Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry colors 6 color set

Darker shades are pretty opaque and the lighter ones are sheer, both are good and serve a purpose! I am very satisfied with their performance and value.

What a lovely addition to my other watercolors. Especially number 902 which is just a lovely deep gold color. Moves well across the page and “drops in” nicely into other colors.

I bought a different brand of metallics at the same time, to test side by side. I like these just as much as the other brand that cost twice as much. They wet easily, have a nice texture, beautiful color, and sheen - excellent for adding highlights and accents. The cardboard pallet is odd, but keeps the cost down. I will probably buy another set, to add a pan or two to other pallets, to add accent capability to the regular color sets.

So opaque and beautiful! Easy to use, takes a fair bit of water to make opaque. So worth the price.

What a beautiful set of shimmery foiled colors ranging from an ice white to a deep gold. You do need to play with them a bit because based on how much you work the color up with water, you can get a sheer look or a deeper opaque one. Stunning any way you use it. I am not a painter so I know people will compare them to more professional brands but I am pleased and the price point to output is acceptable. I don’t think anyone would be displeased with these in their stash.

Great for adding sparkle to my projects.

Quite a nice variety of metallics and good price

These watercolor paints are a little hard to reset but when they do they are very pretty and are just what I wanted.

I just swatched mine today, and I’m in love. The individual pans are much bigger than I was expecting. Plus, the quality is really good! The individual colors range in opaqueness, but with two light layers, the ones that are less opaque even out. Overall, the opaqueness is awesome, though. In my picture, each word is written with only one light coat, for reference. These are well worth the money. I’m extremely happy with this purchase.

I saw an artist use these metallic colors to create beautiful art so I thought I’d try them out. Wow! The colors are truly beautiful and shimmery. I used Stonehenge black 100% cotton paper. The 3rd photo shows how I was able to layer colors, even while the paints were wet, which is perfect for me when I’m using black paper. Great value and quality. I love them!
