See them in action

Our Professional Watercolour is still formulated according to our founding principles; to create unparalleled colours which offer artists the widest and most balanced choice of pigments, as it was in 1835 when William Winsor and Henry Newton introduced the first moist watercolours to the world.

Features

Our watercolours were used by the greats – as Turner - and are still the first choice of today's artists.

Large Range of Single Pigment Colours

Our range uses only the finest pigments which is why they are known for their brilliance, permanence and strength of colour. With 79 single pigment colours, we offer the widest range of modern and traditional pigments.

Unrivalled Transparency

Formulated using the highest quality methods to achieve optimal pigment dispersion, our unrivalled transparency means every wash will remain vibrant and luminescent.

Lightfast and Permanent

104 out of 108 colours in the Professional Watercolour range are rated AA or A for permanence to ensure that the colours used today will appear the same for generations to come.

Available in pans and tubes

Pans are portable and air dry, very useful when working outside or when needing to work quickly. Tubes are wet paint, perfect for working at a large scale with a quicker release and particularly helpful with a restricted palette.

Reviews

French Ultramarine Review

"I bought this as it was recommended in an online tutorial. I use it as a base for a variety of colours, especially for shadows. I find it's slightly grainy which adds a lovely texture to a painting when applied. I'll be using it more in the future."

— Richard B. (5/5)

Learning the difference from Cotman

"Learning the difference from Cotman but clearly better quality. It’ll come with time I’m sure"

— Michael W. (5/5)

Service was top class as

"Service was top class as I would expect professional water colour matches this standard. M"

— Michael W. (5/5)

Prime Green

"Nice bright green. This colour is almost a stereotypical green. It is almost a cartoon green so will need some mixing to blend in with some moodier scenes. For a bright summer's day and green grass it is great. If green had a prime colour I his would be it."

— Harry B. (5/5)

Perfect Ocean

"This is a perfect ocean blue. You can easily make ocean waves effortlessly with this colour it mixes well and has a heavy pigment. A beautiful colour."

— Harry B. (5/5)

Rich flowing colour

"I started with the Cotman range. As my paints are getting used up, I’m replacing the warm and cool primaries and a few special others with the professional range. Payne’s Grey is a firm favourite and the professional is even better than the Cotman. Very happy I invested in a full pan."

— Emma H. (5/5)

Dark and Moody

"Lovely colour. Green is used a lot in my paintings and this saves me a lot of time with the dark greens and real definition in my paintings. Lightens up to a nice mossy green also. Almost black when not diluted."

— Harry B. (5/5)

Beautiful Turquoise Green Blue

"I love this colour. It is a bright tropical ocean colour and lands itself to water scenes so easily wet into wet it is great."

— Harry B. (5/5)
