Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolour
Cotman Watercolours are a range of watercolours that are made to our normal high quality standards but costs are kept to an economical level by replacing some pigments with other alternatives. The range consists of 40 colours which possess good transparency, excellent tinting strength and good working properties.
PigmentsCosts are kept to an economical level by replacing some pigments with other 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 RangeThe Cotman Watercolour range has a more uniform consistency than the Professional Watercolour range and this benefits beginners as there is less to learn about each individual pigment. The Cotman Watercolour range also relates to the Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour range, e.g. Burnt Sienna in both ranges has the same hue. This enables artists to use colours from both ranges with minimal adjustment to their technique. | White in the RangeTraditionally the white of the paper provides the brilliance to watercolour and can be used as highlights. However, some artists utilize Chinese White for highlights at the end of their painting or in dulling some colour mixtures down. |
| Expand Your Options: | Available in 8ml & 21ml sizes | By adding the appropriate medium, you can further expand your options by increasing granulation or texture, improve blending & lifting, create iridescence, reduce drying time, and so on. | The art of watercolour painting demands the finest quality paper – paper that works for you and with you. | Cotman brushes are a range of pure synthetic watercolour brushes of the highest quality that have been created using the same skills, generated over many years, as those used in making the finest sable brushes. |
