## Description

From the manufacturer Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylic Professional Acrylic is our finest quality acrylic range and represents a breakthrough in acrylic colour technology. After extensive research and development, we are proud to present the brightest ever range of Professional Acrylic. By combining our world-beating colour making experience with the latest developments in resin technology we have taken 'brilliance' to a new level. And that's not all. Not only are our colours brilliant when wet but they remain as bright when dry - so what you see is what you get. Offering a broader palette of colours, this set contains twelve 20 milliliters tubes of Professional Acrylic plus a leaflet. Includes: Lemon Yellow Hue, Azo Yellow Medium, Naphthol Red Light, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue, Phthalo Blue (Red Shade), Phthalo Green (Blue Shade), Olive Green, Yellow Ochre, Raw Umber, Mars Black, Titanium White. Actual contents may vary. Longer Working Time Acrylics dry quickly, which allows you to over paint within minutes and build up multiple layers during one painting session. For some artists acrylics can dry a little too quickly, so we have formulated the range to have a longer working time on the palette without compromising the drying time. Depending on the thickness of the paint, the working time is approximately 20-30 minutes. Consistency and Texture Our Professional Acrylic range offers a smooth, thick, buttery consistency with no stringiness. The colour blends easily, can be mixed with mediums and thinned with water for water colour techniques. It also retains brushstrokes for excellent impasto effects. Surface Sheen Professional Acrylic gives a generally even satin finish. Unlike other ranges, the colours do not contain extenders to modify the gloss, allowing the natural properties of the pigments to shine, which means there is some variation in surface sheen across different colours.

Review: Good paints for smaller paintings if you take the time to learn how to use them - I waited a little while to leave a review, because I wanted to get a good feel for the paints first, but I think they’re definitely worth the money. There is really good pigment in most of the paints, it does dry extremely quickly so a wet-palette is a life-saver, the texture is nice and they’re not too stiff or too water-y, and they’re very easy to use in my experience, even with a cheap brush. I would recommend still adding an extra layer of gesso to whatever your painting on, and probably an underpainting of raw sienna just because some of the paints can be a little transparent and it can be quite hard to cover a stark white canvas without doing a whole bunch of layers. The paintings I’ve attached are all paintings I’ve done with these paints + a different tube of raw sienna by another company, and they’ve responded to varnishing well. I think the tubes stretch pretty far, but my biggest painting is smaller than A4, so if you’re looking to do a massive piece of work for school or something, I probably wouldn’t recommend these because they won’t stretch that far.
Review: Worth the investment - I took up art again as a hobby after a break of several years. These paints are well worth the investment - OK, they may be slightly more expensive than some other brands, however, considering the time you invest in your hobby then you reap the benefit many times over in terms of quality and pleasure in the final outcome. I was a little unsure of the 20ml size at first, however they go much further than I expected - the only exception is the 20ml white, however this is perfectly reasonable as it constantly gets used for colour mixing, so I independently purchased a 250ml bottle. Brushes clean up well. Overall very pleased, and would certainly recommend for beginners or occasional users.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this paint have an ordor/smell?**
A: Of course, it’s made with pigments . But if you’ve used oils colors is not that strong .

**Q: Title notes 6 x 60 ml tubes -- the description notes "Includes twelve, 20 ml tubes of Artists' Acrylics" -- what is this listing including?**
A: There is a Winsor &Newton Acrylic Paint Set that includes 12, 20mL tubes. This set, however, includes the 6 x 60mL tubes. Personally, i would order this set, over the 12 tube set because it is a lot more paint for the price and includes "Titanium White" which is perfect for mixing your own colors.

A: The colors are: Permanent Alizarin Crimson Medium, Pthalo Green Blue Shade, Titanium White and Ultramarine Blue
