Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry colors 6 color set

I love these paints for shimmering effects on my abstract pieces and for use on black watercolor paper. Would definitely recommend and buy again.

I like the addition of a little luster to some of my watercolor painting that these provide.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and beautiful, subtle results of these watercolors. Excellent purchase, I recommend and Ill buy again.

For what they are, metallic watercolors, they are the best Ive used at this price point. More transparent than other metallic options (like paint markers) allows for overlay techniques and adding shine and details on top of other mediums like watercolor or pencil drawings. They have a strong metallic look to them when you move the paper under light, but transparent enough not to be a solid color. Not as good for pure gilding as a metallic marker might be, which is truly opaque.They layer with themselves okay, but not great, so if you really want a super solid metallic color that is solid no matter the angle of the paper, go with something else like metallic paint marker or metallic oil pencil. But if you want to add neat shimmer and gold effects without completely blocking out the drawing and details underneath, these are excellent for that.

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.

More paint here than I anticipated! Makes a great addition to watercolor painting. Way easier and more precise than gold leaf. Way prettier than pen. Value good enough that I don’t mind letting the grandkids use it!

Think it’s a bit pricey for the amount of paint you get

I’m just a cardmaking newbie but I love this metallic watercolor set. It works great for adding a small shiny touch to my cards. You can see the wonderful shiny sheen it gives off in the bear card photo. The only thing about Kuretake paints is that it comes in a thin card stock like tray instead of plastic or metal so I don’t like the packaging but the product is awesome! Highly recommend!

I was impressed by the shimmer, assuming it would not be anywhere near as metallic as in the pan, but it is! My only disappointment is there is very little paint, the large square makes it appear that you get lots of paint but the paint is actually very thin so you dont get as much as I would hope for the price.

I love metallic Paints and Inks, and After seeing a review of team on a youtube I really wanted to add these to my collection and hopefully produce from good illustrations with them. The paint is thick enough to go over my Faber-castell without needing too much. This was after making a swatch on the test paper and the thumbnail for what I wanted to do.
