I was surprised and delighted that the set included a beautiful #3 Cotman watercolor brush. Thin tip with no broken hairs, perfect train! Cotman uses lower cost pigments that mimic the colors of professional paints. This can make a difference when you feel you need the best on the market. I found the colors acceptable on many levels; Clean processing, shiny with depth nuances depending on the pigment concentration in the water. Opaque colors are indicated on the small chart included with the kit. I started a binary (two color) merge chart. It reminded me of a walk through an orchard in late summer or early fall, with leaves variegated in the sun in endless shades of red, orange and brown, withered green from dying grass and dark green patches of grass not yet affected by the cold were . I will continue the table, but as you know, the matrix grows to 300 people. I find 24 colors a good choice without having to mix them. You can see for yourself that none of the mixed shades are identical to the individual colors. A set of 12 or 14 colors gives 78 and 105 binary (2 color) mixed combinations. The beginner artist will be happy with this set and may be disappointed with a set with fewer colors. An advanced artist will likely prefer high quality paints that limit quantity, but will likely add specific colors or sets for their techniques. Some of the pigment fell out of the shells, this was normal and it is easy to match the pigment to the color given on the shell. I could buy more Winsor-Newtons, even Cotman to replace this set or add to my set. There is room for 8 more pans in the drawer!
