Since 1832 when Henry Newton and William Winsor introduced the first moist water colours to the world, much of our reputation for high quality has stemmed from the artist's water colour range. Since then artis'ts water colour continues to be formulated and manufactured according to founding principles, to create an unparalleled water colour range which offers artists the widest and balanced choice of pigments with the possible permanence.Each colour within this wide spectrum of 96 colours has been selected and formulated to offer the high choice so that artists can use a palette that suits their work.Both artist's water colour pan and tube colours are made individually to the higher standard. Pan colour is often used by beginners because it can be less inhibition and easier to control the strength of colour. Tube colour is popular overall and is ideal for those who use high volumes of colour or stringer washes of colours. Of course, artists can use both in any combination they choose.

They are AMAZING, with rich, deep colours. I was initially surprised by the small pots of pigments, but after trying them out I realized that these will last me for years! The pigments are so rich that a little goes a long, long way. I gave all rating options a 5 because I am absolutely delighted with the set! Truth be told though, I don't know what "sheerness" means - I'd just assume more water, more sheerness... but that is because I have zero experience or knowledge of such things. I highly recommend this set. Review: Saw the older reviews about this being a scam and the pans being replaced with cotman, tin broken etc, but decided to take a gamble and purchase anyways. I had absolutely no problems! Arrived fast and the tin is in great condition, the watercolors were all professional grade and nothing is broken. ## Features - FINE ART PIGMENTS - Our range uses only the finest pigments which is why they are known for their brilliance, permanence and strength of colour, With 79 single pigment colours, we offer the widest range of modern and traditional pigments - TRANSPARENT COLOUR - Formulated using the highest quality methods to achieve optimal pigment dispersion, our unrivalled transparency means every wash will remain vibrant and luminescent - LIGHTFAST AND PERMANENT - 104 out of 108 colours in the Professional Watercolour range are rated AA or A for permanence to ensure that the colours used today will appear the same for generations to come - Discover 24 of our finest Professional Watercolours with unrivalled performance, They have a high concentration of fine art pigments for lightfastness and permanence, The half pans are in a travel tin that has an integral palette in the lid, a hinged flap for mixing and tinting, a thumb ring in the base, and a space for a brush - Half pan colours are ideal to use whilst travelling, Half pans are popular with artists who paint infrequently, as the paints may be left for a long periods of time between uses, without affecting their quality - SET CONTAINS - 24 x Professional Watercolour half pans: Winsor Lemon, Winsor Yellow , Cadmium-Free Yellow, Winsor Orange Cadmium-Free Red, Alizarin Crimson, Permanent Rose, Permanent Magenta, Winsor Violet (Dioxazine), Indanthrene Blue, French Ultramarine, Winsor Blue (Green Shade), Cerulean Blue, Winsor Green (Blue Shade), ’s Green, Permanent Sap Green, Olive Green, Yellow Ochre, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Raw Umber, Burnt Umber, Payne’s Gray, Ivory Black ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001M6VMTY | | Best Sellers Rank | #27,529 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #782 in Art Paints | | Brand Name | Winsor & Newton | | Color | Multicolor | | Color Code | #FFF700 | | Container Type | Box | | Coverage | 240-360 square meters per 24 pans | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,295) | | Dry Time In Hours | 24 | | Finish Type | Metallic | | Full Cure Time | 1 Hours | | Included Components | Sketcher metal box containing 24 means godet | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Form | Solid | | Item Volume | 5 Milliliters | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Winsor & Newton | | Manufacturer Contact Information | 9892564881 | | Model Name | Winsor & Newton Professional Water Colour Lightweight Metal Box, 24 Half Pans | | Model Number | 0190553 | | Paint Type | Watercolor | | Part Number | 0190553 | | Size | 1 count (Pack of 1) | | Special Features | Long Lasting | | Specific Uses For Product | Pans | | Surface Recommendation | Paper | | UPC | 094376917444 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Winsor & Newton - **Colour:** Multicolor - **Finish type:** Metallic - **Item volume:** 5 Milliliters - **Size:** 1 count (Pack of 1) ## Images ![Professional Water Colour Lightweight Metal Box, 24 Half Pans - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818yfBVsZTL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Please list the colors included in the set.** A: I just received my set, 2/24/22. Here are the colors I was given: Lemon Yellow, Winsor Yellow, Transparent Yellow, Winsor Orange, Winsor Red, Permanent Crimson, Permanent Rose, Winsor Violet (Dioxazine), French Ultramarine, Winsor Blue (Green Shade), Olive Green, Permanent Sap Green, Winsor Green (Blue Shade), Cerulean Blue, Indanthrene Blue, Indigo, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber, Raw Umber, Yellow Ochre, Payne's Gray, Ivory Black, Chinese White. Regarding the lists customers have given, I didn't get Cobalt, Prussian Blue, Viridian, Indian Red, Aureolin, Indian Yellow, but I did get Transparent Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Winsor Green (Blue Shade), Olive Green, Permanent sap Green, Indanthrene Blue. Transparent Yellow looks very similar to Raw Sienna. Permanent Rose looks almost the same as Permanent Alizarin Crimson. I really wanted Hooker's Green!! **Q: How do you secure the watercolor pans inside of the case so they don't slide around?** A: If you remove the pans, then push the little metal bracket inward, it should require you to kind of snap the pan back into place. It should offer enough resistance to keep the pan from sliding around. Worse case scenario you could always use a little double sided tape underneath the pans, but just bending the brackets should do the trick. **Q: What does " Actual contents may vary" mean? Is the description of the contents not accurate such as the paint colors?** A: I ordered my 24-color set on 2/11/2020 and I received all the colors as described in the photo except for Viridian--I got Winsor Green instead. **Q: Is this a knock-off? it looks different on d. blick; the pan wrappings, the $42.88 price difference, etc. is it actually good quality?** A: I've seen different pan´s wrappers W & N in this box. I can not expand my opinion because I have not used my last purchase. The plastic basket should describe the color code W & N ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***I on 6 February 2024* I'm new to watercolour and didn't want low quality supplies to be a stumbling block my process so I chose the professional grade paints.
