Review: Stunning Colours with Unmatched Opacity and Smoothness - I absolutely love the Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints – for me, they almost sit between watercolour and gouache, which makes them really versatile. The opacity and smoothness are something else, and the colours have such a rich, vibrant finish. The glittery metallics in this set are gorgeous and add a special touch to any piece. I’ve collected all the palettes in the range because each one feels unique and inspiring. They’re professional quality paints that are simply a joy to work with.
Review: Lovely - I’ve had these since last September and only just got around to giving them a good go. I got totally taken over by W&N and Daniel Smith and also my gorgeous Rosa watercolours. I felt a bit bad about it and they were so neglected. So out they came! I am having a lovely time playing around with them. I prefer them very watered down as I like to use lots of layers. They do this very nicely and you can achieve mixed colours through doing this. I don’t think they will replace my traditional watercolours as they do behave differently. You can drop them into a wet area and they do move, but they are different. I am sorely tempted to buy another set. Obviously I DO NOT need them at all …..

## Features

- Causes serious eye damage.
- Causes skin irritation.
- May cause respiratory irritation.
- Suspected of causing cancer.
- [GANSAI TAMBI] It is traditional, Japanese watercolor, developing colors that are based off of those seen in nature. Colors are vivid and opaque, and pans are carefully fill so that the paint is smooth, rather than granulated, and dries with a slight sheen. Individual pans are replaceable.
- [Ink] Unique technology allows for the development of pigment ink that leaves flat-washes easily, while remaining easy to blend. Gansai Tambi ink can be diluted to create a more watercolor-like picture, while still remaining bright and opaque, or can be used as a gauche by limiting water dilution. Ink dries with a slight sheen
- [Brush Dexterity] Gansai Tambi Pans are much larger than typical watercolor pans, giving you the ability to use both small or large brushes quite easily.
- [Ideal Gift Set] Packaged in a simple cardboard box with elegant green washi overlay. Perfect for gifts.
- Kuretake Co., Ltd. founded in 1902 and celebrate 120th anniversary this year, so Kuretake introduced “Art nouveau” tastes into Gansai Tambi new set, which was a trend in Europe back in our year of the establishment. The concept is based in “Art nouveau” though, balanced colors are chosen, and you can create any illustration only with this set.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A mix between gouache and watercolours, all in a lovely green box.
*by S***E on 22 June 2015*

There's a huge amount of hype around these paints, rave reviews and accolades on You Tube. I'm afraid I couldn't resist. They arrived promptly, a nice suprise as they came direct from Japan. The box is quite large 32x20cm ( approx) and a solid card box. In the lid is a chart to fill the paint colours in. It's all in Japenese, except for the numbers. This chart corresponds to the layout/ order of the paints. They are in white trays approximately 4.5x 2.5 cms, and are named in Japenese but numbered. I would definately urge you to fill this chart in, and I've also done a larger one on water colour paper, as it's hard to really see what the colours are, as many are similar in appearance or too dark to see. For example; there appear to be a great many similar reds, but in fact there is a great selection of a wide spectrum. I went for the 36 colours, as I wanted the gold. This box has a super array of colours, they are really good pigment, and a creamy consistency , more like a gouache than traditional watercolours. There is a very slight sheen in the colours, a bit like the sheen you get from coloured inks. The white is very slightly shiny, and the pearlescent white very shiny indeed. There is no silver, but a pewter type colour and a coppery gold. I've really enjoyed playing with these paints, and am glad I went for the larger set. I think they are good value for money, as they are high quality pigmented paints, that can be used as water colours with Lots of water, or a very creamy opaque paint. So a versatile addition to any artist, and a good starter set to someone who is perhaps nervous of watercolours.
