Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry colors 6 color set

I love this set! It is beautiful whether to paint or just accent.

I purchased these after seeing a You Tube video where a card maker used them on her cards. She raved about them and I was impressed with them when she did a quick demonstration comparing them to other metallic paints. I purchased them , I could not help myself! And I tried them as soon as they were delivered! I was not disappointed! They are some of the most beautiful metallic paints I have ever used or owned! Just gorgeous!

I loved these! Ive added swatches of them (theyre the very bottom row of six, the rest on the page are the set of 36 which I highly recommend as well!) so you can see what they look like on paper. The variations between them are very subtle, but one of my favorite things to do is to add them to other colors to add a spark of iridescence. Ive used iridescent watercolor medium in the past, its tricky business trying to get just the right amount where it sparkles but not so much that it turns into a drag show on a Saturday night. My one tiny complaint is the light gold is really transparent; this is the best color to add to others to get that shimmer. White gold does have a bit of titanium white feel to it so it will show through a bit if you layer it over a darker color. The blue gold is... not very blue (the Bluish Gold #91 from the 36 color set is way more blue!) but its warm and pretty, great for accent. If youre looking for a nice set of metallics that wont break the bank and have some actual opacity to them, go for it! Just know that if you already have the 36 color set youll end up with an extra pan of #906 White Gold, but you can always find a use for it!

Beautiful colors, vibrant and highly pigmented. When I first tried this, I was a little bit disappointed, the product didnt feel as I was expecting, and the colors were not what I thought they should look like. But, yesterday I did a drawing with it and Omg, I realized I wasnt putting enough water on it. They are precious, and the finish is just perfect.

I use these primarily for hand lettering. I use several different brushes, but my favorite is the Pentel Aquash water brush. These are beautiful, glittery watercolors. I have already hit the pan on one of them. They blend with other watercolors beautifully. I have even used the white gold and mixed it with other colors to create a glittery version of that color. I will keep buying these every time I run out!

I used these initially for Christmas cards. I started a journal and am obsessed with these golds. They are beautiful on any paper. (Transforms craft paper). Definitely worth the money.

These watercolor paints are a little hard to reset but when they do they are very pretty and are just what I wanted.

What a beautiful set of shimmery foiled colors ranging from an ice white to a deep gold. You do need to play with them a bit because based on how much you work the color up with water, you can get a sheer look or a deeper opaque one. Stunning any way you use it. I am not a painter so I know people will compare them to more professional brands but I am pleased and the price point to output is acceptable. I don’t think anyone would be displeased with these in their stash.

Quite a nice variety of metallics and good price

Been wanting to try iridescent watercolors to accent a tiger and a wolf I had painted on black watercolor paper. It was just what I needed.
