I bought a set of these 30 years ago and the colours do not fade. I used them in holland. They are a bit limited in colour choice but still good enough. Great video and art work.
Oh wow! I was told Cotmen paints fade after a bit. So that’s awesome to know. I got some professional tubes, so if I do want a pan set, I may consider getting the cotmen pan set to save money.
This is one of my favorite travel palettes from Winsor/Newton, which is pretty inexpensive, too. Since each color/paint cake is wrapped individually, I simply filled each pan with my tubes of professional grade paint. Remember to use the pans that come with this palette, b/c other, empty 1/2 pans typically won't fit into the slots. I think I own 4-5 assorted Winsor & Newton palettes, because they do offer palettes to suit most needs. Thank you for showing this nice watercolor palette, it's a great choice, imo!
Oh wow, what a great idea! I just took my 2nd Michael's class with Shaeleen and I have to squeeze out my professional paints on a palette beforehand, kind of guessing how much we'll use. I have made tons of pan sets, I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thank You!
Wow! I just ordered these watercolor paints, they will be my 2nd watercolor palette ever, and I decided to watch some more reviews on these. I love how you talk about the different colors, it was very relaxing. I learned a lot more about these Watercolors. New Sub
Tested this set yesterday, can't believe how vibrant and intense they are, I absolutely love those watercolors. Would also love to see a tutorial for those flowers you show here.
Thank you for this review! I received this set for Christmas and I wanted to watch them in action. Love your color mixes and the way you paint leaves is very intriguing! Simple but very elegant, I’ll have to try that technique! Thank you!!
I am just starting out in watercolor and this is the set I bought. I figure if I decide that I don't like to watercolor (not sure how that could happen) then I'm not too far out of pocket. Your voice is very soothing and your artwork is gorgeous. You've earned a new sub.
I loved your video, you sure bring inspiration, I'm not naturally English, so for me it's a little difficult to understand the language sometimes, but your voice is calm and easy to understand, I loved it 💖🦄
I have these paints in a similar WN travel set. It was my first set. I dug it out tonight and gave it a good play. Thank you for posting this video I would love it if you would do color mixing with the rest of the colors in the set. I learned a lot on just this one.
I love Cotman watercolors. I use them more than my professional Artists watercolors. I use them a lot for field sketches and my fashion drawings. I use the white mostly for mixing skin tones. But I have use the white mixed with other colors. Sometimes I use it as white. But not as often. They have a good lightfast quality. Even though they are student grade. I would say more like amateur artist paints. I know it’s not really a category but they are too good to be student, and the price is right.
Hi! In my pallete the blues were Ultramarine and Intense, not Phthalo Blue, but Im from Argentina, dont know if they change it depending where you buy it.
I've got the same set, but instead of the Pthalo Blue, there's something called Intense Blue. Not sure if there's any difference, as I haven't any Pthalo Blue to compare.
I love your review Shealeen, What cotman brush are you using ? A size 6 Cotman ? and the clear tray you mix on, is that a glass tray of some kind or a craft mat you can buy ? Thanks x
I just bought the 24 full pans set, and I have a big problem with it, everytime I draw, there are like VERY hard edges all around, does anyone know how I could stop that?
Yes! I would use a damp brush and gently smooth those hard edges out! Sometimes that’s a look watercolorists like, I generally try to avoid it! Using less water as you paint will help you avoid those hard edges. :)
I want to see you draw with this. And I want to see the difference between w&n professional.I am not good at English so I don't know if I expressed it correctly.

Thanks for sharing! That's too cool. :)
I have a set that is pushing forty. Paint is still fine.

I have this same set and love it, very compact and the colors are great. New to watercolor painting.
Thanks for sharing..... enjoyed watching the color mixing .❤
You just made it clear that a great artist can work with a limited palette and still produce something beautiful! :D
Heyyy thank you! :)

Oh I'm painting with this right now! Lol. I just got this for Christmas as a gift and been practicing watercolor with this.

Same-would love some help mixing colours with this particular set 😊
I just ordered this set. Looks pretty cool to start with.
Can you update how it went!
@@yumtaco7376 I like it a lot. I paint for fun so am just learning, but it is great.
Love what you’ve done with this palette!! And the best part is I have this one! Must pull it out and play with it again!
This was wonderful 👍 loved how you showed us different green mixes .
Thanks Dez! Glad you enjoyed. :)
Just the video i was looking for! Thank you!
Loved this!! I like how you’re trying out the pocket set :) can you show us the massive 45 W&N watercolour set you have sometime?
That would be SO fun. Might have to get my hands on one again.. I believe I gave mine away a few years back!
I love how you describe things.
Thanks Missy!!

What's funny is that Cadmium Yellow shows me that I would hate Gouache. lol It's opacity annoys me, but I still use it very sparingly.
Mix Viridian with opera and omg purple, ultramarine with burnt sienna also amazing results
I also enjoyed watching you mix the colors. I have a similar and I'm curious what type of paper were you using?
I’m using some cheap canson watercolor paper here! :)

Genial ❤❤❤ gracias
How did you do the really light pinks on the spread at the end of the video?
I love your review Shealeen, What cotman brush are you using ? A size 6 Cotman ? and the clear tray you mix on, is that a glass tray of some kind or a craft mat you can buy ? Thanks x
Wow !! for 12 minutes and 58 seconds, everything in the world was okay ...??!?!?
What colours did you mix for the pink and purple that you used to paint the flowers?
Thank you for the video, what book / sketch book are you painting on?
Thanks
Is the black paynes grey?
