Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor, 5ml, Cerulean Blue Red Shade

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.
