FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Field Plus Set?

The main advantage is its all-in-one, highly portable design, making it ideal for artists who want to paint outdoors or while traveling.

How many colours are included?

The set includes 12 half pans of Cotman watercolour.

Can I replace the included colours?

Yes, the half pans are removable, allowing you to replace them with other Cotman half pans if desired.

What is the water container for?

The included 60ml water bottle is for rinsing your brush or adding water to your paints during the painting process.

Is the included brush suitable for detailed work?

The included brush is a functional travel brush, but for highly detailed work, you might consider using a finer brush from your personal collection.

What are the dimensions of the set when closed?

The set is designed to be compactly stored, fitting easily into bags or pockets, though specific dimensions are not provided. It's approximately the size of a small notebook.

Are the paints professional grade?

The paints are high-quality Cotman watercolours, formulated with fine art pigments, offering excellent transparency and consistency suitable for serious hobbyists and students.

Troubleshooting

Paints are not activating or mixing well.

Ensure you are using enough water to wet the pans sufficiently. Try using a slightly softer brush or more water.

Case does not close properly.

Check that the water bottle and brush are correctly positioned within their designated storage areas. Ensure no paint or water is trapped between the case halves.

Colours appear dull.

Ensure you are using artist-grade water or distilled water, as tap water can sometimes affect pigment behaviour. Experiment with layering colours to build intensity.

Travel brush bristles are splayed.

Rinse the brush thoroughly and reshape the bristles while damp. Allow it to dry completely before storing. Consider replacing the brush if damage is significant.
