Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour Urban Sketching Set 6x5ml

Winsor & Newton Urban Sketching Watercolour Set is a curated six-colour palette built specifically for working outdoors, on location, and at speed.

Each 5ml tube offers the same professional-grade pigment quality as the rest of the range, chosen here around a core of highly pigmented primaries – Lemon Yellow Deep, Winsor Red, and Ultramarine – alongside Cobalt Turquoise Light, Viridian Hue, and the granulating, earthy Sepia.

The inclusion of granulating secondary colours and Sepia gives the palette real texture and depth, particularly useful for capturing the varied greys and warm tones found in architecture, streetscapes, and urban studies.

Because the set is built around core primaries plus a small number of specialist tones, it mixes efficiently for a huge range of subjects while staying compact enough for a sketching kit.

Who is this for? Artists who paint on location – urban sketchers, plein air painters, travel journallers, and students building a compact, well-rounded palette that doesn't compromise on pigment quality. Equally useful as a lightweight addition to a studio collection for anyone who sketches away from the easel.

Also drawn to bold, energetic colour? Our Vibrant Watercolour Set makes a strong companion. For subtler, studio-based work, see the Mindful Watercolour Set.
