Features
- [48 Colors] Gansai is traditional Japanese watercolor, utilizing colors that are based off those seen in nature, meaning they are vivid and opaque. Pans are carefully filled with paint that is smooth, not granulated, and dries with a slight shiny finish.
- [Flexible Techniques] Paints do not leave hard edges when dry, making flat-washes easy to accomplish, and are easy to layer with proper technique.
- [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.
- [Palette and Color chart included] Within each Gansai Tambi set is a protective sheet that not only keeps your pans from shifting but can be used as a palette mixer. Each box also includes a color chart so you can swatch the colors yourself and distinguish between them quickly.
- [Beautiful Packaging, Ideal for Gift-giving] Water-based pigment is ACMI-certified, and packaged in a simple cardboard box with elegant green washi overlay. Perfect for gifts.

Many You Tubers use this paint so I bought this. Very pleased with the quality. Large pans are so much easier than the tiny ones in most sets. Also, each pan has the color printed on it which is a great help if you spill your pans out of the box. Comes with a chart of colors and two blank color charts. One is typical cold press paper, the other is smoother, glossier (hot press?) so you can see the difference.

I ordered the art nouveau 24-pan palette several days ago and am back today to order the 48-pan set. These paints are gorgeous and luxurious. They are highly pigmented and go on more opaque that traditional American watercolors. They work great for painting detailed pictures and adding color to drawings. I don’t think they’re the best for mixing or for interesting wet on wet effects. I didn’t find the art moves I colors to be too amenable to mixing. Although the colors are gorgeous, this set doesn’t contain basic primaries for mixing. The convenience colors are gorgeous and the paints are thick, creamy, and opaque. But if you’re looking for translucence and layering and the ability to mix any color, you probably want to pass on the art nouveau 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.

This is a set of the newest colors.. Which a couple I like, but mostly I had higher hopes... Spoiled by the art nouveau palatte which is a perfect palatte. The paint is really nice and there are some great colors, but as a stand alone, they aren't anywhere as complementary as the art nouveau set, this is more to add to palattes you have.

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.
