The painting plus is the ultimate in versatility - it can accommodate both 8ml tubes and half pans, using the plus cartridge system which offers great pan security and versatility. This set contains: 24 assorted Cotman water colour half pans, 1 Cotman series 111 no. 3 brush. The Cotman water colour range has a more uniform consistency than the professional water colour range and this benefits beginners as there is less to learn about each individual pigment. The Cotman water colour range also relates to the Winsor newton professional water colour 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. 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 range offers a balanced spectrum of 40 colours which are available in half pans, 8ml tubes and 21ml tubes.
