This is a great pallet of watercolours, so pigmented and easy to use. This painting is just a really quick example of how they worked for me. I just paint as a hobby these days and these are as professional a pallet as I need them to be. Yes the case is plastic and yes it can be difficult to open but with patience it opens fine. I love these paints and happily recommend them to beginners and professionals alike. Review: Really nice quality paint set :) - After seeing an artist at the Northamptonshire September 2025 'NROS' festival using these paints I took interest in them. They looked amazing on paper with good colour strength and held well on a brush also the fact the tin folded out from its compact carry size is ideal for taking them out with you. So thought I'll have a look online and they are being sold still for 50 - 60 pounds online and in uk art supply shops so was put off a little. Then i saw them at the crazy price of £24 in the desertcart sales thats over 60 percent off i couldn't not get them at that price. They come in a lovely compact tin with the logo on and have the slots the half pans are in that can fold open to accommodate replacement pans ( I assume any brand half watercolour standard pan will fit . ) Also a clever slot down the middle that will take a pencil and or a brush ! I know from owning previous Winsor & Newton art materials they are a good brand . At the stage of my art ability the Cotman range is more than sufficient aimed at students & a intermediate skill group they're not a beginners set which gives confidence :) ## Features - Contains 2-methyl-1,2-benzothiazol-3(2H)-one (MBIT).
