Winton oils are moderately priced providing good quality at an affordable price. Their high pigment load provides good mixing capability and coverage, comparable to many artists' quality ranges. Color range is chosen according to pigment tone, strength and relative opacity. The resulting color spectrum ensures maximum mixing possibilities. Their uniform consistency retains textures well. Some colors are offered as a hue which utilize a synthetic version of the original pigment. Series 2 colors contain the true pigment. You can safely intermix with other W&N Oil products with the exception of: a) thin alkyd films over thick oil films; b) thick Oil bar films under oil films.
