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: PB15, PG7, PY139 - Yellow Ochre: PY42 - Burnt Sienna: PR101 - Burnt Umber: PBr7, PY42 - Chinese White: PW5
Review: Love this Cotman Set! - Wonderful set of paints! I bought them last minute for a class, realizing my watercolors in tubes were left behind in another state - ugh! Our local art supply store was out of stock & the closest one in stock was 2 hrs away roundtrip. They were delivered promptly overnight - I was so relieved! This set had all but 2 colors on my supply list, so it was a huge savings from buying individual tubes. Other students were asking me what kind of paints I was using. Colors are vibrant and they mix & move beautifully throughout a full range of techniques. Loved working with them! I’m still learning & this is just the first layer in a simple Canson cold pressed watercolor practice book, but I think I’m hooked!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the paint pans artist grade?**
A: i believe the cotman brand implies the paint is more of a student/hobbyist paint.  i think this product ( http://www.amazon.com/Winsor-amp-Newton-Artists-Compact/dp/B000N85WVQ/ref=pd_sbs_hg_7 ) has the paint you are looking for, though i prefer the carrying case that you asked about here, that holds the cotman paints.  i mix the artist grade paint and the cotman paint all the time and really get good results from both, if that matters to you.

**Q: Is there a paint pan replacement set of these colors? All the ones i see by them are more expensive that this whole kit**
A: You can buy individual pans. The Cotman or Winsor Newton Professional will fit. Other half pans can be a bit snug but I have squeezed some other brands in there. Or save the pans that are in there and refill them with tube paint as you use them up. It won't be too expensive that way and you can upgrade to professional colors. Happy painting!

**Q: Will the W&N professional pans fit as replacements for the Cotman?**
A: yes, they will! I swapped out the pans in this too LOL:) Some other brands are a tight fit but will work as long as they are only on one side as the middle row has some give.

**Q: Can you recommend a bigger brush that still fits inside this case? I want this as a gift, but hear the brush is too small...**
A: The brush is skimpy compared to the one they show in the photo, it’s not a full size at all. None of my travel brushes fit inside this kit and they are either Escoda, or Isabey, and 1 is a Raphael Le Voyageur, all are just too long. You could take a regular brush and cut down the handle to fit, and put a plastic tube over the bristles for protection. Reconnect the handle parts with plastic tubing if you want a longer brush again. It still would make a great gift even if the included brush isn't to your liking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this Cotman Set!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great and extremely complete watercolor kit
*by G***N on October 4, 2025*

This is a great set of watercolors, and I love the built in palettes for mixing and diluting. The range of colors has even more than I need, the colors look great, and it was a great upgrade for me as I use a travel cotman palette for portable use, but wanted a larger set with more colors for home use. This is still quite portable and I take it to different rooms and outside very often, but it is definitely not a pocket sized kit. That said, I think it will last me a loooong time and I like that I can replace any pans that I use up so that I won't have to replace an entire kit (this is true of all the cotman sets I've tried). I've attached a few paintings I've made with these watercolors. I do usually use Sakura Pigma pens with them just due to my style My favorite thing is that the inner palette is EASILY removable for cleaning. I've had others where it's almost impossible to snap off the palette. This one you just hold it at the right angle and it lifts right out.
