Review on 🎨 Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Studio Set: 45 Half Pans for Creative Excellence by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Nothing to write or draw. - Try the Sch Colors or Arteza palette and save money!

This is the most expensive (sold for 65, normally 95) base set I have ever bought. The colors are bland and there's nothing special or worth $95 ($65). 1) There is no sample card that my third graders use, there are sample cards to fill in. 2) Panels will NOT stay secure like Arteza or paint palette kit. . This set is not intended for mobile use or even for transport. 3) 3+ hours for shape and color to dry, never experienced that long. Usually minutes. 4) Unsafe packaging for the soil, all pots were wrapped in unnecessary plastic. 5) They give you extras and include them in the TOTAL and don't claim to give extras so take your time and read the pots. , just in case you expand and start with a palette sample card, which you should as it doesn't have one. 6) No sponge or spare brush, doesn't matter as I have plenty of these, but for the price you would think you would get some as you don't get quality. 7) The pallet case is a disaster and very uncomfortable to hold, not even thumb rings or attachments to make it more comfortable to hold. Overall not a bit impressed. I'm getting a refund but not sure I'll be successful since it's being used. But also. I can't say I didn't like it that much until I used it. crossed fingers
