Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors, 48 Colors

I am a beginner watercolorist. This is my third set of watercolors. The first our teacher gave us the second I got. While my second was a big upgrade from my first it still was not great. My teacher showed us these in class so when I got a gift card at mothers day I decided that I was going to get them and boy am I glad I did. I am still practicing with them and may never use them for more then journaling but they make water coloring so much easier. No lumpy paint or anything else you come across with a cheap set of watercolors. I have been practicing with them in an old journal I have and I dont want to stop painting. Even not knowing exactly what I am doing I recommend these. After all wet page, wet brush, blended color and you are off to whatever your mind can help you create.

This is the most beautiful watercolor set Ive ever seen.

These paints are different from watercolor and gouache I have used. There is an unevenness when painting dries and a patchiness. But I think it is because a new technique is needed. Possibly a different paper. I look forward to learning how to use them. They are beautiful and rich colors. The pans are bigger and therefor they are not full to the brim. If you put the same amount of paint in a pan half the size it would fill it. So they are worth the money. I may come back later and give more stars.I am not sorry I purchased them.

Great pigments!

This pallet is for beginners to experts. Colors are beautiful

These are my favorite watercolors, will buy more in the future.

Arrived all the way from Japan in perfect condition. Very pleased.

These colors are amazing. Vibrant rich colors. They can either be watercolor or use them as gouache.

Great pallet, so many colors and they are all super pigmented. Perfect for beginners!
