Features

  • GANSAI TAMBI is traditional, Japanese watercolor, developing colors that are based off of those seen in nature. Colors are vivid and opaque, and pans are carefully fill so that the paint is smooth, rather than granulated, and dries with a slight sheen. Individual pans are replaceable.
  • [Ink] Unique technology allows for the development of pigment ink that leaves flat-washes easily, while remaining easy to blend. Gansai Tambi ink can be diluted to create a more watercolor-like picture, while still remaining bright and opaque, or can be used as a gauche by limiting water dilution. Ink dries with a slight sheen
  • [Brush Dexterity] Gansai Tambi Pans are much larger than typical watercolor pans, giving you the ability to use both small or large brushes quite easily.
  • [Ideal Gift Set] Packaged in a simple cardboard box with elegant green washi overlay. Perfect for gifts
  • AP-Certified, Made in Japan

  • Best watercolor paint I have ever used!
Style: 48 colors
I'm definitely converted...these paints are just lovely! Full saturation, wide range of colors (something for almost anything you could want to paint), and the texture is a dream. I have my eye on that biiiiig box next.

  • This palette is great!
Style: 36 colors set
I think the easiest way to do this is to just list off a bunch of pros and cons... Note, I'm still learning and growing as an artist. I'm not a professional. I have provided some of the pieces I've created using almost exclusively these watercolors (and sometimes some pens/markers, purchased separately from this set of course) PROS: THESE COLORS ARE SOOOO BEAUTIFUL! The colors are very vibrant and blend out really nice; if you don't water it down, it's almost like painting with acrylic with how thick it is; when you water it down, it's a beautiful, amazing watercolor. The lid has the names of all the colors with empty squares by the names so you can do your own swatches of the colors. They layer really well. The white is opaque enough to use. With watercolors, you generally want to work light to dark... but sometimes you don't fully plan ahead and decide that a highlight would look great in a spot that's already pretty dark. With most watercolors that I've used, the white doesn't really help anything, but with this set, it does. You get a lot of paint with this palette. I've had problems with watercolor coming out chalky and just kind of gross looking, I've yet to have that problem with these. CONS: Some of the colors separate. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly which ones do. I'd imagine it has something to do with the formula used to make certain colors but I'm not sure. What it tends to do in separating: it's almost like you drew a randomly designed cobweb with a white pencil/crayon that the pigment just won't settle on. In some pieces (especially abstract or logos) it actually looks really cool. The colors don't stay mixed. If you look at the palette, there's no skin tone. When I did the eye (second photo) I had to mix my own. No big deal. I mixed the color in a separate, empty palette. I walked away briefly after mixing my colors and when I came back, the colors had parted in the water. It wasn't a big deal, as they mixed back together with a little stir, but it was certainly strange. Price. These work about as well as the Prang brand watercolors, which can often be found for much cheaper. Still, compared to other watercolors, I feel like these hold their own and can be worth the price. Overall, I love this palette and would recommend. ... show more

  • Nouveau Kuretake paints, newest addition to my paints.
Style: 12 colors (Nuance)
I love Kuretake paints. The colors in this palette are beautiful and compliment each other. The pans are large and I love that I can remove the colors I want to use. They are so painterly, either opaque or translucent depending on the amount of water. They also blend well with other paints I have.

  • Worth the price for beginning children artists and includes warm/ cool primary colors
Style: Set of 24 colors
The images included with this review show only the warm and cool primaries, a total of six pans, in a plastic lid. The entire set is not shown, and these six colors were removed for the purpose of teaching color theory to my six-year-old grandson. Once we got through color theory, he began to use the entire set. I purchased the set for my 6-year-old grandson as a substitute for the traditional inexpensive Prang pan sets that cost around $2. This is definitely an investment if you want to teach your child about water colors and color theory. I selected this item because the primary colors of red yellow and blue are included in this set in both the warm and cool spectrum. In case you didn't know, the warm and cool colors you choose to mix additional colors is extremely important to obtain specific mixed colors. I do find the colors are very vibrant but on the Milky side not as translucent as I would like but still amazingly better than the inexpensive hand paints typically used in schools. My grandson took a lot of pride in owning this beautiful set of watercolor paints. I do wish the box was waterproof to withstand water better but it's holding up very well so far. Watercolor painting is so much fun with children! Being able to remove the pans was perfect for isolating the primary colors to prevent distractions and to be able to focus on color theory concepts. The box includes a place to paint each of the colors for a reference guide on the lid underside. ... show more

  • Great set of paints for anyone.
Style: 36 colors set
I have both the 36 and 48 color sets and they are lovely! They are NOT western watercolors, although they can be used like western watercolors and with some practice get similar results. The paints are semi-opaque, so must be really watered down to get the translucence of western watercolors. They are very vibrant and have a nice creamy consistency. Because of the binder, they tend to dry with the satin sheen where the paint is heavy. I absolutely love them for what they are and have created some beautiful work with them…and I’m new to traditional watercolor. ... show more

  • Great intensity, not quite watercolors, some interesting shades
Style: 12 colors (Nuance)
I love the quality of this paint. The colors are intense and pretty. Most of them lean toward spring and summer shades. A few are pretty bright and almost neon but I still like them. I’m not sure why there are two dark reds - they don’t fit with the others. I wish they had included a nice soft yellow. I’ve had a little challenge getting it to be transparent - it’s not like other watercolors I own. Overall I’m happy with my purchase and think I will continue to enjoy this set. ... show more
