PigmentsCosts are kept to an economical level by replacing some of the more costly pigments with less expensive alternatives. Pigments derive from a number of sources: Some are natural products, notably the earths, eg. umbers, ochres; others come from metal compounds and are sometimes termed ‘traditional’ or ‘genuine’, eg. ultramarine. The distillation of petroleum yields an ever widening range of organic pigments which are often termed as ‘modern’. Many of the pigments used in Cotman are organic. | Colour RangeThe Cotman Water Colour range has a more uniform consistency than the Professional Water Colour range and this benefits beginners as there is less to learn about each individual pigment. The Cotman Water Colour range also relates to the Winsor & Newton Professional Water Colour range, e.g. Burnt Sienna in both ranges has the same hue. This enables artists to use colours from both ranges with minimal adjustment to their technique. | White in the RangeTraditionally the white of the paper provides the brilliance to water colour and can be used as highlights. However, some artists utilize Chinese White for highlights at the end of their painting or in dulling some colour mixtures down. |

Super product for beginners to watercolor painting. Nice selection of basic colors!
Perfect for a beginner watercolor student. The pigments are bright and vibra
I love the size, it is perfect for my travel art kit. Great color and price. Would definitely recommend buying this.
It was a wonderful birthday gift for my granddaughter. She is in to panting and wants to try watercolou
Perfect set to start painting. Comfortable palette and good detail brush with it.
I love this watercolor. I don’t think I’ll ever use any other. The paints are so vibrant and easy to mix. the palette is easy to keep organized and clean. The Only thing I wish was different was the red. It’s really pale.
Excellent quality for the price. I loved the selection of colors included in the set. Professiona.
Le set est vraiment super pour commencer l’aquarelle avec un trs bon prix qui est 50% moins cher chez Amazon Prime.
Very easy to mix and don’t need much to make a painting. You can save paint and use them after again.
Excellent watercolor tube set! Very bright colors! Comes with a very sturdy plastic box, one quality n.3 brush and two palettes. Absolutely recommended for artists and beginners!
Great kit for someone who wants to get introduced to watercolours that wants work with better than your average paints. Compact case that came with trays and a brush.
Gift for family member has everything to get started in water colour.
Lleg antes de lo previsto.
Los colores son muy vivos, son perfectos para principiantes, trae un pincel delgado (3 mm de espesor). Tienes mucho espacio para mezclar , y cada tubo tiene por lo menos un poco ms de lo que trae una pastilla de acuarela.
This is a lovely set of paints, I would definitely purchase this agai
I bought these watercolors for my Intro to Costumes and Design class. We used them to watercolor our rendering drawings. At first it was a little hard to get used to, because once you open a tube, the paint kind of explodes out. However, once you get used to this, the paints are really great! They’re super pigmented and rich, and I love them so much! They’re also great for mixing lots of different colors, and I love the basic range of 12 colors. I do wish there was a more deeper blue red though! Overall really like them for beginners such as myself!
Metto 4 stelle sono perch i tubetti sono veramente piccolissimi, 5 ml sono troppo pochi, ma la resa dei colori veramente eccezionale.
Great little starter set to take with you. Student grade paints but very nice built in palettes you can configure.
Very affordable!
Buenas acuarelas para iniciarse. Faltan algunos colores y sobran otros
Work just like expexted..old paints had dried out…good mix of basic colors and good value.
The durable outside container hold the watercolors nicely. It is fabulous to have all the mixing space that is provided.
I don’t find any lack of vibrancy in these colors. I don’t know how they will hold up to the test of time but for my use these will go a very long way.
This is the 5th purchase of Windsor & Newton paints. The teenagers love this set. It’s very portable and easy to take with us to paint outdoors.
If you want to encourage watercolor painting with kids this is a perfect set to start with.
Colors are bright not muted and easy to mix. The trays are perfect to mix paint when your on a location or just at home.
I’m able to teach them simple techniqes just with this set.
Cotman Watercolours Painting Plus 12 Tubes
If you’re new to watercolour painting and want an affordable set that is reliable without costing the earth and moon, then this is the set I would recommend. The colours may not be as intense as the professional series which is really pure pigment, but they are still very vibrant and fluid and to gain the intensity of the professional series you will have to layer more. I particularly like this set because of its portability and range of palettes. You can easily scale up from small to large paintings because of the deep wells in the second pallet. With the 12 tubes that come with this set you can make up to 150 colours which I think is ample for any beginner. Just remember even with the best watercolours in the world your paintings will always be dull if you only use poor quality paper. With this set, a good brush and a good quality watercolour paper you can’t go wrong.
An excellent product that I take everywhere with me! Winsor & Newton is hands down my favorite watercolor brand.
Purchased for Christmas present and it seems to be excellent gift.
I love this set of paints. Pricy for student grade, they are worth every penny. The colors are vibrant with a great pigment load. High
T recommended.
The pigment is strong and the products on itself is lovable, would buy again !
The paints are nice. However, the container is a bit clumsy to open, hence not using it very open. Instead I poured my paints in half pans in a different bin. If I were to do again, I would buy paints separately.
This was a very good price for a really good product.
The palette is quite nice as well. Not as bulky as some palettes, but not as compact as an altoids tin. And if you have your doubts about the chosen colors, my solution was taking out the white and black (included) and purchasing (separately) a lemon yellow and sap green. Also, keep in mind that this set can be further customized by buying half/full pans (separately) and hot gluing them in if you want a personalized pan palette. It will really only hold one full size brush, but will also hold one 4ml Sakura water brush and tip if you leave one of the 4 sections open. This is one of the most versatile Cotman sets.
I will be using a combination of full and half pans to house 16 colors in this set, using only 3 of the sections and allowing room for my water brush.
These are great for a beginner like me, really helped me get into painting with watercolors. Carry case is fantastic, just the right size, sturdy, and it’s nice having palettes in the box.
It’s just what I thought it would be coming from Winsor & Newton.
um in die Kunst der Aquarellmalerei einzutauchen der perfekte Start an Farben! Tolle Qualitt, schne Strahlkraft! Lediglich das integrierte Mischpult zum ausklappen ist gewhnungsbedrftig.
Very happy with this purchase. Winsor & Newton are so expensive in Australia it is just ridiculous. Thank you Amazon for making it possible for me to purchase quality art products at affordable prices.
Paints are good, delivery was good, price was excellent. nothing to complain about, bought two sets and the price could not be beat.
There are eight mixing holes built into the container itself (about 2.5 inches and 1 1/3 inches), and another mixing palette becomes available by popping it out of the container. The built in mixing container was not too useful for me because I move around a lot while painting, but the removable mixing palette was very nice. I received a Cotman brush which was decent quality and good for a beginner. The paints are locked in place via a snug/snap style housing, so you don’t have to worry about paint tube rolling all over the place
The paint was very smooth and the colors were concentrated and vibrant.
I must mention is that the container is slightly awkward to open. It says “Press Here to Open”, and as soon as you do that it opens up easily, but it has such an awkward feel to the way it opens. While I have not damaged my container yet, the plastic does feel weak and I worry about what may happen if I drop it from the table.
So to recap:
Pros:
1. Excellent price!
2. Great selection of paint colors (12).
3. Awesome for beginners and comes with everything to start.
4. Paint quality is very good.
Cons:
1. Plastic kit container.
2. Awkward feel when opening.
