Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor Paint Set, 48 Colors, Professional-quality for artists and crafters, for kids, adult, Made in Japan

Kuretake Gansi Tambi watercolor palettes come in a variety of beautiful colors. The pans are quite large and hold a lot of paint. The palettes are held in cardboard boxes and are OK but I wish Kurtake would sell metal palette boxes that would fit the pans. I’d be fine buying them separately. The paint is different than standard professional watercolors but it is very good quality. It is highly granulating and when applied to wet paper moves beautifully and is fun to use. The paint dries nicely too and maintains its color. I’m glad that I added Kurtake to my collection of watercolor paints.

Very pretty colors in this smaller set. They cover nicely and I have had no complaints about them. I have purchased multiple sets of this brand and really like them.

These are gorgeous watercolors! I've been wanting them for ages and finally treated myself to them. While they aren't the usual transparent watercolors, they are rich and vibrant in saturation. A little goes a long way. The pans are large so it's easy to use larger brushes and they'll last a long time. They are a great investment!

I love these paints! Creamy watercolors that give wonderful opaque color payoff. Just beautiful!

The best paints I have used. Just go for the big box of all of them. This organizes all their colors on one small place. I wish I had done that!

These are gorgeous. Worth the price. Colors are opaque & the metallic colors are so fun!

I love these paints. wonderful big pans. these paints are not meant to be mixed much. They are not like gouache, some have compared, tough some are opaque. The pans don't have much paint in them. I thought maybe its because the paint is very concentrated. I was surprise to reach the bottom of the pan rather quickly. I love the feel of this paint. great colors, and it's been fun learning how not to mix your own colors, and experimenting with using white. I would love to try the metallic paints. Iv ordered the little six pan set, for travel journal, and outdoor painting, so I will include my opinion on that set later. Im not bothered by the cardboard box. Its lovely and sturdy, with a coating where the pans lay. Im not worried about the box getting soggy. Its a great set for studio use, and a good value compared to other solid Japanese watercolor brands. Id like to be able to get individual colors, because some I use a lot of, and some would last me a long time. It would be wonderful to find refills full to the top of this paint. I gave it four out of five stars because I think the pans should be at least half to three quarters full. I might change that, if I knew there was a good reason for not filling the pans more. I like the big size of the pans. Some pans had a white sort of salt deposit on the top. this is not a problem, and seems to be a natural occurrence with that color. some pans were cracked. you can repair that by adding a few drops of water and the paint will heal as it drys.

There is nothing better than Kuratake. I have some very budget friendly paints, and some very high end paints. I will reach for these every time. They are creamy, and can be more opaque if you need that. They take water well to blend and make things more transparent. I love that the trays are large and can be taken out individually. They are also marked with the name so you don't have to guess where they go. Absolutely my favorite.

Belle gouache/aquarelle japonaise.

Rien de bien nouveau dans ce produit

Arrivati esattamente entro il periodo indicato. Imballati con molta cura. Devo ancora usarli ma sono molto contenta.

I really like the range of colours and how it’s a bit more opaque than normal watercolour

Ich war lange um diese Japanischen Aquarellfarben herumgeschlichen, bin jetzt total happy, dass ich sie mir gekauft habe, und möchte nie wieder ohne sie sein, denn sie sind herrlich vielseitig. Wenn ich nass in nass mit ihnen male, sind die Farben dennoch kräftiger als bei den Europäischen Aquarellfarben. Also diese große Luftigkeit ist auf dem fertigen Bild nicht gegeben. Kann ich gut mit leben, denn dafür habe ich ja meine Sennelier und Co. Wenn ich deckend mit ihnen male, trocknet die Farbe fast lackartig ab, es sieht aus, als hätte ich mit Lackfarbe gemalt. Allerdings habe ich dieses Phänomen erst auf Papier gehabt, das überhaupt nicht saugfähig ist. Diese Japanischen Aquarellfarben besitzen eine hohe Strahlkraft. So herrlich leuchtende Farben. Man kann gut 2 bis 3 der Farben miteinander mischen. Die Farbauswahl der 48 Farben finde ich einfach großartig, ich muss mir nur selten einen eigenen Farbton zusammenmischen. Wenn die Farbe auf dem Papier fast trocken ist, lässt sie sich leicht wieder anlösen und weiter vermalen. Die großen Näpfchen sind klasse für große Aquarellpinsel! Diese Japanischen Aquarellfarben machen einfach nur richtig Laune!!!!
