A popular Watercolour starter set, great for beginners and ideal as a top up for the serious watercolourist. Made to a high standard with great quality pigments, the paint has an excellent tinting strength and is incredibly easy to work with.

Create your own stunning masterpiece with this wonderful Winsor and Newton Cotman Watercolour Paint. Both high quality pigments and more affordable alternatives have been selected, to ensure the best value without compromise on quality. This is a well designed box of half pans, with a good open and close mechanism, unlike several other brands which seem to have very cheap catches on their boxes which I assume will not last well. Today, Winsor and Newton remain the premier choice for artists, offering a wide variety of fine art supplies including: oil, water colour, acrylic and alkyd paints, pastels, artists' brushes, canvases, papers and portfolios.Ranging from a set of 6 through to our popular Studio Set containing the entire range of 40 Cotman colours.

The Cotman Water Colour range has a more uniform consistency than the Artists' Water Colour range and this benefits beginners as there is less to learn about each individual pigment. Bought as a birthday present for my daughter who is doing her Art GCSE - fantastic tones and depth to the colours, which she is absolutely ecstatic with. As part of our ongoing sustainability journey as a B Corp certified brand, we’re transitioning the packaging of our Watercolour Sets to 100% recycled plastic.The only reason I haven't given it five stars is because it is a lot smaller looking than I expected. Winsor and Newton have produced this economical watercolour paint by using less expensive materials rather than the more costly pigments without compromising on quality and colour clarity.
