I bought this little watercolor set when I was going to go on a study abroad trip and a small watercolor set was a recommendation. I decided to buy this one because it had several trays that could expand the set, it had a little thumb holder so you didn't have to balance the set on your knee or anything, and it had 12 colors 6 felt like too many and anything with more than 12 colors felt enormous and I wouldn't want to pack it around.
This set did me well and I still use it at home for my watercolors.
The only reason I give it four stars and not five is that I've found that while the thumb loop (the blue, rubbery part of the case when you look at it from the outside) is handy and a great idea, it's only really useful if you hold your hand like you would if you were holding a glass palette (palm up, thumb across palm) while I really wanted to hold the set on my thumb while I gripped the side of my sketch book for stability. While it worked when I used the set this way, it did cause the palette to tilt a lot and it doesn't lay flat in that configuration so I ketp accidentally spilling the washed out of the mixing pans.
I also never used the expandable trays when I was working in the field. They ended up being somewhat cumbersome with the way I worked, but at home it's great to have the removable trays to work from.

My car was broken into and my field water color kit was stolen. I looked EVERYWHERE for a replacement and was reconciled to the fact that I'd never find another little Cotman when there it was on Amazon! Thanks!
