I’d like to introduce you to the Windsor and Newton Cotman Sketcher’s Pocket Book.
It’s a little watercolor set.
This belongs to my husband and it’s something he picked up to accompany him on sketching trips. He’s by no means a committed watercolor artist–just one that enjoys the hobby, as are most of us.
My husband selected this for its compact size. He can easily tote around this set, a waterbrush and a Moleskine.
He really likes the little brush that’s included.
If you’re curious about Windsor & Newton, it’s my husband’s first choice. He certainly labored over his choice in this travel watercolor set and has been completely satisfied with it. Here’s a link to the Windsor & Newton website. This link will take you right to the page for this set.
I’m curious, do any of you dabble with watercolors? What are your preferences. The watercolors I use come in a tube and not in bricks, like this set.
What’s nice about this set is that you can purchase more paint bricks. My husband has plans to swap out a few colors in this set.
And for good measure, here’s a shot of some watercolor swatches in their pure form. These were made using the included brush.
I love being able to paint on the go, and I love that my husband does this. Do you ever paint when you’re out and about?
Hello! My name is Cole. Simplicity Embellished is my special place. I talk a lot about writing letters, etegami, gardening and yoga. Please sign up for Sunday Tea (comes to you via email), subscribe using your feed reader of choice and don't hesitate to say hello on Twitter or Facebook either.
I’d love to dabble more with watercolor paints (I have some but I just don’t pull them out). For a happy medium, I do – occasionally – use some Faber Castell Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils and then take a wet brush to them.
