Before Titanium Dioxide is refined to make it white it contains a measure of Iron Oxide, which gives it a subtle linen or limewash pinky-brown shade. As well as making it a good drier, such a presence makes this paint an ideal ground or underpainting colour, with good texture and a lean surface. Some painters use it as a mixing agent in flesh painting.

Colour name: Cadmium Yellow Light Hue Colour number/code: 113 Series number: 2 Chemical description: Cadmium zinc sulphide Colour index name: PY35 Colour index number: 77205 Permanence rating: A ASTM lightfastness rating: I Transparency/Opacity: OAs with all Winsor & Newton colours, every colour in the range is individually formulated to take advantage of the natural characteristics of each pigment and to ensure the stability of the colour. The vehicle (oil modified alkyd resin) allows the colour to dry quicker whilst retaining the other characteristics of conventional oil colour.Because alkyd resin has physical properties that differ slightly from those of traditional oils, the pigment load is somewhat different as well. Experienced painters will notice slightly greater transparency compared to Artists' Oil Colour.

PB15.3 Fast Drying. Transparent. Excellent Lightfastness. High Oil Content.

A Chlorinated Copper invented in 1935, this was one of the first synthetic organic pigments to be accepted as reliably permanent. It is sometimes seen as a modern replacement for Prussian blue, but its unmixed colour is slightly more cyan, and in hues it exhibits a unique range of throbbing, intense, greenish blues which are quite distinct from the latter. Having the most powerful tint power of any colour in my range, this paint will blow any mix apart; if you wish to avoid doing so, add it in tiny quantities and with caution! Its ferrous content makes it a great drier, and like Prussian Blue it shows a tendency to bronze on drying.

As with all Winsor & Newton colours, every colour in the range is individually formulated to take advantage of the natural characteristics of each pigment and to ensure the stability of the colour. The vehicle (oil modified alkyd resin) allows the colour to dry quicker whilst retaining the other characteristics of conventional oil colour.Because alkyd resin has physical properties that differ slightly from those of traditional oils, the pigment load is somewhat different as well. Experienced painters will notice slightly greater transparency compared to Artists' Oil Colour. The colour has been formulated to offer the greatest degree of tinting strength possible (consistent with good handling properties), and to take full advantage of the true characteristics of each pigment.

PB27. Very Fast Drying. Transparent. Very Good Lightfastness. High Oil Content.

Ferri-ammonium Ferrocyanide, discovered in Berlin in 1704 and introduced through the early 18th century, was one of the first synthetic inorganic pigments and also one of the most controversial. The earlier and less purified versions had a mixed reputation; they were said to fade in hues, or even to migrate or leech through succeeding paint layers. But modern standards of washing have dispensed with the tendency to fade, and the migratory properties ascribed to this colour are no longer reported. At any rate, Prussian Blue, like Alizarin, is one of those colours some painters find essential. Its inky depth when unmixed is belied by a range of uniquely intense blues resulting from hues, particularly with Zinc White. On its own and in more concentrated mixes it exhibits a slight bronzy sheen which can be used almost like a complementary glaze.

PBk 9. Average Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. High oil Content.

An impure amorphous Carbon in Calcium Phosphate, Ivory Black is no longer made from burning ivory scraps, but from charred animal bones. It is denser in shade and cooler than Lamp Black with stronger tint power. The most frequently used black in the range.

Sublime brilliance and intensely deep colours

Optimal colour strength due to the highest possible concentration of pigments and very fine grinding

Highest degree of lightfastness

Very pure colours and greatest durability of the paint coat

PY35. Fast Drying. Opaque. Excellent lightfastness. Low Oil Content.

Cadmium Sulphide, but with a greater degree of calcination than that used for the Cadmium Lemon Yellow, producing a very dense and lean mid-shade warm yellow which is virtually indispensable as a foundation colour for warm mixes of all kinds.

PY35. Fast Drying. Semi-Opaque. Excellent lightfastness. Low Oil Content.

Cadmium Sulphide, with, as its name suggests, a greeny, tangy, sulphurous edge to it which does not run through mixes with quite the same strength as an Arylide lake. An inorganic pigment which lightens and increases the opacity of warm mixes without overthrowing them. The Cadmium range of pigments was introduced into production 1840-1890, as soon as costs permitted, and has proved the most artistically reliable of all the metal compounds discovered in the 19th century.

PB15.3 & PW4. Average Drying. Opaque. Excellent Lightfastness. Low Oil Content.

PR 83. Slow Drying. Transparent. Good Lightfastness. High Oil Content. The oldest synthetic organic lake, introduced in 1868, and the only one of the coal-tar lake range to have survived in use until the present, the others having been found to be too impermanent for artistic use before the end of the 19th century. Itself a replacement for the somewhat unreliable organic Natural Madder (a dye made from a crushed plant root), Alizarin is frowned upon by certain Americans because its lightfastness (II-III on the ASTM scale), does not match that attained in the more recent organic pigments. But its clarity and subtly beautiful bluish undertones are unique, and, since its introduction, portraitists have greatly prized its range of cool, rather smoky hues, so well suited for rendering facial flesh.

PW 6 Titanium Dioxide. PW4 Zinc Oxide. Very slow Dryer, Very Opaque, Excellent Lightfastness, High Tint Power, Non-toxic.

Bound with with Safflower oil. Safflower oil dries to a robust film, which means that this paint can be overpainted with a low risk of later cracking. It yellows comparably less to linseed oil, and handles in a similar way. This is the most brilliant non-toxic White in the range, suitable for cool, opaque light hues, and generally as a highly keyed mixer

PY 43. Fast drying, semi-transparent.French Yellow Ochre is a glowing natural yellow. Ochre, an iron oxide earth pigment, can be traced back to paintings from the Middle Stone Age. Landscapes painters and portrait painters alike will find uses for this soft, natural yellow pigment.

PR 101. Very Fast Drying. Transparent. Excellent Lightfastness. Average Oil Content.

An Iron Oxide manufactured to such small pigment particle size that it shows, like its Yellow counterpart, almost lake-like characteristics. Terrific tint power which produces wonderful results in mixes with yellows, and which can give gravity to mid-red tones.

This is a 200ml tube of Daler Rowney Graduate Oil paint. The addition of modern drying agents makes this range reach surface dryness in just 4 or 5 days, while remaining easy to mix and suitable in texture for both smooth brush and impasto work. This is a tube of Titanium White.
