Cheap LIDL Watercolors vs. Cotman Watercolors

Watercolor review! Cheap United Office kids' watercolor set from Lidl vs. student grade Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolors. I'm comparing these watercolor sets by painting a parrot using each of them on the same type of watercolor paper.

I don't remember what the cost of these paints was, but searching online, it seems the Lidl watercolors cost 3-4 euros. The Cotman watercolor pocket set with 12 half pans costs anything from 15-25 euros depending on where you look. The Home Hobby watercolor set with 12 tubes is 7 euros.

With the watercolors from Lidl, I painted a caique parrot. And the one I painted with the Cotman and Home Hobby watercolors is a cockatoo playing with makeup.
