Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors, 48 Colors

I bought this set after it was recommended to me. The set came extremely fast and was packaged well. The set is very nice! The colors are vibrant and had quite the selection. They have a rich smooth feel to them. It comes with a chart you can create for reference and each color comes in its own little tray so you can remove it if you want. The single trays are also labeled as well as the box they come in so you can always put them back where they go. I will definately reorder this set in the future.

I have been doing watercolor for the last 6 months, so I decided to amp my game and buy something really nice and special. This is what I bought and I love it! Beautiful colors, creamy texture, and easy to use. I totally recommend you get one!

After my previous pallet went missing I was really looking forward to using this one. The colors looked great, it was huge and even featured metallics. Then I actually tried to use it. The biggest issue is the patchiness. The paper can be completely dry and the second I would attempt to paint over a previously laid down layer all of the watercolor would be picked up by the brush and move around so there was never any solid pigment. The pigment itself is both way to sheer yet way to opaque. The moment I would water down the paint it would become far to sheer to really use and I would have to use layer upon layer in order to attempt to get an even decent color yet due to the previous issues the pigment never became opaque and was just patchy. It’s so unfortunate because not only does the well it’s self look very pretty but it is also pretty expensive. So honestly just look for a better brand with the same color palettes.

These watercolors are amazing! The colors are very vivid and bright A great purchase for the price of it. no Complaints at all!

You will not be disappointed. I have 2 of these and I enjoy them so much. I love watercolor painting with these for years now and they last a very long time. I love them!

These paints are absolutely beautiful to use. I use them for botanical illustrations….fantastic colours

I am happy that I finally pulled the trigger and purchased these for myself. No fuss about what colors to mix to make this or that, these were my started set and Ive been enjoying them for the past few weeks. The colors are vibrant and the paint is easy to use. Im pleased with my purchase.

Oh my goodness, I know these are not traditional watercolors due to not having the gum Arabic in them for opacity, but my goodness, I am IN LOVE. These are so mixable, so customizable, and an absolute and utter joy to work with. So glad I splurged!!

They certainly arent as smooth, as say, something Daniel Smith would put out but for what theyre asking...it aint half bad! Ive gone though a couple of these sets already and have a hard time finding something bad to say about them. A great variety of color to work from for not a lot of money. Definitely for students to pros looking to try something new without killing your wallet over the higher tier sets.

I love these watercolors. These are my 2nd set. I originally had the 36 set. Its nice to have new colors and professional colors like cadmiums, cobalt, and quinacridone. They’ve really stepped up their game. I love the big pans and find the paints have plenty of pigment. In my travels I’ve come across many professional artists that own these as well. I look forward to using all these new colors
