W&N Professional Watercolour Stick

Winsor & Newton watercolour sticks are a versatile, highly-pigmented professional watercolor product that can be used dry like a pencil or wet to create washes, similar to traditional watercolors. They are available in a range of 48 colors and allow for a fluid transition between drawing and painting, with applications including adding detail with the square shape or blending with traditional watercolors.

How to use them:

• Dry application:
  • Apply the stick directly to paper like a pencil to create lines and marks.
• Wet application:
  • Dip the stick in water and apply directly to the surface.
  • Wet the paper with a brush and then use the stick on the wet surface.
• Combined techniques:
  • Apply the stick dry to paper, then wet the pigment with a brush to create a soft watercolor wash. This can be done even years after the initial application.
  • Add detail to existing watercolor artwork with the sticks.

Key features:

• Professional grade: They use the same high-quality pigments as the Winsor & Newton Professional watercolour tubes.
• Versatility: The square shape allows for a variety of line thicknesses, from fine details to broad strokes.
• Portability: They are ideal for both studio and outdoor use, making it easy to have professional-quality watercolors on the go.
• Intermixability: The sticks can be fully intermixed with other Winsor & Newton watercolor products.
