Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor, 5ml, Winsor Violet Dioxazine

I am a beginner at watercolor, but because I was frustrated with the results I was getting with cheap paints and paper, I decided to get the good paints and 100% cotton paper, even though the cost was a stretch for me. The difference it makes is phenomenal and suddenly I like my paintings. After a lot of research and reading of reviews I decided on Winsor and Newton, and I knew from the very first time I used them that they were a game changer for me. The paint is highly pigmented, goes a long way, rewets excellently, and the colors are beautiful and can be layered effectively. I am delighted with these paints. If you are doing watercolor, even if you are a beginner, get good paints like these, and use 100% cotton paper. You will be glad you did.

I have used this in several paintings recently and find that a blends very well into the same landscape along with chromium green oxide, Windsor violet, and indigo. When I tried to replace it with a different brand it was a completely different color. So I went to Jerry's Artarama to find the accurate color in the brand that I needed.

Whoever came up with color is brilliant, pun intended. It's bright and beautiful and enhances the colors next to it. Being professional quality, it's a joy to work with. It performs exactly as you want and expect it to perform. A must for every watercolor palette.

Winsor Newton is my go-to brand in regards to watercolor paints. I needed a shiny black to offset my mars black color and Winsor Newton had the solution.

I have been a customer for many years. The quality of the product as well as selection is the best ! The ease of ordering can not go without mentioning. . What are you waiting for 👀

My order arrived very quickly July. A paper sample was included. Thank you. I refilled my travel palettes and have been painting my watercolors. The heavy body acrylics are helping with the quick dry-out problem.

Lovely Indigo color. I use this for a lot of "dark" areas: Night skies, shadows etc. Straight out of the tube you can use it as a black substitute.

Beautiful blue very rich makes beautiful greens, browns and blacks. YouTube artist uses only Windsor red, Windsor yellow and Windsor blue green shade. you can mix almost any color with these three primaries.

I use a lot of this color. It is a great option to desaturate colors or to use as a black when you want a little depth to it. I have 3 colors that I use a lot of and this is one of them.

Beware, this is not a single pigment, but a blend that isn't even close to any ultramarine blue. I have made paint from the eeal pigment. This isn't it.
