Here are random colour swatches. Can you identify the colours from Kissho based on what I said about the hard edges? There are six from Kissho. What about you? Have you already gotten some Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors? Can you share your experiences, thoughts or review down in the comments below, for other readers? We’d all love to hear from you! Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor Great review, I like the video too. I love working with water colors but have always stayed firm with the brand I like, but now I have to give these a try. Just handed my husband my birthday gift list (its in Oct so he has time, lol).

Handmade Watercolors - Glittery / Sparkly / Shimmering / Metallic Paints - Set of 12 Half Pans - Grab BagMany creators all over the world are using Gansai Tambi and sharing their artwork on various SNS platforms. Discovery: The “Starry” palette seems to have a different binder, so you can (carefully) use them on top of other colors without too much smudging–much more so than the metallics that come with the sets. Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors are wildly popular and with good reason. They are particularly exciting to card makers and crafters these days. That being said, it is not a new product fad. Artists have loved this product a long time. The company has been producing quality art supplies for over 100 years and their reputation is important to them. In the largest set with the metallic colors, the Gold (often referred to as bronze), Bluish Gold (often referred to as gold) and Silver (sometimes referred to as “that pearl color”), are just amazing. The vibrancy of the all the colors is wonderful. As with all of the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors, they lift with little effort at all.

I have the set of 24 and love them. I didn’t even realize that they are popular, I don’t even remember why I bought them, probably saw them used in a video somewhere. They are so much better than any other watercolor brands I have tried (several). I am not great at watercoloring, though, so would love to see some video tutorials on how to use them.

|Here's the review of the popular Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolour. Gansai refers to Japanese watercolour and Tambi means "aesthetic". M. Graham Watercolor Paints Landscape Trial Set In Nature Colors, Magnetic Half Pan Set In Metal Tin Palette, Primary and Convenience Colors Behind the cardboard cover is a table with some empty boxes for you to create your colour swatches. For a 12 pan set like this, you can actually still identify the colours by looking at the pans. However when there are too many colours, it will be difficult to identify because the colours will look too similar and that's when you will find a colour swatch table really useful. By the way, I appreciate your call to be an artist for God. It’s always a joy to find fellow Christian artists out there 🙂

These swatches above are from the Kissho Gansai set. The distinguishing difference is for Kissho, there's a tendency for the colours to dry with a hard edge. Hence you have to be more careful when using Kissho especially if you desire a flat wash. You can create flat washes much easier with Kuretake.
