## Description

Winsor and newton Cotman water colours are a range of water colours that are made to Winsor newton's quality standards, but costs are reduced by substituting traditional pigments with less expensive modern pigments. The range offers excellent lightfastness, good tinting strength, good transparency and true optical working properties. Cotman water colours come in 40 beautiful tones. They're but uncompromising on quality - they have excellent tinting strength and are easy to work with. The Cotman watercolour half pan studio set of 45 colours includes full range of Cotman watercolours plus one extra of each of the most popular colours. The 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. Costs 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 range offers a balanced spectrum of 40 colours which are available in half pans, 8ml tubes and 21ml tubes.

Review: Dream watercolour kit at a budget price - I'd been meaning to get the Cotman field kit for a while but the prices were much higher in other stores. As soon as I saw the price on desertcart, I placed the order. I was a little doubtful about the item as there's a newer version now called the Field Pocket Set (previous one is Field Box, as per the official site) and it's almost the same as the Professional set in price. The seller actually got me the newer version at a slightly higher price than the old version in the States, which is completely fine considering shipping. My order was supposed to arrive in 2 and a half weeks as it was being imported from the States but I received it in 1 and a half weeks instead! There was a small issue with the original tracking number and I reached out to desertcart customer support and they got in touch with the seller who updated it. Coming to the actual kit... The exterior is completely white in colour (old kit was navy blue) and I'll probably add some stickers to make it look a bit more attractive. The colours are less pigmented compared to Brustro and Faber-Castell that I've used in the past (I'm guessing the professional ones are different), but they still look rich and wash off easily which is good as there's limited water that one can carry. The bottle that comes in the kit can fill the container completely only once. To swatch the colours, I filled just half of the container and the water was usable even after that. Overall, I think it's a good choice for urban sketching and painting. I still need to paint and experiment and see how it works in the future.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you refill the blocks?**
A: I've read (on Winsor Newton's info page) that you cannot refill half pans with Winsor Newton watercolor tube paints,  as they are formulated differently and will not work well when completely dry. However, Daniel Smith and Holbein watercolors can be used to refill your half pans. M. Graham also works well though they take a long time to dry in a pan because they have honey in them.

**Q: How long does it last?**
A: I have the 48 half pan set and I have had this palette for three years and It has lasted me! You can buy cartridges to replace the colors instead of a whole new palette. I love this palette! It is my first palette that I can refill! The paints are beautiful and I love combining this palette with tubes as well! But anyways to answer your question they will last you a long time! I have half pans that are lasting me forever and I paint every day! And these are full pans so they really will last you! I highly recommend these!

**Q: Is the case air tight , non leaking for travel?**
A: I have traveled across the world with this and kept it in a small ziplock baggie, and even when the colors are a bit moist there is no leaking into the bag that I've experienced.

**Q: What are names of the 12 colors in the box?**
A: Receive my box in June 10th and came with two repeated colors: 02 ultramarine, 02 intense blue :( still deciding if going to return. :(
