Winsor & Newton to celebrate 175 years of the worlds finest Art Materials


	Winsor and Newton . Artist quality Winsor & Newton's high quality Watercolours use high performance pigments to ensure excellent strength and brilliance whilst single pigment formulations have been used wherever possible to ensure cleaner, brighter mixes. Since 1832 when Henry Newton and William Winsor introduced the first moist water colours to the world, much of their reputation for supreme quality has stemmed from the Artists’ Water Colour range. There are 96 colours available in either: Pans, half or whole, which are preferred by artists who paint outdoors and those using smaller quantities of paint. Tubes, 5ml tubes and 14ml, which are favoured by artists who use larger quantities of watercolour. Series 1 being the least expensive and series 4 the most. Light fastness: AA is extremely permanent, A being Permanent and B is moderately durable Opacity: T is Transparent and O is Opaque or semi-opaque. Click here for individual colours unique qualities

	Cotman: To complement the range of Artists' Water Colour, Winsor & Newton also produce the Cotman range. This range of 40 colours is made to their normal quality standards but costs are kept to an economical level by replacing some of the more costly pigments with less expensive alternatives keeping their exacting quality standards with a carefully selected range to offer a wide colour spectrum within a uniform price. Light fastness: AA is extremely permanent, A being Permanent and B is moderately durable Opacity: T is Transparent and O is Opaque or semi-opaque.

	A3 Artsphere workstation easel board

	A brilliant new concept in easel design for artists, designers, hobbyists and crafters. The Artsphere table easel has a unique ball and socket joint that allows a detachable drawing board to move, swivel and rotate in any direction. Easy to operate and manoeuvre whilst working on, a chunky handle locks the board securely in place for hundreds of applications such as drawing, painting, modelling and sculpture. This permits the work to be rotated, instead of having to work with the piece in a single 'upright' orientation. The rotation allows 'low angle' washes at different orientations, with the sky tilted so the water will flow 'right to left', suggesting clouds, and the ground tilted so the water will flow 'downward', suggesting 'distant to foreground'. Ideal for use in your studio at home or in school, the Artsphere has a small base and a large work surface area (680mm X 500mm) that can be positioned flat or portrait / landscape. You can also work independently with the drawing board, ideal for stretching paper (maximum size A2, 594mm X 420mm) when painting. Deeper pieces (maximum depth 30mm) such as canvas can be held to the board using the repositionable wedges. The Artsphere table easel requires self-assembly, full instructions are provided inside this box. Maximum weight 4.7 kg. (Base 1.6kg, Board 3.1kg). Board dimensions 500mm X 670mm.

Since 1766 Reeves has been synonymous with the manufacture of excellent quality fine art products. In a continuing quest for product improvement, Reeves combine the most recent technological advances with 200 years of manufacturing experience. Water colour is one of the most widely used painting method in the world. Its popularity can be attributed to the wonderful effects of light and texture that can be achieved when using water colour. Water colour requires no solvents, is diluted with water and brushes and other painting materials can be cleaned up easily with soap and water. Therefore it is the perfect medium for use in collages, at home or in a studio.

Bockingford and Langton are two of the more commonly found watercolour pads and usually have 12 sheets in a landscape or portrait format.

The most commonly used weight is 300g/m ( 140 lb ), this is thick enough not to cockle under light washes without being too expensive.

The paper is colour stable, mould made and acid free. The best watercolour papers are acid free to prevent the deterioration of paint and to preserve the integrity of the paper over time.

The paper has a 'NOT' surface (sometimes known as cold pressed) which is in between the roughest and smoothes texture of papers. This makes it a very versatile paper popular for watercolour and linewash work.
It can also be used for pastels, inks, designers gouache and acrylics.
