Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI 36 colors set, Watercolor Paint Set, Professional-quality for artists and crafters, AP-Certified, water colors for adult, Made in Japan

Game changing watercolors for me. They blend beautifully, glaze over each other beautifully, and sit on top of the page in a really unique way that makes it possible to lift colors completely while they’re wet, and create spots of completely pure colors on top of others (imaginable placing a splotch of purple at the center of a half-dry swath of pink, I would expect it to partly mix or muddy, but instead the pink seems to be pushed outward, creating a blossom of pure purple). Also the shimmery silver sheen color is really stunning! These aren’t grainy or chalky at all and I’m really enjoying them, as a beginner.

The set I received is beautifully intact -- no cracks, with its original packaging plastic -- and all pans are filled as shown in the sellers image. The colors are rich and have a smooth texture. I bought mine from VALUES JAPAN through amazon. I highly recommend this seller.

I love these watercolors. I spent hours reading reviews and couldn’t decide between Kuretake or the Windsor Newton’s, and I’m glad I took a chance on these! They are very pigmented and a lot goes a long way. Beautiful rich colors and the metallics are so sparkly and amazing! I want to buy their other metallic colors now too.

Yall these are just straight up so pretty- I would buy a set just for display. Vibrant colors, pan size is nice and big, and it comes with gold. What more do you need?

These paints are of superior quality, and versatile to boot. I use them straight or mixed (like mixing the metallic/pearlescent paints with colors), and lovely variations in colors can be achieved simply w/ different concentrations in water. My mom saw them at my home & promptly decided she needed them also. My only issue is the size of the box containing removable paint wells (rectangular plastic wells that can be taken out & repositioned). If I could find a smaller box for them, I would purchase it since this cardboard one is beautiful but so much larger than most of my other watercolor sets that it necessitates special storage. It’s all worth it though - as the intensity of the colors is unique and worth every cent!

Good quality

This watercolor are not professional ones. Haven’t try the color fasten on them. They are more opaque than what I like. But they are excellent for some work there transparent is not necessarily.

The colors are really lovely and easy to lift before it drys. If your not use to something so pigmented you might struggle with the water to paint ratio at first but I have really enjoyed them so far. They can dry a bit odd if you don’t pay attention to how much water you use. Not sure how to exactly explain it but if you work with it and figure it out it’s kind of a nice effect . The color selection is pretty legit as well

Love the colors, love the vibrancy and loooove the sparkle paints included. Huge palette with really big pans to work from. They are really fun to work with. None of my paints were broken or cracked when I got it, although I was concerned because it was not packaged well AND my ups guy throws things onto my porch instead of setting it down. And when he threw this I was cringing, BUT they were fine. Really happy with these.

Amazing product I really enjoy it painting with them!
