Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Paint Set, 12 Half Pans w/ Water Brush Pen and Mixing Palette

Im keeping these bc I like the travel box, but the paints themselves are disappointing. They are waxy and sit on top of paper Ive come to trust. They dont respond like any professional watercolor Ive ever used. So disappointed.

I bought them to start painting and Im really happy with them. The colours are really pigmented and the brush is easy to use. I also use them to paint outside and this brush its perfect for this purpouse

After using my friends Winsor and Newton watercolours, I immediantly set off to by my own. Overall, I was quite pleased with the product as I found the colours were mixable and pigmented. The size of the box is really nice for travelling as well. The brush was as I expected it to be - okay. It doesnt work as well as my pentel aquash but still applies paint to paper, which is what it was made to do. I personally enjoyed the colour selection (sorry for my bad swatches) but I do wish that they swapped out alizarin crimson hue for a brighter red shade. The worst thing about the product is just that about half the paints came out of their pans so better glue would be better. However, I am still pleased with the product!

I recently had bought the Winsor & Newton Cotman Brush Pen Set for my birthday last month and so far I had encounter some problems but overall I really liked this paint set. PROS: ◾Color Selection are great for mixing! I tend to mix pastel, bright or warm colors for my drawings and there wasnt any color which I felt was either unnecesarry or bad. ◾Good for Traveling, The size of this set easily fits into the small compartment infront of my bag! With a water brush and tissue paper you can easily paint your sketch and clean the paint on the mixing well with the tissue paper. ◾The Design of the set makes it so that the mixing wells stays flat while the paint is tilted forward to face you which makes it easier to see the paint when your using the paint set. ◾Removable Pans the pans are removable so if you dislike some colors or want to refill the empty pan you can easily switch it out. CONS: ◾The Brush Pen broke after I had only use it for a while. The stuff that was holding the brush in place broke off while I painting which ended up pushing the brush tip inside and I couldnt fix due to the brush pens design. ◾The Pans easily falls out of the palette but this is easily fixable with some blue tack. Overall, I really like the design and quality of the paint set but I do think that you should switch out the brush pen with a better quality brush pen or a travel brush, which is saddening to hear as the paint set is called the brush pen set I would recommend this set to students and beginners who want to paint while traveling.

Love this little pallet! So perfect for travel and the colors allow for great mixing! I only wish instead of the two blacks/grey there was a burnt umber pat instead! But i still love this especially for how cheap it is.

I have been very pleased with this little brush pen set. Even though it is student grade and not professional paint, it still has beautiful, vibrant colors. I love to paint while sitting on my back porch and it is so easy to grab and go. I am running out of a few of the colors and will be ordering another set soon. I didnt really like the brush pen, but already have several sets of my favorites so this isnt a big deal to me. The paint alone is well worth the price. I would highly recommend this product.

very nice .....love the waterpen too....will recommend to anyone

Ive had this watercolor palette for months now and Im still having a great time learning and playing around with it!! I recommend it for sure for anyone wanting to try out watercolors
