I want to have on hand such as Payne's Gray and Hooker's Green. I love a good set of fundamentals because I prefer making my own mixes. 🥰
Winsor & Newton Professional paints are fabulous and you’ve swatched out a couple of my favourites - Cad Yellow Pale & Winsor Red Deep. A couple of my all time favourites is Permanent Rose and Winsor Yellow. Might have to purchase Cobalt Green Deep. Looking forward to seeing Part 2 and the colours you paint out in that session.
Fantastic! I am glad I got some of your favorite ones covered. Permanent Rose is excellent for sunrise paintings. Absolutely charming and delicate! Part 2 will cover some blues and earths. Thank you for being here!
I started watercoloring with the W&N Professional colors, and they are still one of my favorite brands. High quality and reasonably priced. Some of the fugitive colors are lovely, and I would paint them if I digitized my work for prints. One of my favorite colors is green gold. I don't have all the W&N colors, and somehow I missed the cobalt green deep, I'll have to get some soon. The mix of ultramarine and light red is perfect for shadows. Thanks for another great video.
Excellent! It is fair to say that a good portion of the watercolor art population started with Winsor & Newton since the brand is perhaps one of the most widely distributed paints globally. You brilliantly cited one of the reasons why I keep a nice stock of heritage pigments that are considered fugitive. We can still benefit from their unrivaled beauty by digitizing our pieces as soon as they're ready. I use French Ultramarine and Light Red for atmospheric skies. So moody or misty! A little bit of yellow ochre or raw sienna gives the mixture some warmth. Thank you for watching! Part 2 will cover blues and earths. Soon!
I am very much appreciative of this informative video, truly. ❤ Windsor and Newton 48 tube set was my first choice for watercolors. However, the tubes were so small. I was very discouraged to be able to read any of the detailed information about each tube of paint/pigment as you are sharing here. I did manage to fill up my half pans with them and label each and place those pans in my metal tin. I am tempted to get out the tubes that still hold at least half the paint they came in before I filled my pans just to use the colors "out of the tube" as you are here. Again, thank you so much for this informative video. I have searched, and no one has done one for this brand of watercolors as you have done here. At least not doing a video of such to my hunting for one on TH-cam for almost a year. ❤
Thank you for your kind message! This confirms that I am on the right path when it comes to how I produce them. Glad the video has re-ignited some interest to squeeze out paints from some "old friends." One aspect of professional watercolors that I appreciate is that resolubility is our friend. We can go back and rewet them anytime. Thank you again for being here and happy painting! ❤
Winsor and Newton is the first watercolor paint brand I know about for most watercolor tutorial books use these paints. And most of them are outstanding, especially "winsor" colors, scarlet lake, permanent rose, permanent alizarin crimson, cobalt blue, venetian red and burnt sienna(I have heard of a lot of positive reviews about this color).
I almost forget! Most of these colors I use are older paints which are made from England instead of France(older version have a more classic and somewhat vintage-like package) and I really miss py153 new gamboge. The smalt from a modern version is also very nice.
Thank you for sharing this information! Winsor & Newton has a long history and they're widely distributed worldwide so that influenced the watercolor learning books that are available everywhere. I still have a lot of the "England" marked ones too. I understand the sentiment about the "vintage" appeal" and it is going to get some time to get used to the newer tubes. The Part 2 of this series will cover Smalt Blue.
@@stiviwonders The color of smalt reminds me of blue hyacinth, not as chalky as other lavender covenience mixtures(most of them use pw6 to lighten the color and use pv15 and pb29 to get a periwinkle blue feel).
@clairevalentine9220 You are right! It is reminiscent of blue hyacinth. There are so many blue options but I always gravitate towards the classic ones such as French Ultramarine, PB60, Indigo and Cobalt Blue. From other brands, I love Fra Angelico Blue, PB80 and PB33.
I love W&N paints, i think they get negative press because they are expensive abroad, but in the UK if you shop around they are the most reasonable. I love their permanent rose, its just beautidul. And ive always thought they excel at clear bright clean mixing reds. Their jewel tones are gorgeous too. I beliebe i starting bright as you can always make a paint subdued with mixing. I love how relaxing your swatching is and especially love your sharing your favourite mixes. 😍
Thank you for sharing that! I can't speak for others but in my area here in the US, or even online, Winsor & Newton Professional watercolors' prices are not that different from other brands claiming to be "professional-grade" as well. I am glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching! 😍
Hello and thank you for subscribing! Both are great options for painting. Personally, I haven't noticed any critical difference between the two except that the pans require a special handling approach. Please allow me to take this opportunity to mention that the second installment of this video on Winsor & Newton will be up soon. Again, thank you for being here!
IMPORTANT NOTICE
27:07 I meant PG26, not PG50. (I was painting with PG50 hours before I edited this video). 🥲

Another beautiful video, that transparent orange just glows. Can’t wait for part two
I am glad you enjoyed the video. That orange is extra vibrant. Part 2 will cover blues and earths. Thank you for watching!
will your part 2 come out soon? Love your swatching videos!
@@stiviwonders
@@jessicapingel3760 So kind, thank you! Yes, it is on queue! Hopefully within the month.
I love the selection of colors you chose to feature; they look so beautiful together.
Thank you! Part 2 will cover some blues and earths.
Looking forward to it!@@stiviwonders
Love your large swatches and your mixes! 🌼
I appreciate that! A larger surface offers a lot of opportunities for seeing the pigments' properties.
This video was extremely helpful. The experiment on both hot & cold pressed watercolor papers was also gerat. And lastly, the mixes Thx !!!
Fantastic! Glad to hear that the video has been helpful. Thank you!
The swatch on the left of French Ultramarine and Light Red looked like a tiny misty landscape!
Ohh, you are right! It does look like a mini-landscape. That’s my favorite combination for creating shadows and convincing skies.
Patty-I am just starting to collect Winsor and Newton professional paints. I'm really beginning to like them. I can't wait for the next video.

Lovely 💕, delightful and relaxing 🎉
Wonderful! Which ones appeal to you?

Stivers, I really enjoyed this video! Winsor and Newton watercolours are so beautiful and have a great variety of colours. Thanks. Helene
That's wonderful! I am glad the video could offer an enjoyable viewing experience for you. Part 2 is coming soon so I hope you will love that one too!

Me gusta la diferente saturación, desde lo más sutil a lo más cargado; me encanta como lo haces.
Muchas gracias! Te lo agradezco genuinamente! Hay una Parte 2 en unas pocas semanas. 🙏

those are amazing colours ❤❤❤
Thank you! The pink ones reminded me of you!
I loove their paint so much 🥰 I hope in the future I'll be able to get enough paint to create a whole palette 😊 I can't wait for part 2 💖
I am glad you love them! Part 2 will cover earths and blues, including the now discontinued PR206-based Brown Madder. So glad to see you here again! 💖
Love their that green.😊
I can see why. They're truly vibrant!

How do the professional pans compare to the tubes in .W&N ? Love your videos…….especially the swatch comparisons….new subscriber 😊
