subject: All Brands Are Not The Same: Six Qualities That Make an Oil Paint a Good Oil Paint [print this page] On balance I find Winsor & Newton provide me with everything I am looking for in my oil paints. Although the texture is different for different colours, they are mostly in the range that suits my style. The intensity of colour is fantastic, especially in the cadmium Artist range and the choice of colours is like being a kid in a sweet shop. The artist colours vary in price depending on series and they are not cheap. This is where the Winton Oil range (their student oils) comes in. The Winton Oils are a reduced range of colour but much more affordable in 200ml tubes mainly because the colour pigments are synthetic. I'm not a traditionalist so this doesn't bother me. The transparency, vibrancy and texture all provide great value for money. Finally, you can visit their factory in West London and decide for yourself, re their working practices.
