Winsor & Newton Cotman Water Colours Field Box Set of 12 Half Pans, Multicolor

Vibrant, blendable colors in a portable pack. Great for beginners and pros alike, offering excellent quality for the price. Perfect for vivid, lasting watercolor art. Love it

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 Amazon, 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 Amazon 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.

Good quality. Cotman colours also good in pigments. Value for money. 2 cons : Travel brush is very small size (size number one). It could have been bigger size around 3 or 4 The water holder locating position is higher than palette it's not easy to use. It could have been in line with palette when working. Otherwise I love this set.

Absolutely delighted with this field box from Winsor and Newton. Good quality, well designed, sturdy plastic and carefully thought out for the needs of the plein air painter. Highly recommended and I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

Beautiful little set. Have been using this high quality brand for years and I love the development of this set with its movable trays and water bottle. Love the compact size and portability. Pigment is gorgeous. Would make a wonderful gift.

Very good product

I love this little travel set. I have an old vintage set from years ago that doesn't have the extra pot and mixing pallets this one has so I always had to carry extra pots. This one so much better as it's got it all in one and folds up neatly and compact so great for space saving The paint is the usual good student quality from winsor newton and contains the main colours selection used. They give a good background wash with easy to apply to good quality paper. They adhere well and are Perfect for students and beginners. I Also use their professional grade paints as well This particular set was very good value
