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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm not a Picasso and that's okay!

Listen up if you like watercolor because month 3 of lockdown has turned month 9 and you need a hobby that doesn't involve a screen, zoom call or get out command (hello, wildfires many?) , this set is AMAZING. I had no trouble at all with that whole "color moving" thing that other people mention. Maybe I'm not painting aggressively enough, because they do crumble in the pans, but not so much that they disappear entirely. Also, I usually carry it in my backpack instead of throwing it around the house, so I may have missed this art. The colors are easy to work with and blend and look great on my watercolor paper (which I assure you was NOT expensive). so that's great too. ADVANTAGES: Convenient carrying case, consistent brush quality, colors are easy to apply. Mix and evolve well, I've been using it for 6+ months now and not a single bowl runs out, and the dual mixing bowls are great for "recycling" pre-mixed paint. CONS: I wish it had 2 white bowls. Difficult to open the first time? Seriously, there are no real downsides.

Pros
  • Easy install
