## Description

Product 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. Set Contains: 24 x Half Pans

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: Please list the colors included in the set.**
A: I just received my set, 2/24/22. Here are the colors I was given:  Lemon Yellow, Winsor Yellow, Transparent Yellow, Winsor Orange, Winsor Red, Permanent Crimson, Permanent Rose, Winsor Violet (Dioxazine), French Ultramarine, Winsor Blue (Green Shade), Olive Green, Permanent Sap Green, Winsor Green (Blue Shade), Cerulean Blue, Indanthrene Blue, Indigo, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber, Raw Umber, Yellow Ochre, Payne's Gray, Ivory Black, Chinese White.
Regarding the lists customers have given, I didn't get Cobalt, Prussian Blue, Viridian, Indian Red, Aureolin, Indian Yellow, but I did get Transparent Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Winsor Green (Blue Shade), Olive Green, Permanent sap Green, Indanthrene Blue.
Transparent Yellow looks very similar to Raw Sienna. Permanent Rose looks almost the same as Permanent Alizarin Crimson.  I really wanted Hooker's Green!!

**Q: How do you secure the watercolor pans inside of the case so they don't slide around?**
A: If you remove the pans, then push the little metal bracket inward, it should require you to kind of snap the pan back into place. It should offer enough resistance to keep the pan from sliding around. Worse case scenario you could always use a little double sided tape underneath the pans, but just bending the brackets should do the trick.

**Q: What does " Actual contents may vary" mean? Is the description of the contents not accurate such as the paint colors?**
A: I ordered my 24-color set on 2/11/2020 and I received all the colors as described in the photo except for Viridian--I got Winsor Green instead.

**Q: Is this a knock-off? it looks different on d. blick; the pan wrappings, the $42.88 price difference, etc. is it actually good quality?**
A: I've seen different pan´s wrappers W & N in this box. I can not expand my opinion because I have not used my last purchase. The plastic basket should describe the color code W & N

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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
