Contains 1 x Cotman Series 111 Watercolour brush 14 x half pans The materialsCotman uses the same colour index system as the Professional Watercolour range, so colours made to the same names are genuinely comparable in hue — making it easy to step up when ready. Pigments are carefully selected for good working properties and the gum arabic base gives a clean, workable consistency. Who it’s forStudents, beginners, and practising artists who work through a lot of paint and need reliable colour at a sensible price. Cotman is also a popular choice for watercolour sketching and travel work. How to use itUse on watercolour paper — even 190gsm will buckle, so a minimum of 300gsm is recommended for washes. The colours mix cleanly and re-wet reliably from the pan. Why we stock itCotman is consistently the watercolour we recommend to students. It performs well enough that many professionals keep a box alongside their Professional range for outdoor work.
