Right now, it's difficult to mix a warm orange because the only red included is a "cool" red. They could have added a warm red to the palette. And if you want lighter colours, you don't have to add white, you just add more water. Lamp Black and Chinese White are not that useful. The colour selection is alright but could be better though. The good thing is after you use up the paint, you can get your own tube paints, higher quality ones, to refill. To achieve more intense colours with Cotman, you have to use more paint and this means you would use up the paints quite fast. The colours still appear quite nice and are suitable and good enough for beginners. When I created the colour swatches, I could definitely see and feel that there's more filler than actual paint. Since Cotman is student grade paint, they are not as vibrant and intense compared to artist grade quality. The cover lid is not sealed just like the other boxes so it's important to always dry the box before keeping it in the bag. The new box is slightly larger and thicker but is still very compact. Here's how the new box compares with the ubiquitous 12 half pan metal box and the Sketchers' Pocket Box. The largest brush I was able to fit is the Escoda Size 10. I'm happy that the brush holder in the box can fit many of the pocket brushes that I use. I don't really use waterbrushes nowadays as I prefer normal brushes. Those larger strokes are about two times larger than the waterbrush strokes. On the right are strokes from the largest pocket brush I can fit into the box. On the left are strokes from the waterbrush. Or you can put the brush together and fit it in the brush holding section, but the waterbrush is likely to leak. You can reverse the bristle and store it inside the body. It looks like the pan may get stuck tight. One concern is in the future, should you need to replace the pan, it may be difficult to get them out. With the new waterbrush box, those empty pans can now fit nicely in the pan holder. Those empty half pans can fit inside the Sketchers' Pocket Box but they will protrude out slightly. Winsor & Newton plastic half pans are slightly smaller than empty half pans found online. After several painting sessions, after the paint get into the gaps, that should stop the pans from falling out anymore. Even the hardened paint may fall out of the pans. When the pans are new, they will fall out of the pan holder. The mixing wells in the new box are also large enough for mixing a good amount of paint, and the mixture do not bead up on the surface. When I need to mix a new mixture and there's no space, I have to clean up the used mixing well. In the Sketchers' Pocket Box, there are only three wells and whenever I use that, I always felt constrained. This allows you to create more mixtures and separate them easily without contaminating other mixtures. What I like about this box is there are six mixing wells.
