At Daniel Smith, that would run about $29 plus shipping unless you order during a free shipping week, or buy them at a local art store–they have started to distribute nationwide in local retail stores. Their top of the line art supplies are way overpriced, even with coupons, so beware…Īnother way to start out and learn a lot about color is just buy three artist grade tubes– Cadmium yellow pale, Ultramarine blue, and alizarin crimson. The most expensive place, as Capt Elaine has already been pointed out, is Michaels. Blick is generally cheaper than Cheap Joe’s on tubes, though. This artist’s grade watercolor pan set (by Talens Rembrandt) at Cheap Joe’s has artist grade Rembrandt colors several of us in my art group have are using it and it is the ideal set, IMHO:įor Cheap Joe’s (which is not always the cheapest-), this set is totally reasonable– 12 colors with travel case and sable brush for $42– it’s almost half the price Dick Blick charges ($73 for the same thing). The really toxic stuff is fumes from organic solvents used in oil painting. Sometimes paint right out of a tube can have off smells, from what ingredients, I do not know! Most of the time, not. Janinco, if you have chemical sensitivities, you might consider dry pans instead of tubes. No matter what you decide….just have FUN!

6 paints…3 warm, 3 cool of each primary and you can have a full color spectrum and produce amazing paintings. The top 3 (on the thumbnails) are all Reeve’s Student Grade and the bottom 3 are Winsor Newton Artist Grade.Īlso Remember, that you can make a HUGE array of colors using only the primary colors. You can view the few I’ve done on my website at. I was not like…oh my gosh, these are crap and need to be thrown out, only to keep the artist quality colors. I painted with both and perhaps it’s because I’m new to this medium….I was NOT blown away with such an amazing difference between my student grade paints and my artist grade paints. That said, I know there is a particular artist on this site who paints AMAZING works using specifically Reeve’s…then there are many producing OUTSTANDING works using Cotmans. If you plan of fiddling around with it, painting some pictures for your wall and maybe selling some stuff locally or on well known auction sites…then I’d venture to guess you’ll do just fine with student grade.

If you plan on going pro with this medium…then you’ll want to make the investment. I suppose that your end goal with painting is what may determine the quality of the paint you decide. I suppose the lightfastness of the Artist grade colors is better. I suppose it’s true and TINY bit DOES go an LONG way with the Artist quality paints. They say the Artist colors are more pure, less binding and other crud to dilute the purity of the paint.

I liked ’em, but I too wanted to see the real difference between the cheap student grade and the winsor newton artist colors. I am new to watercolors, and I started off with a set of Reeve’s 24 pack of tube colors. He did say he didn’t like the Cotman `Ultramarine Blue’.

I’m told by a very good professional artist I know personally that he uses several Cotman colours, as well as some from the top range, and mentioned Permanent Rose.

I would stick mainly to single pigment paints, 23 of 50 by my count but even so some of the others like `Alazarin crimson Hue’ have the same pigment mix as the Artists Permanent version. IF we in the UK had the same range as is available in the USA and Canada I would certainly give a try to those colours that are only available over there, these being the more expensive pigments, replaced in the UK range by cheaper ones. If you go to the Winsor & Newton website you’ll find a technical sheet on Cotman called `Composition and Permanence’ which is downloadable. Views differ but I say, although I personally use artists quality paints in various makes (I’m a sucker for the hype about them), that there are quite a few Cotman colours that are perfectly acceptable. This is a controversial subject Jan and a lot of hot air has been expended on it.
