Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry colors 6 color set

I was pleasantly surprised with how great these were. A little water goes a long way. It activates quickly, had good quality on the paper, it flows well, and there is a lot of sparkle.

this is my second tray. i like to mix with watercolor pigment. adds luster

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!

Great for adding sparkle to my projects.

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 was pleasantly surprised with the quality and beautiful, subtle results of these watercolors. Excellent purchase, I recommend and Ill buy again.

For the price I was surprised the pans were only in cardboard. To store the paints they must be slid into the box. The paint needs to be fairly wet to get a smooth coat. They keep a nice shimmer when dry and can be used on white paper. I ran a thick band over some watercolors I was swatching out. The pearl color showed up letting the color of the dried paint come through.

I purchased these after seeing a You Tube video where a card maker used them on her cards. She raved about them and I was impressed with them when she did a quick demonstration comparing them to other metallic paints. I purchased them , I could not help myself! And I tried them as soon as they were delivered! I was not disappointed! They are some of the most beautiful metallic paints I have ever used or owned! Just gorgeous!

I love this set! It is beautiful whether to paint or just accent.

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.
