There used to be some sketches in this article but the files were corrupted. And it's not metal so it will never rust. Mixing space while small is still ample, especially when compared to the WN Bijou box which also holds 12 pans. After using, with paint getting into the gaps beside, the pans will stick inside the housing and won't come out even if the box is upside down. Initially the pans would be loose in the housing. It's easy to open and close with the clipping. The lid has three partitions for mixing colours. However, it's opaque so you can use it in concentrated form to cover up mistakes or for special uses such as dotting the eyes. Remember than the Cotman colours aren't as intense so Chinese White is not going to be as useful. Chinese White when mixed is used to tint brighter colours, basically make a lighter version of the colour. The Chinese White included isn't quite useful here. It's quite a complete set in terms of colour selection. Then there are 5 convenient mixtures of two greens and three earth colours. There are the warm and cool version for yellow, red and blue which are the three primary colours. Other larger box sets adds more colours to this list. It has a good selection of commonly used colours. You'll want to get a separate pocket watercolour brush because the one provided is too small. The set comes with 12 half pans and a collapsible brush. It's even smaller than the Daler Rowney Aquafine Watercolor Pocket Set because the half pans are arranged vertically here. It's small enough to fit into a shirt pocket, and so light and easy to carry around. The Sketchers' Pocket Box is my favourite box set because it's the most compact watercolour box set available. It is important to make sure you know whether you're buying Cotman or Artist because both use the same box designs. Their Artist watercolours uses the same boxes but they also offer the heavyweight enamelled box sets. Additionally, Winsor & Newton also offers tube sets! And these are just for the Cotman series.
