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

A little is enough. Easy to make your own colors.

They’re good student grade watercolors.

This is a great deal for quality beginner water colors. To buy these all individually, youd be spending nearly 2x as much. They are beginner for someone who is serious about water colors and wants to advance their skill. I highly recommend these to learn with. If you want to go professional, there are professional-grade tubes made by the same company worth spending the money on.

Good value.

i need more experience to write an informative review

it has really nice set of basic, vibrant colors. used to use koi watercolor set but it started to crack up, so i got this tube ones and so far so good!

Everything ok

When I first started with watercolors I wanted to see if I liked the medium and didnt want to spend a ton of money so I purchased a set of 24 Masters Touch Watercolor tubes for either $9.99 on sale. I created some nice little practice pieces with them so I decided to upgrade a little bit and went with the Windsor Newton Cotman set that everyone on a watercolor group I am in recommended. In all honesty I like the cheap set just as much if not more than the WNCs. The picture I am including is a quick color swatch done with both sets. The top row is the WNC and the bottom row is Masters Touch. As you can see, the colors are so close in color and vibrancy that its not worth the extra cost to me and I got a lot more colors with Masters Touch for a lot less $$. I paint only for myself for stress relief so I dont feel a need to invest a great deal of money to dabble. If I decide to get serious, I will save my money for some Daniel Smith tubes.

Decent for young beginner student quality, but not university quality... The pigments were weak and frustrating to get desired contrast and intensity. Winsor & Newton make some good watercolors but NOT in the Winton brand!

I was recommended by my teacher to purchase this product for my first art class.
