Watercolour paint sets in half pans, full pans and tubes, for painting at home, in class or out on location. Several of our sets come in a metal tin whose lid doubles as a mixing palette, with a brush included.
If you're starting out, a 12 or 14 colour set gives you enough to mix almost any shade. There are also high pigment sets for stronger colour, metallic shimmer sets, and powdered crystal and dye-based colours for intense, ink-like washes.
Pans are dry cakes of paint you wake up with a wet brush. They're compact, quick to set up and waste very little, which is why most travel sets use them. Full pans hold about twice as much as half pans and take a bigger brush. Tubes hold soft paint you squeeze onto a palette, which makes it easier to mix a lot of one colour for big washes.
More pigment in each pan, so colours come out stronger and a pan goes further. The paint is thicker, so it takes a little more water and brushwork to lift the colour at first.
Yes. Our packs of 12 spare white half pans drop straight into Artway tins and most standard half pan palettes, so you can top up the colour you use for highlights and tints.
Heavy watercolour paper, which holds water without buckling. Cartridge paper will cockle under a wash, though it's fine for quick sketches with very little water.
