Just when you thought innovation was something in the past Winsor and Newton creates a most exciting sketching box for artists at all skill levels.  It includes 12 Cotman watercolor pans which are great for sketching, three functional mixing surfaces, a quality Cotman round brush, a water bottle, two clip on water wells and an integral soft thumb ring.  Better yet is the low, low price.  The best item we've seen in 2005!
