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

Love this little kit. Its super portable and has a good range of basic colors. Great for painting outdoors. The brushpen it comes with lets a little too much water thru for my liking but I take the brush part off and use it like a regular paintbrush and it works very nicely. This kit probably wouldnt be the best for making finished watercolor pieces but is perfect for watercolor sketches or small subject studies.

Pretty good definitely not the most pigmented but good for beginners

Beautiful colors!

Really smooth, cheap, and easy to use water colors. 10/10 would recommend

I love this set so much, the colors are so pigmented and smooth. They are also very blendable. I have included an image of the swatches both dark and light.

Given as a gift

Pretty decent quality. I still prefer professional over Cotman, but the color payout is great for the price. My only qualm is with the Lemon Yellow Hue; it is far less pigmented and rich than the other colors (because it’s a hue), and I have used better Lemon Yellow Hues from other brands that are by no means as high esteemed as Windsor & Newton. Hence the 4 stars. But the quantity of paint is quite good and I believe this will last me awhile, even though I’ve been using it to paint 11x14 paintings, rather than solely as a travel kit.

This is a great set for beginners and intermediate artists. The colors are very good and I was able to mix different colors to make skin tones. I didnt use the brush pen provided in the kit. It was uncomfortable for me to use so i bought regular paint brushes.

Great colors though you cant really tell whats what unless you use it sometimes so theres risk of using the wrong color. Color looks different on paper.

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.
