Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry colors 6 color set

Ok so overall, this product is worth the money. Shimmer watercolors are not common or expected in color palettes and not too common in general. The formula for these is workable and has incredible pay off for the glitter. The color range is more dramatic on paper, I was worried bc the 04 and 05 look similar in the pan. The coverage is amazing for 01 and 04 just incredibly thick and opaque in one layer. 02 and 03 is a little patchy but a second layer fixes that. Then 05 and 06 are very sheer however that is expected/wanted from the light colors. I compared my acrylic gold ink ($7 on clearance so its the cost of this whole pallette) to 02 and its almost a perfect color match. My ink is more opaque but its acrylic so what do you expect. In conclusion, if you need a gold pallette for those special details: this is the pallette for you. Honestly just buy it for 04 because man thats just such a good pay off for a gorgeous champagne color.

this is my second tray. i like to mix with watercolor pigment. adds luster

I love the paints, colors and creaminess of the pigments. Id knock off half a star as the packaging wasnt in English - which was shown in the description. It came in, I apologize for not knowing the difference, Chinese or Japanese chararcters. So have to look up the paint numbers on other boxes to get the correct name of each color.

Absolutely wonderful. Very pigmented metallics if used right - put a layer of water and let it soak in for about 15-20 minutes, after it has, it will seem squishy, but after adding more water immediately and using it, it turns out wonderful. They dry rather quickly, perform great, and Im definitely going to buy more of this brand. They look amazing to add a small or large touch to your watercolor paintings.

These are beautiful color and the end result really add a lot to your art piece. Highly recommend.

The colors are terrific however they take a lot of time and water to activate. My complaint is the packaging. The plastic pans are set in a thin cardboard tray but are bigger that other full pans so they don’t fit in a standard palette box. (Pic is a comparison to White Nights full pans). Got to find a tin they will fit in. Huge pans does mean good value for the money.

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.

Easy way to add nice shine to paintings!

Absolutely in love with this set. Colors are vibrant and the metallic is among the best Ive used. Keep looking for ways and reasons to use them. Paints beautifully and works well with dip pen too. Would buy again without hesitation.

Nice product! Worked well for my hand made holiday cards. It is pretty sheer at first but i was able to make it thicker. Only disappointment is that it is not in a metal or plastic storage container but I might have missed that in the description. I’ll just keep it in the packaging for storage.
