Winsor & Newton Artists' Dammar Varnish

Winsor & Newton Artists' Dammar Varnish

Since 1832 Winsor & Newton have been built on a blend of art and science. Their materials are developed by a team of modern ‘colourmen’ with a background in chemistry, who manufacture quality colours and materials. Artists make up the staff throughout the business. Over the years, this artist-fronted approach has led to exciting developments in colours and materials, transforming the ways people make art. Winsor & Newton have been supporting artists in the community and making art accessible to everyone.

Through the eyes of the artist.
