Winsor & Newton Heritage Cotman Watercolour Brush Wooden Box Set

Cotman Watercolour Brush Box

Winsor & Newton Heritage wooden box set of 5

Synthetic watercolour brushes made for Cotman watercolour.

Five Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolour brushes, chosen to work together, in a wooden box that makes them feel like the treasure they are. Rounds for washes and detail, a one stroke for flat colour, an angle for petals and edges, and a designers brush for fine lines. Everything a watercolour painter reaches for, in one beautiful gift.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip

Load your round from the belly, not the tip. Dip it in, roll it against the edge of the palette and you will carry more colour with a point that stays sharp to the end of the stroke.

Cotman brushes are made from synthetic fibres that hold a fine point, spring back after every stroke and carry a generous load of watercolour. They are the brushes we recommend to anyone moving from a starter set to something they can grow with.

The set covers the shapes you use most. Rounds lay washes and pull fine detail, the one stroke gives you clean flat colour and straight edges, the angle shapes petals and leaves, and the designers brush is perfect for lettering and delicate lines.

Winsor & Newton: Brushes Artists Have Trusted Since 1832

Winsor & Newton was founded in London in 1832 by a chemist, William Winsor, and a painter, Henry Newton. That mix of science and art still shapes everything they make, and it is why their names are on the paints and brushes in so many studios, classrooms and plein air kits around the world.

Each Heritage box pairs a set of brushes with the matching Winsor & Newton paint range, so the brushes are made for the way that paint behaves. Stiff bristle to push thick oil, springy synthetic to carry watercolour, tough synthetic that stands up to acrylic. Good brushes, chosen properly, packed in a wooden box worth keeping.

Getting the Most Out of Your Cotman Brushes

Use the larger round for washes and wet in wet, then switch to the smaller round and the designers brush once the paper is dry for crisp detail.

Rinse in cool water and a little mild soap, reshape the tip and dry flat. Never leave a watercolour brush standing in the water jar.

Questions About the Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolour Brush Box

What is in the Winsor & Newton Cotman Brush Box?

Five Cotman synthetic watercolour brushes: two Series 111 rounds, a Series 666 one stroke, a Series 667 angle and a Series 222 designers brush, in a Winsor & Newton wooden brush box.

Which brush box should I choose?

Match it to the paint. Winton for oil painters, Cotman for watercolour, Galeria for acrylic. The Dynasty Water Lily box is a soft watercolour and ink set, and the Dynasty Black Gold box is the all rounder for oil, acrylic and watercolour.

Are synthetic brushes as good as natural hair?

Modern synthetics are excellent, and for acrylic they are better, because acrylic is tough on natural hair. For watercolour, good synthetics hold a point and carry plenty of colour, and they are cruelty free and more durable.

How do I clean and care for artist brushes?

Wipe off excess paint, then rinse. Use cool water for watercolour and acrylic, and a solvent or brush cleaner first for oil. Wash gently with mild soap in the palm of your hand until the water runs clear, reshape the tip and dry the brush flat or tip down. Never leave a brush standing in water, it bends the hairs and loosens the ferrule.

Is a brush box a good gift for an artist?

It is one of the safest gifts you can buy a painter. Everyone needs good brushes, they wear out, and most artists never treat themselves to a nice set. Choose by medium: oil, watercolour or acrylic. If you are not sure what they paint, the Dynasty Black Gold set works across all three.
