## Description

With 115 colours, our Professional Watercolour range offers bright, vibrant colours and unrivalled performance. Watercolour, more than any other medium, reflects the unique characteristics of the pigments used and our Professional Watercolours use only the finest pigments, and are known for their brilliance, permanence and strength of colour. Large range of single pigment colours With 85 single pigment colours in the range, we offer the widest range of modern and traditional pigments for clean colour mixing. Unrivalled Transparency The transparency of our Professional Watercolour is achieved by our unique process of pigment dispersion during manufacture. The natural characteristics of each pigment highlights the paint’s transparency level. In watercolour painting, thin washes are applied allowing the white of the paper to reflect through the wash. Permanence 112 out of 115 colours in our Professional Watercolour range are classed as ""permanent for artists' use”, rated AA or A for archival permanence to ensure that these colours used today will appear the same for generations to come.

Review: Great quality. Very pleased! - This is a great travel pallet! The colors are perfect for the landscape that I paint pleinair. The paints work well on 100% cotton, cellulose, and mixed media paper depending on your desired outcome/style. The pallet is well made easy to use and to pack into a small bag. I do take along other travel brushes but the tiny one it comes with is great for details and is the cutest little brush I own:) I was also able to fit 2 more color into the pallet using some extra pans I already had. It also helped the other pans not slide around. It was a happy discovery! Im very pleased. I will continue to enjoys this for a long time.
Review: Perfect self contained set - The packaging has been updated so it's not exactly as shown, but after double checking with Winsor and Newton, everything is in order and the package arrived in perfect condition! Note that the packaging it comes in is now silver and white instead of green and is labeled "Professional" watercolor instead of just "Artists' " watercolor. The pans do not have individual foil labels on them as shown, they arrive individually wrapped in clear plastic. Winsor and Newtons customer support confirmed that this is all correct. It's such a perfect watercolor set. The included waterbottle, with the amount I use, usually lasts me three paint sessions if I pour the cup out afterwards (Since then I've gotten better at cleaning with the sponge instead of swishing in the water and can reuse the water). The sponge is a great addition, you use it to both clean pigment from brushes and dab the paper to lighten areas and its better than a paper towel in size and cleans without issue. If its full of water, just squeeze it out into the grass or cup if you're indoors. The pigments are vivid and go a long way with just a little paint. They mix well. The brush is very tiny, so I'd recommend getting a Da Vinci 1523 Russian Red Sable Round size 5 portable brush or something to carry along with it. The included brush is maybe a 2, give or take. It works well but is best used in conjunction with a 5 or 6. I use a 5x8.25 moleskine watercolor album [EDIT: I don't like my moleskine as much as my plain Strathmore 400 series watercolor sketchbook. The paper is super thin in moleskine, good for light washes but not layers at all] and those two brushes work for just about everything, but I use more when I'm at my desk. If you're new and wondering whether you should spend twice the money of the Cottman colors, get what you can afford but lean towards these ones. I haven't compared them in depth, but the professional quality ones seem to be a better and the pans last a bit longer. Get yourself a good watercolor sketchbook too, and perhaps some sakura pigma micron pens and a gelly roll white pen and you can do anything. Don't be afraid to use up your supplies, you learn a lot from using them often. Overall this is a perfect set for doing watercolor on the go. I got them so I wouldn't have an excuse not to watercolor wherever I went. I do it in class, too. I'll attach pictures of all of the items. (sorry for bad lighting) Edit: Many years later! I still use this for everything! I buy the Professional Grade Watercolor tubes from the store and squeeze them into the tiny plastic squares and they dry perfectly. Watercolor is the absolute best and there is no need to be worried about a tube of paint breaking in travel. Watercolor pallets are dry until you want to use them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I love my winsor and newton cotman series of watercolors. what advantages would i see with the professional series?**
A: I believe the difference is the professional grade has a greater amount or quality of pigment, but personally, I do a lot of field sketches and I am very happy with the Cotman series and saving money by using them.

**Q: Can anyone tell me what paints are in this kit?**
A: You'll essentially find a cool and warm shade of yellow, red and blue, plus 2 shades of green and 3 earth colors.  To suit my style, I would replace the black with either a Payne's Gray or Neutral Tint and swap out the white with Buff Titanium.  Of course, it's all a matter of personal preference, but this palette is a good choice for anyone wishing to upgrade from a student, grade paint like the Cotman line from W/N.

**Q: When using this where do you put the water, except on the paints.......do most people carry a little water dish or ?**
A: The cover of the set is designed to be used as a water dish. It has a tab so it can hang onto the top of the set. I usually bring a 2oz Nalgene bottle of water and use that instead. I've tried using the cover and it works pretty well also.

**Q: Are the Artist's watercolors the same as Professional or the same as Cotman?**
A: I have been told that they are professional grade and not student quality Cotman. The biggest problem is that the paint squares do not stay in their place and tend to fall out .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous pigments, great color selection, outstanding set at a good price
*by C***N on September 13, 2022*

This is a set of 24 half pans of W/N professional (NOT Cotman) watercolors in a black tin, sometimes marketed as a travel set. The pigments are just about as good as they get-transparent, rich and easily activated. Few tins include ideal color selections beyond the basic warm and cool hues. This one is close to ideal and includes 7 neutrals, including both yellow ochre and raw Sienna, a sepia, and ivory. Highlights are Permanent Rose, Permanent Magenta, Winsor violet, Indanthrene blue and Hookers green. This set includes both traditional and contemporary colors such as phtalo blue and phtalo green. I added a few other pans of convenience colors in between the packaged rows. During the 18 months since I first bought this kit, I have tried many other brands of professional watercolors in both tubes and pans. I keep coming back to this palette because it is a great combination of mixing colors and convenience favorites, and the quality is really outstanding. The price is less than professional pan sets by other companies that I found to be less satisfactory than these, in terms of both performance and color range. Also-there is nothing wrong with the tin. When you buy any brand of these sets, one has to arrange and secure the half-pans by pinching together the sides of the metal brackets to hold them securely in place. I ordered a second set on Feb 8, 2023 and the order was cancelled by the seller after more than a month. Seller did not respond to inquiries sent through Amazon messages, but Amazon re-ordered for me. It was worth the wait-I'm very pleased with these paints and recommend them highly. Edit 8/2/2025: Saw this set at a local discount art supply store yesterday for $195
