Would it be OK to paint with 'A' Winton oils and 'AA' Winsor Artists' oils on the same painting?

Yes, that would be fine, just be aware that the textures might be slightly different.Would it be OK to paint with 'A' Winton oils and 'AA' Winsor Artists' oils on the same painting?
Hi





The difference between Winton and Winsor is the quality based on the amount of pigment in each.


Both are made by Winsor and Newton, a very well respected art supply firm from England.


Winton oils are the student grade paint, while the Winsor AA are the Professionall artist grade. They will both work fine together as there is nothing in them that is incompatible.


The difference is that the better paint has more intense amounts of pigment (color) and less filler.


You will be fine to use both, but ultimately, when you can, upgrade all your paint to the professional grade. It goes further, will paint with better coverage, and all in all is worth the price.


If you cannot afford it at this time, stay with the student grade till you can.


You can mix and match any as long as they have the same medium in them-oil base-alykyd base-waterbase...etc.





Good luck and happy painting.


Let me know if I can help you any other way.

yes, it is ok to mix all kinds of different oil paint. The A and the AA are just signs of quality, which means that a better quality of raw materials: pigments and linen oil, were used in case of AA. IN any case Winsor are pretty good quality oil paint...Hope this helps you and that ypu will enjoy your work with them... :-)
You could. I've done it. Remember, though, that Winton is student grade and has less pigment than Windsor-Newton, which is artist grade for the same company.
yeah.. oil paint is oil paint.
