## 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. Cotman watercolour compact box is pocket sized lightweight box is ideal for the outdoor artist. The set offers a number of mixing surfaces, a slide out palette and a mediums dish. It contains: 14 half pans of Cotman water colour, 1 Cotman series 111 water colour brush. 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: I am having trouble getting the pans to stay stable... Probably doing something stupid.. Please help.**
A: Yes, this is a problem, and I assumed I was the only one experiencing this until I read the reviews here.  I plan on buying museum putty to provide a firm but temporary hold.  My half pans (and I am referring to the actual plastic "holder," not the block of paint) are both loose and rock back and forth.  Not sure what the problem is.  Wearing down the paint may help a bit when it comes to the brush actually lifting the block of paint out, but nothing short of some sort of external adhesive will fix the looseness/unevenness of the half pans.  (I may be misusing the terminology - I always think of pan/half-pan as referring to the plastic housing around the paint, not just the solid block of paint within the housing.)

**Q: what size is the brush?**
A: The brush is approximately a #6 and 4.5" long. I am getting one of the store-in-the-handle ones because I personally prefer a longer handle. The one it comes with is of good quality. So if you are comfortable with a short brush you will be fine.  Best of luck.

**Q: what are the colors**
A: Colors are: Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Red Pale Hue, Cadmium Red Hue, Alizarin Crimson Hue, Purple Lake, Ultramarine, Cerulean Blue Hue, Viridian Hue, Sap Green, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Chinese White

**Q: does the paint fall out of pans?**
A: Yes and No. If they are brand new, it can. But once you start using them, the melted paint will fill the gap between the paint and the pan and they will dry out to stick to the pan. Hope this helps!
