Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylics are highly pigmented and high quality, just like Winsor & Newton's other professional colour ranges.

Professional Acrylic offers a smooth, thick, and buttery consistency, which makes it very versatile.

This enables paints to be blended more easily and mixed with mediums, or even water for watercolour techniques. These colours retain brushstrokes and the profile of the paint for excellent impasto effects. They also dilute gradually as water or medium is added, giving artists the maximum control over their paint.

The binder used is completely clear, preventing wet to dry colour shift.

The majority of the range is made with single pigments which ensures that colour brilliance is maintained when mixing. These paints have a longer working time than most acrylics, while still being quite quick drying.
