There are 20 tubes. Not sure where the number 12 came from. **Q: Do you know if they are "Artist" grade or student grade?** A: The Cotman line from Winsor/Newton is student grade. Professional grade watercolors do not use the word "Hue" in their color description, which indicates they're not made from true pigments. **Q: Good morning, I would like you to send the order again, with a new package, as soon as possible, instead of the refund. thank you.** A: I dont think I can help with this lol **Q: Does a pallet tray come with this set?** A: Yes removable as well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Travel Watercolour Set *by C***S on 11 June 2026* I bought this set for travelling and urban sketching, and it's been excellent.

They work really well and has a good pigment and selection of colours and the consistency is really nice so it WOULD give a professional look to it if only i got more stuff for it lol ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fun and versatile, great field set or beginner set. *by C***P on 12 May 2025* A nice selection of intense pigments that support many tones of transparent colour simply by varying the amount of water used. The colours blend to almost infinite hues and even as a beginner they don't look muddy when mixed unless I am incredibly inept or actually choose to mix a deliberately muddy shade. This set includes a decent quality fine brush, well suited to detail and line work, and can be used wet on dry for pinpoint accuracy or wet on wet for dreamy blooms, delicate wahes and artistic effects. This is the first time i've played with watercolours since i was a child, and is so much more fun than I remembered. It is surprising that such tiny pans yield so much colour and cover so much 300gsm paper - whilst barely denting their content! This tiny pallette is the perfect size to put in a pocket and sketch in the field. ## Frequently Bought Together - Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Paint Set, 20 Colors, 5ml (0.17-oz) Tubes - Mr. Pen Airtight 18-Well Watercolor Palette with 2 Mixing Areas and Lid - Folding Paint Tray - Canson XL Series Watercolor Pad, Heavyweight White Paper, Foldover Binding, 30 Sheets, 9x12 inch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/259403711-winsor-and-newton-cotman-water-colour-starter-kit](https://www.desertcart.us/products/259403711-winsor-and-newton-cotman-water-colour-starter-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
