Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor 36 Colors Set, Handcrafted, Professional-Quality Pigment Inks for Artists and Crafters, AP-Certified, Blendable, Show up on Dark Paper, Made in Japan

I really like this watercolor set. The price is great compare to other brands with the volume of paint included, I like this set has more shades of blues and greens, and it includes three starry colors. Also this package was delivered so fast (less than one full day since I ordered)

I LOVE these! They are Gansai (check out Sadie Saves the Day on youtube to better understand Gansai) so they have a different binder than what we are used to, but the colors melt my heart! Enjoy!

These colors are so creamy, a joy to paint with.

My favorite watercolors. Love these. Great value and easy to use.

Absolutely beautiful colors. Seems super high quality, especially the packing.

Fast shipping and excellent conditions

I love these watercolors! The colors are rich and creamy. I use these professionally for custom marriage certificates, and will certainly purchase again when they run out!

Really beautiful set. Good pigment, easy to work with, nice range of colors.

Love this set so much!

I have decided to switch from my Sakura Koi Pocket Field Sketch watercolors to these Gansai watercolors. I love both but the difference is definitely quite something. Probably wont be going back to my Sakuras anytime soon though- And I have a LOT of watercolor sets ranging from cheap $5 Korean tube sets, Crayola pans, and to a few Windsor and Newton. Each pan is stamped with a number and the color name in Japanese on the bottom so theyre easy to remove and add back. I wish that they were translated though. I could only make out basic kanji characters like crimson, grass, peony, etc. The best part about these watercolors is that theyre so vibrant and smooth. With little water, theyre almost like gouache paints. I was surprised to see three metallic paints as well and theyre beautiful by themselves or to add accents. Swatching all the paints was fun and yet crucial because the colors do not look like the pans. A lot of the darker colors in blue or purples definitely surprised me with how light they really are. I do wish that there were actually peach or skin tone colors because I tend to paint a lot of people subjects and its a pain to mix up new skin tones every time. I received mine in two days through Prime in 40 degrees weather and they came smooth and not cracked. But after a few hours after unwrapping them and letting them sit, barely visible cracks appeared on the cakes. Im assuming it has to do something with the moisture content and temperature.
