## Description

Product Description The enhanced water colour, offering the widest choice of pigments and the high possible permanence. 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. Set Contains: 24 x Half Pans

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.
Review: This is the Windsor and Newton Professional watercolor brand. I am new to watercolor painting and I've been trying to learn with cheaper paints. The beginning of learning watercolor painting is frustrating, and there's a lot to learn. I want to know that the mistakes I'm seeing in my work aren't because of poor paint brand choices. I'd prefer to start out on the right foot with high quality paint, paper, brushes, tutorials, etc. Windsor and Newton makes high quality paints and paper at a reasonable price. This set was on sale for $145. This pan is all metal, the paint pucks are creamy hard and shiny. I have to peel all the individual wrappers off the 24 paint pucks. They are sitting nicely in the pan, they kind of snap into place but they do fall out of their spaces if the pan is flipped around and you have to out them back. I'm not planning on traveling with this so I probably won't have to worry about paint pucks spilling around inside the pan to a greater extent. I've read many really high reviews about Windsor and Newton Professional watercolor paint and I'm looking forward to my journey using them. The delivery was super fast, within 2 days, which is rare, the parcel/paints arrived in pristine condition, well wrapped, and they are the professional line, and not the cotman line. You can see the Professional brand name on the wrapper.

## 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

*by J***E on 22 November 2025*

I love this product and have purchased it more than once. Top rated watercolours by a reputable brand that give quality results I am only sad to see that price for Australian customers has more than doubled over the last few months. The current price is double that of the price I paid to purchase - I would buy this W&N product again however only at the original discount price that I bought it in April 2025. Prices in Nov 25 are 50% more inflated and not accessible to most people - if they go on sale again I will then purchase again. For now I will enjoy the set I purchased in April.
