    Each painting in the collection features brilliant color and a matte finish. Winsor & Newton has been manufacturing their Designers Gouache paint since 1935. While some things, such as the outstanding quality of the product, have remained the same, improvements have been made in other areas.

    These gouache paints are now more opaque, brilliant and smoother than they were in earlier decades.

    Used by fine artists, designers and calligraphers, fans of these paints say that they are incredibly bright and cover extremely well since they are so full of pigment. Moreover, the paint doesn’t lift off when adding layers. Some people do say that they feel the set is too expensive. Winsor & Newton Designers' Gouache Primary Color 6-Tube Paint Set, 14ml
