Kuretake’s Transparent Watercolor Set is perfect for anyone ranging from a beginner watercolorist to an experienced painter! This compact watercolor set is highly portable and ideal for travel. The translucent shades in this set are perfect for adding color to your illustrations, landscapes, cards, and other paper crafts. I also highly recommend a mixing pan or tray so you can properly dilute your paints, these are far too pigmented for use straight from the pan. Plastic works perfectly well, but I'm fond of porcelain as it's easier to clean. I bought a set of these recently and have found that they are flaking in the pan after use (after they dry out again). Also, if I let them dry in my palette, they just turn into big flakes which makes them impossible to transport. Have you had this issue? I’m wondering if I got a bad batch or something. In the largest set with the metallic colors, the Gold (often referred to as bronze), Bluish Gold (often referred to as gold) and Silver (sometimes referred to as “that pearl color”), are just amazing. The vibrancy of the all the colors is wonderful. As with all of the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors, they lift with little effort at all. As you can see, you can easily achieve flat washes with Kuretake Gansai Tambi. The colours would have that pastel-like feel but overall colours are still quite vibrant. For this particular set, it works well for pen and ink sketches as you can still see the lines show through beneath. ConclusionI bought this set after making a mistake. In an earlier video review on my Youtube channel, I had referred to my Kissho Gansai set as a Kuretake set. That's wrong of course. These are two different brands but their Gansai products are quite similar. Anyway, Kuretake is the more well known brand. Here are random colour swatches. Can you identify the colours from Kissho based on what I said about the hard edges? There are six from Kissho.

Thanks so much for the color chart. I just opened my set of 36 to find everything but the color number in Japanese! So I was thrilled to be able to put names to my color. Water-based pigment paint can be highly opaque when used solely as a gouache but can also become more transparent depending on the amount of water added for dilution. Paints are gorgeous. Great assortment if you don't want to constantly mix up your own colors. BUT rather opaque! NO REAL RED. I was reflecting over the weekend. It was Veteran’s Day in America and Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom. Freedom For Others Many in Hi Rebekah! Thanks so much for this post. Just wondering how much a set like this costs in the art stores you frequent, because the stores in my country (Malaysia) doesn’t have anything like this. 🙁

I just wanted you to know how much I have been enjoying your posts/tutorials. I know these are a labor of love and a response to God’s call. Your encouragement in this community of creativity in God is invaluable to me. |Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors are handcrafted, professional-quality Japanese watercolors with a highly blendable, creamy-smooth consistency. The colors are rich and intense, and exhibit greater opacity than European or American watercolors in traditional Japanese style. I cannot say enough exciting things about them. They took several weeks to arrive but are WELL worth the investment and patience to receive them. The Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors are artist grade and will last a very long time in their extra big pans. They are highly pigmented and a little goes a very long way.
