Hi All,

I recently started my watercolor journey. I am using Winsor and Newton Cotman paints with Artegria brushes and Arches A5 size paper pad. I was doing some exercises for putting in a basic wash but I cant seem to get enough pigment on my wash and overall cant lift enough paint out of the pans even after activating the paints with water. Now I am beginning to wonder if its a paint problem and if I need to upgrade to professional grade paints. Appreciate any help / pointers. Thanks!
