Review on 🎨 Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Paint Set - 24 Half Pans, Set of 24: Review, Price, and Comparison by Amy Moore

I love, love the colors and finish, but the finish on this case is pretty terrible. First of all, once the paints are taken out of their packaging, they don't fit properly in the holder, so they flap around when you try to paint. Not to mention the paints just fall straight out of the pans, but I fixed that by putting a few drops of water under the paint in the pan, which basically works. There is room for two more trays / 8 more half trays but for some weird reason they don't provide the required trays, even if you order more half trays your only option is to just install them there. I can't even buy trays even though the clips are in the case. All in all, while I'm really crazy about the colors themselves, I'm going to hate this PITA case. Some say they fixed the loose halves by gluing, but what happens when it's time to change colors? I think you could just add color, but they really should have thought it through better. With a name and reputation like theirs, it's hard to believe they haven't given it to artists to try, and even harder to believe they have and haven't found so many practical problems. I wanted to love it, sorry I don't. On the plus side, as previously mentioned, the colors are nice and vibrant. The body feels pretty solid for all its flaws and the mixing drawers are fine. All in all, while I recommend the color, I cannot recommend this particular set due to my disappointment.
