Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolour Set

Winsor & Newton is one of the world's most iconic fine art brands, established in London in 1832 by chemist William Winsor and artist Henry Newton. The brand is renowned for introducing many innovations to the art world, including the first moist watercolors.

The Cotman range specifically represents the brand's high-quality student and hobbyist line. While the company maintains a strong British heritage, manufacturing is now distributed globally. Most paint production occurs in Le Mans, France, while accessories, brushes, and packaging are often manufactured in China.

Today, the brand is owned by Colart, a global art materials company headquartered in London. Colart itself is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lindéngruppen, a Swedish family-owned industrial group that focuses on long-term development of sustainable creative and industrial businesses.
