Kuretake ZIG GANSAI TAMBI watercolor set (36 Colour Set)

Product Information

If watercolor is a favorite for you, be sure you have a set! Some colors just aren’t found in other collections and those metallics!?! 🙂 Behind the cardboard cover is a table with some empty boxes for you to create your colour swatches. For a 12 pan set like this, you can actually still identify the colours by looking at the pans. However when there are too many colours, it will be difficult to identify because the colours will look too similar and that's when you will find a colour swatch table really useful. The hardest part is determining the color names. The list provided by manufacturer is minimal, at best. I spent time comparing my paint samples (on Strathmore 140 lb pad, whiter than Arches) with several watercolor and color books I own. Discovery: The “Starry” palette seems to have a different binder, so you can (carefully) use them on top of other colors without too much smudging–much more so than the metallics that come with the sets.

Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. What about you?

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. I have the set of 24 and love them. I didn’t even realize that they are popular, I don’t even remember why I bought them, probably saw them used in a video somewhere. They are so much better than any other watercolor brands I have tried (several). I am not great at watercoloring, though, so would love to see some video tutorials on how to use them.Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors are wildly popular and with good reason. They are particularly exciting to card makers and crafters these days. That being said, it is not a new product fad. Artists have loved this product a long time. The company has been producing quality art supplies for over 100 years and their reputation is important to them. 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. Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor review, set up and how to Kuretake Gansai Japanese Watercolours are traditional, highly pigmented watercolour paints. They are suitable for professional and amateur artists, and are ideal for drawing, illustration, Sumi-e etc. I also love that the box has added the English names for the pigments since the last time I bought them!!

Sadly you cannot other than to buy a new set to replace with as you go. I am not worried about it personally since the paint is so pigmented, it’ll be a long time before I can run out of even my favorite colors.The soft nylon brush tip of Clean Color Real Brush allows for a wide range of brush strokes from broad to extra fine. The colors can be blended like watercolors in a palette when used with a water brush. Available below in 7 sets: Set of 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60. 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. The inclusion of white is probably no surprising as these are supposed to be opaque paints. So you can use white to create a more pastel look. The pans are laid out nicely in the box. Beneath each pan you can see the colour code and the name of the colour in Japanese. The same colour number code refer to different colours for Kuretake and Kissho.
