Winsor & Newton designed these sets specifically for artists making the transition from student to professional materials. Winton oils deliver genuine fine art pigment quality without the professional price point, you get lightfast, permanent colors with the smooth, consistent handling that serious painting requires. Ready-to-use formula eliminates the frustration of stiff, difficult-to-work paint; colors blend smoothly and maintain body for controlled brushwork.

The 10-color set covers essential primaries and earth tones: Cadmium Yellow Pale Hue, Cadmium Red Deep Hue, French Ultramarine, Phthalo Blue, Burnt Umber, Viridian Hue, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Ivory Black, and Titanium White. This selection handles fundamental color mixing and provides warm and cool options across the spectrum. The 20-color set expands your range with additional primaries, secondary variations, and specialized hues like Permanent Rose and Cerulean Blue Hue, ideal for painters developing their palette preferences without committing to full-size tubes of every color.

Each 12ml tube provides enough paint for thorough experimentation while keeping your initial investment manageable. Uniform consistency across colors means predictable mixing and application, whether you're building transparent glazes or working with direct, opaque passages.
