## Description

From the manufacturer Winsor & Newton Cotman Water Colour Cotman Water Colours are a range of water colours that are made to our normal high quality standards but costs are kept to an economical level by replacing some of the more costly pigments with less expensive alternatives. This exclusive compact Field Box has been designed to be light-weight and fit snugly into the pocket while providing everything required for successful outdoor water colour painting. Constructed in durable blue plastic, the Field Box opens up to reveal: a Pocket brush, an Artists’ sponge, a 35 milliliters capacity water bottle, a Clip-on water container, 12 Cotman Water Colour half pans: Cadmium Yellow Pale Hue, Cadmium Yellow Hue, Cadmium Red Pale Hue, Alizarin Crimson Hue, Ultramarine, Cobalt Blue hue, Viridian Hue, Sap Green, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Chinese White. Actual contents may vary. Pigments 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, e.g. umbers, ochres; others come from metal compounds and are sometimes termed 'traditional' or 'genuine', e.g. 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 Range 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. White in the Range Traditionally 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.

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.
