I started TPK with a bottle of India ink, a dip pen, a paintbrush, and a set of 24 Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolors. I’m convinced that Cotman is the best beginner watercolor set out there! Here are some of the things I love about this set of 24 half pans:

The smooth, nicely pigmented colors make for enjoyable creation and easy watercolor calligraphy
These colors provide a cost-effective gateway into the wonderful world of watercolors
So many colors means that you won’t have to do a whole lot of custom blending, which will save time

Description

Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolors are student grade, which means that some of the pigments used to make certain colors are synthetic substitutes. These substitutions are made to keep costs low, as genuine pigment costs can be incredibly expensive. But, for a fraction of the price, these are fabulous to start off with because of their vibrancy and smoothness. Winsor & Newton Cotman is what got me hooked on watercolors! While I like to use artist grade watercolors, I still have a special place in my heart for the Cotman palette. You’ll see that I use these colors for many watercolor projects here on TPK!
