winsor & newton


i finally decided to upgrade my current poor man's gouache set by Reeves. $7 for 12 colors. what a deal right? no, not really. i was never able to get some solid opaque colors on the page, no matter how many applications of the same colors. so a few months ago i visited Pearl Paint and asked the gouache master there why i was failing at making my whites white, and my purps purp. he suggested that i get some paints of quality; namely, the ones by winsor & newton. but how could i afford to drop $7 for just 1 tube of paint, with no income?

winsor & newton designers gouache cost me $46 for only...6 tubes of basic colors. painfully small tubes compared to what i'm used to. but i am really happy with the amount of pigment in the paint.

anyway, here's something to look at

  1. In america you get what you pay for, except when it comes to health care coverage. Love what you can do with just that purple wash.
