Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Paint Set, 12 Colors, 8ml (0.27-oz) Tubes

Its a nice palette of colors to work with and they mix well with each other. They are heavily pigmented and transparent. Although they are not professional grade, they seem to be very close. I am very pleased with blending and lifting of these colors. I dont know why anyone wouldnt be pleased with these watercolors. The flow characteristics works best with High quality paper. I recommend Arches...

looks good yet to try

I love these paints! <3 I do wish there were two different reds but either way they are still very nice paints, looks vibrant on paper and much better quality than I am used to.

Great color and texture to these water colors!

I try not to be a watercolor materials snob so I continue searching for affordable paints. I am used to using Daniel Smith ($$$) on finer pieces, but I enjoy using these for practice and less serious pieces. These colors are okay, I have produced some lovely colors by mixing and messing around with the colors provided. My biggest complaint is the amount of paint (a lot) you must use in order to produce anything that doesnt look very dull. I work with a large pallet and in order to get any color on my brush I really have to work the paint in the pallet before applying. I will continue to buy these because I am frugal and they get the job done well enough.

It was recommended by an artist who was teaching a watercolor class to purchase Winsor & Newton Cotman water colors. It is important to have good paints to get the effect you want. This set gave a nice choice of colors to start me off. It was a good price compared to Michaels.

Good color selection at a great price.

Perfect color choices for basic palette - except I wish it had Paynes Grey - but thats easy enough to supplement.

work beautifully

Excellent colors. New to watercolors and great starter set. Best price I found (on Amazon)
