Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor 1/2 Pans Studio 45-Pieces Set, Assorted

Very pigmented. Way better than my cheaper set

Great water color

Always top quality from these guys. Consistently great products for decades

Lovely colours but bit heavy to carry around but it's a pretty set . Few colours are given twice.

Originally I started out with a cheap $5 set prior to upgrading to W&N. I had kept hearing that the cheap watercolors behaved differently compared to 'student' grade watercolors of other brands. So I went ahead and got the W&N Cotman set. They definitely are different. The cat paintings is a side by side of the two. The right is the cheap set and the left is W&N. The cheap set was chalky and didn't play super nice with water, while W&N was 'creamy' and melded with the water. I also noticed it didn't dry quite as rapidly as the cheap set, allowing for more time to play with the colors. The colors themselves are much more vibrant and bold. There are a variety of colors, all so very pretty. The white and the black(s) behave nicely, the lamp black is impressive for watercolor allowing for a rich darkness in paintings. I set aside the extra pans to allow for a sponge. Also the pan has a paint brush spot! The bottom pan is removable, which is handy for cleaning. I really only have two complaints: 1. The pans do not snap into the tray, instead they 'float', so when the whole set is tilted or turned upside down the pans end up hitting the lid. All be it, they should be treated nice and not thrown around, but life accidents do happen. Solved this with a small dab of hot glue, so problem solved. 2. Some of the paint loaves (not sure what they are called) were not staying in their pans. Solved with applying a small amount of water into the pans before replacing the loaves and let them dry before moving. Cons solved! All in all, would I say skip the cheapy $5 set and spend 10x that? Not necessarily. If you have the money sure, or even buy a small W&N set. The cheapy set I had purchased did not blend well, so scared me into thinking watercolors did not blend nicely off paper. W&N sets blend wonderfully! So if you don't want to spend a bunch of money, get the small W&N sets. You can always upgrade later to the bigger set and have extras of the main colors (isn't a bad thing at all). Another side note about replacement half pans for US individuals. W&N does not sell them in the US. They are not at the big craft stores either (looking at you hob lob and michaels). However there are UK stores that do ship them to the US. EBAY has a couple of US sellers as well. I haven't purchased from any of them yet. Also if you end up liking the watercolors a bunch, W&N does ship the professional series half pans to the US, so you can upgrade as you use them, they are more expensive compared to the Cotman series though.

グラデーションが美しく表現されます。 パレットを見てるだけでもテンション上がります。素敵です！

Trae un pincel número 3 de regalo! Las acuarelas pigmentan bien y creo que funcionan para empezar en ese mundo de la acuarela. He pintado cosas muy lindas con ellas. Ya tengo varios meses con ellas, adjunto foto actual y de dos cuadritos que hice con ellas.

Set Studio 45 medio godet Espectacular!! Se trata de una completa caja de plastico blanco con capacidad para 48 medios godets, por lo q puedes añadir medio gotes sueltos. Los colores que trae son 40 diferentes mas 5 repetidos. Los repetidos son los basicos mas usados color blanco, negro, azul, amarillo y rojo. El nombre y codigo de cada color viene impreso en el envoltorio de papel y en el lateral del propio cacillo de plastico blanco de cada pigmento. El precio es extraordinario comparado con el mismo producto en otras webs. Adjunto varias fotos.
