Frequently asked questions about Winsor & Newton
- Professional or student range?
- Professional has more pigment, cleaner colours and stronger lightfastness. Student ranges cost considerably less and cover practice work.
- What does lightfastness mean?
- How well the colour resists fading on exposure. Critical if the work will be hung — it is stated on each colour.
- What is a watercolour field set?
- A compact set with colours, brush and often a water container — built for painting outside the studio.
- Which brush for watercolour?
- Watercolour brushes have soft hair that holds water. For acrylic you need stiffer bristles.
