Review: An ideal watercolor starter set for beginners - Several years ago, I decided to follow some tutorials from my high school art book and take watercolors more seriously. I bought quality paper (Strathmore, cellulose 300 gsm; at the time, I wasn't aware of the difference between cotton and cellulose) and a decent watercolor set without compromising my finances. Good watercolors can be quite expensive. So, in December 2016, I ordered this sketch set that was on discount, and I have no regrets. I can proudly say that these were my first watercolors from a reputable brand, even though they are student/academy quality. - The box/presentation: The plastic box doesn't feel cheap; it's very sturdy. However, since the lid doesn't come off, it's sometimes difficult to clean the edge where the hinge of the mixing tray is. To address this, I carefully remove all the half pans and wash the entire box from time to time. It has a small and compact size. The closed box measures 13x6 cm. - Colors / Half-Pans: The colors seemed very good to me at that time, with excellent pigmentation. While they can't compare to professional watercolors, they were a great option for a beginner who wanted to enjoy learning the technique. Many purist watercolorists may disagree with the inclusion of white, but I found it useful for adding details and experimenting with pastel colors. The ability to experiment made it worthwhile to have in the set. The set includes two yellows, two reds, two blues, and two greens, each in warm and cool versions, plus three earth tones. This selection helped me learn how to mix colors to get the shades I wanted. Initially, seeing a palette of 48 colors was overwhelming, but this smaller set was more manageable. I would have preferred if they had included the pigment numbers on the side, but it only lists the color names. However, you can find this information on the official Winsor & Newton website. - Brush: I still have the brush that came with the set, but it's not for daily use. It serves the set's main purpose, which is to make sketches, but I usually painted on 9x12 inches paper (the size of the notebook I bought at the time), so I often used larger brushes. The round brush is of decent quality and good for making details. I'm very happy to have learned the basics of watercolor technique with this set. Below, I will share the pigments for this set, if it helps anyone: - Lemon Yellow Hue: PY175 - Cadmium Yellow Hue: PY65, PY97 - Cadmium Red Pale Hue: PR255, PY65 - Alizarin Crimson Hue: PR206 - Ultramarine: PB29 - Intense Blue (Phthalo Blue): PB15 - Viridian Hue: PG7 - Sap Green: PG36, PR101, PY139 - Yellow Ochre: PY42 - Burnt Sienna: PR101 - Burnt Umber: PBr7, PY42 - Chinese White: PW5 ## Features - Watercolours - Imported - Winsor & Newton Cotman Water Colours are a range of water colours that are made to our high quality standards but costs are kept to an economical level by replacing some of the more costly pigments with less expensive alternatives - Cotman Water Colours possess good transparency, excellent tinting strength and good working properties - This popular pocket-sized plastic box features an integral mixing palette in the lid - This water colour set contains a pocket brush and 12 Cotman Water Colour half pans: 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, Chinese White - 12 colors (plus 1 brush and tray) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00004THXI | | Age Range Description | teen | | Best Sellers Rank | #333 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #18 in Art Paints | | Brand | Winsor & Newton | | Brand Name | Winsor & Newton | | Color | Multicolor | | Color Code | Not Available | | Container Type | Box | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 20,377 Reviews | | Finish Type | High-Gloss | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00787269589124, 05012572005784 | | Included Components | 1 x WN Cotman Sketchers Pocket Box , XCFC640 | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Type Name | Watercolor Paint Set | | Item Volume | 1500 cubic centimeters | | Item Weight | 0.09 kg | | Manufacturer | ColArt Americas | | Model Name | Cotman | | Model Number | 390640 | | Paint Type | Watercolor | | Part Number | 0390640 | | Size | 3.17 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Special Feature | Durability | | Special Features | Durability | | Specific Uses For Product | Watercolor Paint | | Surface Recommendation | Indoor | | Unit Count | 3.17 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Winsor & Newton - **Color:** Multicolor - **Finish Type:** High-Gloss - **Item Volume:** 1500 cubic centimeters - **Paint Type:** Watercolor - **Size:** 3.17 Ounce (Pack of 1) - **Special Feature:** Durability - **Specific Uses For Product:** Watercolor Paint - **Surface Recommendation:** Indoor - **Unit Count:** 3.17 Ounce ## Images ![Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Paint Set, Sketchers' Pocket Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814Z75k-dDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## 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. :( ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So easy for portable painting! *by K***T on July 8, 2026* You'll never go wrong with Winsor & Newman for consistency & perfect colors! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An ideal watercolor starter set for beginners *by A***L on September 3, 2024* Several years ago, I decided to follow some tutorials from my high school art book and take watercolors more seriously.
