Winsor & Newton

Our friends at Winsor & Newton have released a very useful guide explaining the time it takes for their paints to dry:

Please note this guide is time before paint is dry to the touch. Oil paint must be fully dry before varnishing, usually between 3-6 months.

Acrylic paint is still a comparatively young medium unlike watercolours and oil which have been used by artists as far back as the 1500’s and earlier still. In this article we discuss what we consider to be the best acrylic paints to get your hands on. 

We are excited to announce the arrival of the brand-new range of Professional Watercolour Synthetic Brushes from Winsor & Newton. These brushes have been designed from the ground up to provide artists with a synthetic alternative to sable and squirrel hair brushes. 

Firstly your artwork must be completely dry. Leave for at least 7 days up to 4 months. Always give yourself plenty of space in a dust free studio.

Nowadays there are more than just half pans and tubes to consider as watercolours come in all manner of shapes and sizes in the form of pencils and marker pens, to sets focused on portability or luxury presentation.

EVENTS & FEATURES

With museums and galleries closed across the world, many of our arts organisations have moved online, putting together programmes and activities you can access from home, creating communities to share ideas and artwork.
