Cotman Watercolour Set

I knew them already, because I used them at the Art School. The Winsor and Newton produces excellent products of Fine Arts, and this little palette of watercolors in godet it confirmation. Before doing this review I tried them, and as I remembered them: very bright colors, so they are very pigmented while having excellent transparency in the dilution. The 12 colors selected, allow you to get all the other hues, and are so composed: 2 yellow cadmium, 2 red (including the red alizarin), 2 blue (very intense), 2 green, and then the necessary "lands", ie ocher, umber, and burnt sienna, and then the white (this color is of little use, but useful for special effects if you paint on black paper). In the box is a small brush, very thin, so only useful for graphics features, precision. I recommend using sheets of watercolor good brand, high weight (200 gr. Or better 300 gr.), Possibly 100% cotton, or alternatively 50% cotton and 50% cellulose. Brushes should have a tight fit of water (the brush in this painting technique serves as a water reservoir and color, then they serve round brushes, are also fine synthetic, but with a nice tip). I am very satisfied with the fact that you can find on Casa Cenina materials of Fine Arts. These watercolors are great! Test passed! Cinzia.
