Looking for watercolor set

[Michelle]

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a watercolor paint set that would be good for taking backpacking.  I'm certainly not an artist.  But I'd like to have something with quality paints...not one of those kits you buy for your children at a discount store! 

 

I'd like it to have decent choice of paints.  It should close tightly.  And it would be great if it would have a built in water well and paint brush(s). 

 

I haven't had any luck in any of the stores around here.  Does anyone know of an art supply catalog or web site that I can go to? 

 

Thanks!

Michelle

I have a Winsor & Newton Cotman field box. Has water bottle, mixing areas, 12
colors, brush, etc. - 5 x 1.5 x 2.25" - very light. Not very cheap though - I
think about $45 now.
