Winsor Newton Cotman Water Colour Paint Sketchers Pocket Box, Half Pans, 13 count Review

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Winsor Newton Cotman Water Colour Paint Sketchers Pocket Box, Half Pans, 13 count. I have tried many watercolor paint sets in the past, so I was interested to see how this one compared.

The box is a compact size that easily fits in a pocket or backpack, making it ideal for on the go painting. Inside, youll find 12 Cotman half pans of vibrant colors lemon yellow hue, cadmium yellow hue, cadmium red pale hue, alizarin crimson hue, ultramarine, intense blue phthalo blue , viridian hue, sap green, yellow ochre, burnt sienna, burnt umber and chinese white plus a pocket brush and tray. The integral mixing palette in the lid is a great feature that not all watercolor sets have.

The pigment quality of Winsor Newton paints is excellent and these are no exception. They provide good transparency and excellent tinting strength with good working properties. The colors are highly pigmented and blend well together to create some beautiful effects. The pocket brush is also of good quality and holds its shape even after multiple uses.

The price point of this set is very reasonable considering the number of colors included and the quality of the products. Its an affordable way to get started with watercolors or to expand your collection with some new colors. I would recommend it for both beginners looking to explore watercolors as well as experienced artists who want to add more shades to their palette without breaking the bank.

The Winsor Newton Cotman Water Colour Paint Sketchers Pocket Box is an excellent option for people who want a convenient way to take their art supplies with them wherever they go. Its easy to use and clean up is minimal due to the non toxic formula of these paints. The variety of colors included provides plenty of options for creativity while maintaining an affordable price point. All in all, its a great set that I would recommend highly!
