Watercolor Paint Set KOH-I-NOOR 12 colors, 22.5 mm half-pans

KOH-I-NOOR Watercolor Paint Set with 12 colors in 22.5 mm half-pans provides a compact, ready-to-use palette intended for traditional watercolor techniques. The set includes twelve carefully selected basic pigments presented in half-pan format that is convenient for sketching, studies and travel painting. The formulation is suited for layering, washes and color mixing, making it appropriate for classroom exercises, hobby projects and outdoor work.

Advantages

The half-pan format reduces storage space and allows easy replacement or reactivation of individual pans. Twelve distinct hues cover a practical range of warm and cool tones for mixing and achieving transparent washes. The pans are sized for portability and fit into compact palettes, while the paint consistency is optimized for rewetting and brush control. The design supports both controlled detail work and broader wet-on-wet applications.

How to use

Activate the half-pan paint by adding a small amount of clean water with a brush and allow the pigment to soften before applying to paper. Adjust the amount of water on the brush to control transparency and flow for washes or concentrated strokes. Rinse and reshape water on the brush between colors to avoid unintended mixing, and allow layers to dry between applications when building glazes or luminosity.

Usage recommendations

Use mid-weight cold-press or hot-press watercolor paper for best results and test pigment behavior on a scrap sheet when mixing unfamiliar color combinations. Store the palette closed and keep pans dry after finishing to prolong paint life and simplify reactivation on next use.
