FAQs
What does 'Hue' mean in the name?
Hue indicates that the paint is formulated to match the appearance of a traditional pigment using modern, more accessible alternatives.
Can I mix this with professional grade paints?
Yes, Cotman watercolours are fully compatible with Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolours and other major brands.
What does the lightfastness rating AA mean?
AA signifies that the paint has an 'extremely permanent' rating, meaning it is highly resistant to fading under normal display conditions.
Is this paint suitable for professional work?
Yes, while it has a reduced pigment load, the high quality of the pigments used makes it a reliable choice for professional studies and sketching.
How do I store the half-pan?
Keep it in a dedicated metal or plastic watercolour tin, allowing it to air dry after use to maintain the integrity of the paint.
Troubleshooting
Paint is hard to pick up with a brush
Apply a few drops of water to the surface of the pan and let it sit for a minute to soften the binder.
Colour appears streaky or patchy on paper
Ensure your paper is properly prepped and that you are using enough water to allow the paint to flow naturally across the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, simply moisten the dry half-pan with a drop of water using a clean brush to 'awaken' the pigment. It is compatible with all other watercolour ranges, allowing you to integrate it into existing sets. For optimal longevity, keep your half-pans clean by rinsing your brush thoroughly between colour changes to avoid cross-contamination. After each session, allow the pan to dry completely before storing your kit in a cool, dry place to prevent mould or residue buildup. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when stored, although the paint itself is lightfast.
