Winner of Winsor & Newton Aurora Yellow watercolour paint

So further to the little YouTube Giveaway that I ran over the last couple of weeks, it's time to announce the winner of a very rare tube of Winsor & Newton Aurora Yellow watercolour paint - discontinued over 20 years ago!

I took the usernames of all the people who'd commented on the video AND subscribed to my blog AND YouTube channel, put your names into a spreadsheet, generated a random number in the next cell using the software then sorted them highest to lowest - the easiest way to pick someone totally at random was to do this then take the one at the top of the list:

As I'm going to be away for a short time from Friday onwards this week, I won't be able to ship it until next week - and I will be asking for addresses for spot-cards next week too for all the people who requested them.

There will be another giveaway in about 2 weeks time, so keep an eye out for it!

GIVEAWAY! Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour in 017 Aurora Yellow

Aurora Yellow was a two-pigment (Cadmium zinc sulfide and Cadmium sulfide) just-warm-of-neutral opaque mid-yellow that Winsor and Newton discontinued in 1996. I have several tubes of it that I managed to obtain in a clearance not long ago. These are very rare and hard to come by, and I'm giving some of them away as follows:

* I will make as many spot-cards of 017 Aurora Yellow as people request it on this youtube video's comments.

* If you want a whole tube to yourself, just subscribe to my blog (box at the top of the right column) AND to my YouTube channel and then comment on this video by 2359h BST Sunday 31st July, saying why you want to win it. You must be over 13 years old to enter. Anyone under 18 will, if they win, need to nominate an over-18 to receive the paint as it contains two cadmium pigments. If you're not subscribed to both my blog AND my channel by the closing date, you're unfortunately not eligible to enter, sorry.

[Please note the tubes are from the 1980s - all the ones I've opened are totally fine inside, but obviously I cannot guarantee the contents - if they have separated from the binder, just stir before use]

Good luck!
