Winsor & Newton Watercolor Mediums

Winsor Newton employs exacting standards in the production and development of all of their Winsor Newton Watercolour Mediums. Mediums help artists to alter and enhance the characteristics of the watercolour that they are using. By adding the appropriate medium, you can further expand your painting options by increasing granulation or texture, improve blending and lifting, create iridescence, reduce drying time to any watercolor in your watercolor art supply. Mediums do not have the ability to enhance lightfastness or create transparency in a watercolor paint that is not ordinarily transparent. Mediums do provide watercolorists with almost limitless opportunities to apply many variations on their watercolor paintings without compromising the quality of the paint.
