Finally added this to my

"Finally added this to my palette, and so glad I did. I take classes and it was perfect timing, we needed to use a very transparent yellow for our weekly project. I would also add that the general consensus of the class was that the Winsor Newton colors are far superior to almost all the other brands students used. The closest would be Daniel Smith, which our instructor tested our last semester, but she switched back to Winsor Newton."

French Ultramarine Review

"I bought this as it was recommended in an online tutorial. I use it as a base for a variety of colours, especially for shadows. I find it's slightly grainy which adds a lovely texture to a painting when applied. I'll be using it more in the future."
