Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry colors 6 color set

More paint here than I anticipated! Makes a great addition to watercolor painting. Way easier and more precise than gold leaf. Way prettier than pen. Value good enough that I don’t mind letting the grandkids use it!

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

Lovely product. Great pigment when the water is left on the surface of the paint for a minute or so to activate it. Metallic colours are vibrant and glittery.

Used this to splatter ink on red yardstick for card making backgrounds. Absolutely beautiful!!

I’m just a cardmaking newbie but I love this metallic watercolor set. It works great for adding a small shiny touch to my cards. You can see the wonderful shiny sheen it gives off in the bear card photo. The only thing about Kuretake paints is that it comes in a thin card stock like tray instead of plastic or metal so I don’t like the packaging but the product is awesome! Highly recommend!

I like the color, the sheen and the the large pans they come in. Good value.

Although the silver isnt exactly perfect visibility wise, the golds are just stunning! Although water color paints, Ive been able to use them on acrylic canvas as well. Stunning colors, works perfectly, and large amounts of each. Exactly what I was hoping for!

Love these!

Super pretty shimmer. Big pans that are easy to use.

For what they are, metallic watercolors, they are the best Ive used at this price point. More transparent than other metallic options (like paint markers) allows for overlay techniques and adding shine and details on top of other mediums like watercolor or pencil drawings. They have a strong metallic look to them when you move the paper under light, but transparent enough not to be a solid color. Not as good for pure gilding as a metallic marker might be, which is truly opaque.They layer with themselves okay, but not great, so if you really want a super solid metallic color that is solid no matter the angle of the paper, go with something else like metallic paint marker or metallic oil pencil. But if you want to add neat shimmer and gold effects without completely blocking out the drawing and details underneath, these are excellent for that.
