Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor
Cotman Watercolors are a range of watercolors that are made to our normal high quality standards but costs are kept to an economical level by replacing some of the more costly pigments with less expensive alternatives. The range consists of 40 colors which possess good transparency, excellent tinting strength and good working properties.
Pigments
Costs are kept to an economical level by replacing some of the more costly pigments with less expensive alternatives. Pigments derive from a number of sources: Some are natural products, notably the earths, eg. umbers, ochres; others come from metal compounds and are sometimes termed 'traditional' or 'genuine', eg. ultramarine.
The distillation of petroleum yields an ever widening range of organic pigments which are often termed as 'modern'. Many of the pigments used in Cotman are organic.
Colour Range
The Cotman Watercolor range has a more uniform consistency than the Professional Watercolor range and this benefits beginners as there is less to learn about each individual pigment. The Cotman Watercolor range also relates to the Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor range, e.g. Burnt Sienna in both ranges has the same hue. This enables artists to use colors from both ranges with minimal adjustment to their technique.
White in the Range
Traditionally the white of the paper provides the brilliance to watercolor and can be used as highlights. However, some artists utilize Chinese White for highlights at the end of their painting or in dulling some color mixtures down.
This popular pocket-sized plastic box features an integral mixing palette in the lid and contains: 1 x pocket brush, 12 x Cotman water color half pans: lemon yellow, cadmium yellow, cadmium red pale hue, crimson Alizarin, ultramarine, intense blue, Emerald green, sap green, yellow ochre, burnt sienna, burnt Umber, China white.
