Winsor & Newton versus Dr. Ph. Martin's Radiant Water Color Paints

Last year I purchased a very pricey set of Dr. Ph. Martin's Radiant water colors.  My art teacher friend had a set and I loved working with them. 


Having just bought a travel set of Winsor & Newton, I decided to do a comparison by making a color chart for each set.


I was pleasantly surprised that the Martin's were so vibrant. 

Both are an excellent purchase, but if you just need something small and easy to transport, the Winsor & Newton set is probably the way to go, especially because it's a lot less expensive. 

However, there are only a few colors in the travel set.  If you do a lot of painting, the Dr. Ph. Martin's might be a good way to go, especially if you can order online and use a coupon, like I did.  You can also purchase them individually from Amazon.
