Watercolour in a tube.
This particular type of good quality paint 🎨, burnt umber colour, is excellent for underpainting. For serious painting, either professional or with ambition to be a professional, the best quality is recommended; you get what you pay for.

Cotman Watercolour Tubes
As a beginner, the Cotman student grade colours were recommended by my instructor. I enjoy using them...but I like Daniel Smith a liitle more; they feel smoother to spread around.

Cobalt Blue
I have always been very happy with the Windsor Newton products. True to colour and easily mixed. Cobalt Blue, specifically, is now available as an (AP) Approved Product rating, meaning that there isn’t any heavy metals in this paint.

Cotman watercolours
If you want to paint - and actually use your paint - this is an affordable product. Less expensive than expert quality - Ron Ranson recommended these paints to paint freely without concern for costs.

Cotman watercolour tubes
I have been using Cotman watercolours for about 10 years now as their price line fits my budget. I have used a few other brands occasionally and I really don't find a big difference in the quality of colour, though I do not consider myself an expert. I like the results I get and they have a good colour selection.
