Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry colors 6 color set

The paints are very good and I used them on my home Christmas cards and they performed well. My only complaint is that the paper packaging is only the cover for the paints. No plastic cover made it less easy to use for me,so be careful to open the paper box carefully as it is the only cover that you have after use.

The watercolor pans are packaged in a open cardboard tray. No lid, no adhesive, no backing, just plopped in the tray. They fall right out of the tray if you tip the tray the wrong way. I havent used them yet but just based on the terrible packaging, I would certainly never buy this brand again!

Ive honestly been lusting after the Finetech metallic watercolor pallet for ages, but could never justify spending the $$$, I purchased this pallet thinking it would be sub-par, but Im honestly so impressed with the quality. I will be doing a full review of this product very soon on my YouTube art channel, but so far, Im very pleased with the product. If you want to increase the pigmentation, I recommend placing a few drops of water onto the pan you wish to use and letting it sit for a few moments before dipping in with your brush. Also, the packaging isnt ideal, especially since cardboard is... well... water soluble, and these are water-activated paints afterall... so that wasnt a great move on their part. But youre a creative person, Im sure you DIY wizards could come up with a solution. Hot glue them into an old Altoids tin or something? I dont know.

Absolutely wonderful. Very pigmented metallics if used right - put a layer of water and let it soak in for about 15-20 minutes, after it has, it will seem squishy, but after adding more water immediately and using it, it turns out wonderful. They dry rather quickly, perform great, and Im definitely going to buy more of this brand. They look amazing to add a small or large touch to your watercolor paintings.

I used some of this paint to add a few embellishments to a Valentines day card that I made for someone special and it turned out stunning. They loved it! High quality paints, reasonably priced, a generous amount of paints, a tiny bit goes a long way. Highly recommend and will buy again.

Quite a nice variety of metallics and good price

I love the paints, colors and creaminess of the pigments. Id knock off half a star as the packaging wasnt in English - which was shown in the description. It came in, I apologize for not knowing the difference, Chinese or Japanese chararcters. So have to look up the paint numbers on other boxes to get the correct name of each color.

I had seen these metallics demonstrated on a YouTube channel so I thought Id try them out. They were not as shiny as I expected them to be. The first three colors are the best. I wish I could just buy the gold and copper colors separately.

Love these!

My daughter does a lot of art with gold paint, so I purchased this for her birthday. she is in love with the paints. She says they are high quality and flow easily. I am very happy and will buy more for sure. Thank you for making her 16th birthday great.
