Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors, 48 Colors

I’m a watercolorist and wanted a more opaque paint that wasn’t gouache. They take some getting use too, you can’t approach them the same was as watercolor. A little goes a long way and they blend so beautifully. I paint with watercolor and then use my kuretake for my darks and my opaque pops of color. I highly recommend. They aren’t lightfast, so I would recommend a varnish if possible.

The set was really beautiful and nice quality for the cost of it. Really nice that you can take out individual colors out of the box as well to make it more convenient. Really glad that I got it.

These are my favorite watercolors, will buy more in the future.

Oh my gosh I dropped the box a couple of inches and the entire set cracked up and moved around in the box. I don’t see how I can use these in studio. So brittle!!!!

The colors and package it comes in is so beautiful! It has a subtle stinky smell when the paints are wet but goes away when dry. You get so many lovely colors and a lot of paint. These have very large paint wells which I like and they are loose to you can replace them too. I would recommend!

These paints are absolutely beautiful to use. I use them for botanical illustrations….fantastic colours

Purchased these to paint a watercolor for my moms birthday. Very impressed with how forgiving the paints are for shading, and the pigments are bold when needed. Im really pleased and proud of my first-ever wc!

Love these paints. Transparent and I love how they move on paper...I do wish the pans were filled more...

The large sections of paint and beautiful colors Easy to carry outdoors

Well worth the money!!!! Tons of product, much larger palette than I imagined! Very pigmented!! I had this sitting in my cart for quite a while debating because it was so inexpensive… don’t hesitate! Just buy it!
