Every time I watch one of these I think "man, he makes that look so easy"

Use a magic eraser sponge on your new palettes for a few minutes to fix the weird paint beading on your mixing wells.

Great video, it's really helpful! By the way the viridian hue pigment is a phthalo green pigment! PG7 is phthalo green blue shade and PG36 is phthalo green yellow shade, so they're just different variants : )

Thanks! I agree, I would prefer it if they just called it phthalo green yellow shade. The pigment codes are really helpful when brands have different names for the same pigment.

I’ve got that set and I love it. X

It's the perfect size, I like to use it with one of those pocket sized sketchbooks so I can sketch anywhere I go.

Well done, thanks!

Great video. Thanks for the detail. As a brand new student of this process it was most helpful.

I found out that this brand in general is amazing for true to dry results. They really dont fade but lifting is hard and they dont bleed/ spread out. They stay put where you lie it on the paper so these are great for details. If you want that loose look maybe a daniel smith which i have seen to me dry lighter but they just bloom across wet paper and blends well into others. So i think its depends on the type of style or effect that you want. This was my first little kit and got it a 50% coupon at the craft store. Its very convenient if you sketch then color in this is perfect. I think the ideal is pocket size to your sketch pad would also be pocket size hence the little brush. These pans i notice dont have that plastic look when they dry if yoh applied heavy. I noticed tubed paints that look like dull plasticky to me that i dont like.

Cotman is probably the only student grade watercolor paint that I would use. Thanks for sharing your results!

Thanks! I have this palette, I’m on my second one. The tips were really helpful as was your swatching. That intense blue makes more sense now.

I have at least two of them. It's worth the money just for the tiny palette. 🙂

I really enjoyed your video, it was informative, to the point and fun to watch! Thanks!

Thanks! Was it the unboxing that you liked or the painting demo?

Really useful video for a complete beginner such as myself. I just bought this box and wondered if I’d made a mistake but after watching your viseo I feel much more confident. Thank you.

Thanks, I'm glad it helped! The Cotman series is a good beginner kit and it's definitely better than the generic watercolors you might find at a craft store. I also really like how portable it is.

Great video! Informative and accessible. I’m also a fan of WN Cotman on-the-go. They mix well and are easy to work with. The sap green can be bit unnatural looking but easily remedied with a tiny bit of cool red or warm blue. I usually remove the white straight away and replace it with mauve or something closer to quin rose 😊

Thanks! I love how small the palette is….you can take it anywhere. Yeah, I figure that pan of white should last me at least a decade. 😂 Even when I do use white, I prefer to use a tube of white because it covers better.

Thanks!! I found this very helpful, because I am planning to buy a WN cotman set, I'm just not sure which one, but I think this is the one!

You're welcome! They also make the cotman set in tube form. I like the pans for convenience when I want to sketch outdoors.

Love these suggestions. What type of bag or purse do you pack these in?

I usually carry it in a zipper pouch which you can find at any art supply store or craft store. 🙂

By "tablet" do you mean the size of the paper?
