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

great set of basic colors.... everything you need to get started mixing colors and some extras. Would have prefered grey instead of black and white is only a nice to have, but all of that said, this set is a great value.

great set! Definitely of good quality, especially for someone artistic that wants to learn how to use watercolor.

I love these paints. Theyre vibrant, easy to work with, blend well and are perfectly happy refilling my cotman travel pallet. Amazing for beginners and students, especially for the price.

bought this for when I travel. simple way to paint while I am visiting others.

Love the paints; wish they chose an additional green or a purple instead of white.

Best watercolors I have to date! The only colors I would get as extras are a really rich red and forest/yellowy-green. A little goes a LONG way, would highly recommend!

I was going off to Art School and didnt have a lot to spend. So of course I needed to find a Water Color set that was affordable, but had and could hold up to the the same quality as the expensive ones. I came across the Winsor & Newton Cotman Series. I have been a big fan of Winsor & Newton brand since they tend to stand for High Quality products and I have never been disappointed from any of their products I own. These colors are Awesome! They are affordable (the packs and when you buy them individually) and have the same High Quality Standards as their more expensive lines. They hold up great, some of the tubes Ive had for years and havent lost their color or texture. P.S This item is also listed as a childrens toy which I would serious disagree with. Theyre more for professional artist and people who been painting and know about mixing colors, etc... If your child is just learning how to use watercolors, learning about art, fine artist potential and I used these when I was in Middle School (which I got into my middles school for art, I went to a magnet school); I would recommend Crayola Artista II Semi-Moist Watercolors - Semi-Moist Watercolors (which I have written a review for).

This brand was recommended to me by a fellow artist and I have to say they don’t disappoint. The pallet has a nice lineup of colors and the price was pretty good for the number of tubes in the set.

Really great quality of paints. Would buy these again, vibrant colors, easy mixing.
