Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry colors 6 color set

I like the color, the sheen and the the large pans they come in. Good value.

Very vibrant and great for adding details onto artwork. Each shade is noticeably different and not too similar to one another. One problem is that is does smell weird once you add water to it, but I try not to have it too close to my face.

For the price I was surprised the pans were only in cardboard. To store the paints they must be slid into the box. The paint needs to be fairly wet to get a smooth coat. They keep a nice shimmer when dry and can be used on white paper. I ran a thick band over some watercolors I was swatching out. The pearl color showed up letting the color of the dried paint come through.

My daughter does a lot of art with gold paint, so I purchased this for her birthday. she is in love with the paints. She says they are high quality and flow easily. I am very happy and will buy more for sure. Thank you for making her 16th birthday great.

These paints are so pretty. Each color is unique when painted and not just the same looking shimmering blob. I had a difficult time getting the box open initially trying not to tear it but I’ll be trimming the tabs to prevent that in the future. I wish these came in a proper case but they work just fine this way. I tend to be very messy so I worry about messing up the cardboard with too much water, but hopefully it lasts!

Very easy to use. Colors are true, and dont granulate.

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

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.

The pans have a variety of golds and almost platinum which are quite lovely. There is even a white glitter choice that can be added to Christmas and winter themes. Absolutely love this set for accenting homemade cards!

For under $10 these metallic watercolors are amazing. I recently used this set in my very first floral watercolor piece and they worked wonderfully for what I had intended. A little bit of water and once you work your brush into the pan the magic begins. If youre not careful with how you lay down the pigment it can be a little bit patchy in areas, but nothing a second pass over wont remedy. My only gripe is that the pans seem less than half full, but in reality, you get what you pay for. The Finetec metallics in the metal tin are higher in quality and more opaque, but this Kuratake Starry set is a great starter into metallic watercolors.
