Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor 36 Colors Set, Handcrafted, Professional-Quality Pigment Inks for Artists and Crafters, AP-Certified, Blendable, Show up on Dark Paper, Made in Japan

Very high quality intense vibrant pigment!!

These paints are Amazing!! They are well worth the money.

I do not believe I have used watercolor in at the very least 7 years and I have to say this one has impressed me. I only did a quick small piece but the pigmentation is really high on these. I would fully recommend these so far. Every color I used I liked so far. I even liked the metallic gold which I remember metallic being less BAM color but these showed well. I just got these today and they impressed me enough to log in and do a review!

These are fabulous ..the colors are amazing !

Holy cow, did these ever live up to the hype. I work with a number of different sorts of watercolor media, and Ive been wary of pan watercolors for far too long. Cheaper ones are often just...awful, not nearly pigmented enough, and hard to work with. But not this set! Oh my goodness, these are some pigment rich paints! They are absolutely delightful to work with. They blend beautifully, they thin down beautifully, and they cover beautifully. Theyre quite different from the tube watercolors Ive tried - frankly, I like these much better. Theyre easier to get the color juuuust right. Stop dithering, and just treat yourself to these fantastic little paints. Youll be glad you did! (Side note: I was worried about cracked pans, having read the comments. My paints arrived in absolutely perfect condition - no cracks, no bubbles, just gorgeous. Also, they are surprisingly HUGE.)

Perfect paints for beginners, or even experts. Easy to use and great colors.

I am a newbie to nice watercolors, but analyzed between the white nights and this- am super happy with this set, gorgeous creamy colors, a joy to use.

Beautiful, strong, bright watercolor paint. Love it.

High quality and beautiful colors. Love the ease of use. These watercolors quickly turn creamy when you go to pick up the color with your wet brush. Highly recommend.

The colors are not super transclucent but it works with the illustrations. I would not recommend this set for classic watercolor artists. It goes super with lettering and doodles.
