Winsor and Newton Cotman Half Pan Cerulean Blue Hue

I got this for a friend who I inspired to do watercolouring, and my friend wanted a small set that they could take around on their travels. I stumbled on this item, and what made me select it were the brand, the size, the water brush, and the price. My friend has used this with great results and was so impressed that they wanted a second one for a friend. The pair love this, and for its size, price and materials, it is a bargain for watercolour painters! Grab whilst you can and at that price!!

Great little set, perfect size, great quality, excellent range of colours.

The quality of this product is outstanding, great paints, brush and the plastic case isn't at all flimsy. I wish it came with a red instead of the pink although permanent rose is very beautiful and I'm sure you can still mix a wide variety of colours substituting red for pink. Depending on your bag or how much your plan to carry the size could be something to consider as it's the size of my entire hand when closed. It's very easy to clean and the small bottle to hold the water is durable. I Haven't made any art with it yet but during my colour swatch the paint were hardy and looked nice ever after being watered down. I would reccomend if you have the money as its definitely worth the price, any artist would love this and many other winsor and newton products. Although the price is steep is a great buy.

I have recently joined an art class and I am now attempting watercolours. I bought this set of paints on the recommendation of my art tutor. This is the brand which she herself uses. I had previously bought a much cheaper set of paints but she pointed out that the finish which they gave was very "chalky". This set was expensive but the finish is clearly superior to my cheaper set. You get a good range of colours in a convenient travel case. The case has trays for you to mix your colours in and also comes with one paint brush. My only complaint is that I found the box impossible to open. I took it, unopened, to my art class and found that both my tutor and another classmate had experienced exactly the same problem with their sets. Eventually, after some effort, my tutor managed to open the box for me and I was able to use the paints. Obviously, I had to close the box when the class finished and when I tried to open it again at home I could not do so! Eventually I had to use a knife to lever it open. This is ludicrous. Why has the manufacturer made it so difficult to open the box? Surely this is something which could be easily rectified? I have reduced my rating from 5* to 4* because of this.

These paints are a step up from the very cheap water colour paints. Make sure you use with a good quality 300 gsm cotton paper and you will be very pleased with the results.

love winsor paints 😊

This is very convenient it's small and lightweight! The colors are very vibrant and pigmented. Sometimes I add too much water and the paint becomes really soft so I have to leave it open to air try but that my fault, just something to be aware don't drench it in water. Compared to other places this is great value for money especially if you have a prime membership.

Excellent paints but very difficult to open the paint box

Belle palette d'aquarelle. Pratique à utiliser

初心者の私には使い易いサイズ感とお値段でした。 パレットを取り外せて洗える部分があるのが便利だと思います。 コットマンシリーズは、ウィンザーニュートンの透明水彩の中でも廉価版との事だったので迷いましたが、最初に使うには特に問題は無さそうです。 安いので、どんどん使って上達したいです^_^ 色にこだわりが出て来てから、プロシリーズに手を出しても良いのかなと思います。 もう6色絵の具を足せるスペースもあるし♪ 追記: Dioxazine purple ではなく、Indian Red が入っていました。 という事で茶色が多めで、自然物を描く私には結果的に良かったです。紙パッケージも変わっていますし、変更があったのかもしれません。

Les couleurs Winsor & Newton, même associée à la marque Cotman, sont réputées de par le monde ! Je recommande vivement l'achat de cette excellente marque d'aquarelle !

Bin von einem günstigen Pelikan-Schul-Wasserfarbkasten auf die Cotman-Farben von W&N aufgestiegen. Kann bisher nur positives berichten - die Farben sind deutlich intensiver im Vergleich (s. Foto, oben W&N, unten Schulfarbe), haben eine angenehmere Textur beim Malen, verlaufen toll bei nass-in-nass. Einzig die Näpfchen und der gesamte Kasten wirken auf den ersten Eindruck recht klein (s. 2. Foto im Vergleich), mal sehen, wie ergiebig die Farben sind. Für den Preis bisher wirklich ein tolles Upgrade für Hobbymaler*innen.
