Winsor & Newton

In 1832, chemist William Winsor and artist Henry Newton brought together the knowledge of the scientist and the creativity of the artist to offer an unprecedented choice of color, clarity, and permanence to fine artists.

Winsor & Newton pinpointed what was really needed — a regular source of reliable colors and brushes. First they developed vastly improved watercolors, followed by a number of other innovations including Chinese White — the first durable opaque white watercolor — and collapsible tin tubes for both oils and watercolors.

New era, new approach

A series of royal appointments and awards in the late 1800s paved the way for Winsor & Newton to introduce its colors around the world. And in the early 20th century the company expanded its range to offer key value ranges, and expanded its factories to ensure that paint and brush production continued during both World Wars. Throughout, William and Henry’s original ethos remained at the heart of the business — whenever there was a new, exciting, or better pigment or binder available, Winsor & Newton incorporated it, introducing Designers Gouache, Griffin Alkyd fast-drying oils, Artisan water-mixable oils, and the revolutionary Professional Acrylic with a translucent binderWinsor Newton continues to be innovative to this day, most recently introducing watercolor markers, watercolor sticks, and pigment markers.
