After 30 hours of research, digesting both forum discussions and Amazon verified purchases, along with our own personal testing, we found that the <\/strong>Schmincke brand of watercolors<\/strong><\/a> were the best watercolor paints for professional artists.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did the <\/strong>Schmincke watercolor paints<\/strong><\/a> have excellent lightfastness ratings, but their  high pigment concentration gave artists greater control over the layers in their painting \u2013 a critical aspect when watercoloring. <\/strong>In addition, Schmincke\u2019s 139 colors should suit just about anyone\u2019s color requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now when it came to reviewing watercolor paints for beginners (i.e. students) and intermediates, the Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolors<\/a> was the best buy.  This set by Winsor & Newton<\/a> not only rivaled many of the professional-grade paints on our list, but it was capable of producing vibrant colors at an affordable price.  We found the best alternative to the Cotman watercolors was the Van Gogh watercolors<\/a> by Royal Talens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
