GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor Paint Set 24 Colors, Professional-quality art supplies for artists adult painting aketching, Non-Toxic, Made in Japan

Many You Tubers use this paint so I bought this. Very pleased with the quality. Large pans are so much easier than the tiny ones in most sets. Also, each pan has the color printed on it which is a great help if you spill your pans out of the box. Comes with a chart of colors and two blank color charts. One is typical cold press paper, the other is smoother, glossier (hot press?) so you can see the difference.

The colors are gorgeous!! Fine quality watercolor paint for a good price.

creamy and beautiful colors , just what I wanted, will purchase more sets after seeing the quality of this set. very happy with my purchase. Thankyou

I ordered the art nouveau 24-pan palette several days ago and am back today to order the 48-pan set. These paints are gorgeous and luxurious. They are highly pigmented and go on more opaque that traditional American watercolors. They work great for painting detailed pictures and adding color to drawings. I don’t think they’re the best for mixing or for interesting wet on wet effects. I didn’t find the art moves I colors to be too amenable to mixing. Although the colors are gorgeous, this set doesn’t contain basic primaries for mixing. The convenience colors are gorgeous and the paints are thick, creamy, and opaque. But if you’re looking for translucence and layering and the ability to mix any color, you probably want to pass on the art nouveau set.

I think the easiest way to do this is to just list off a bunch of pros and cons... Note, I'm still learning and growing as an artist. I'm not a professional. I have provided some of the pieces I've created using almost exclusively these watercolors (and sometimes some pens/markers, purchased separately from this set of course) PROS: THESE COLORS ARE SOOOO BEAUTIFUL! The colors are very vibrant and blend out really nice; if you don't water it down, it's almost like painting with acrylic with how thick it is; when you water it down, it's a beautiful, amazing watercolor. The lid has the names of all the colors with empty squares by the names so you can do your own swatches of the colors. They layer really well. The white is opaque enough to use. With watercolors, you generally want to work light to dark... but sometimes you don't fully plan ahead and decide that a highlight would look great in a spot that's already pretty dark. With most watercolors that I've used, the white doesn't really help anything, but with this set, it does. You get a lot of paint with this palette. I've had problems with watercolor coming out chalky and just kind of gross looking, I've yet to have that problem with these. CONS: Some of the colors separate. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly which ones do. I'd imagine it has something to do with the formula used to make certain colors but I'm not sure. What it tends to do in separating: it's almost like you drew a randomly designed cobweb with a white pencil/crayon that the pigment just won't settle on. In some pieces (especially abstract or logos) it actually looks really cool. The colors don't stay mixed. If you look at the palette, there's no skin tone. When I did the eye (second photo) I had to mix my own. No big deal. I mixed the color in a separate, empty palette. I walked away briefly after mixing my colors and when I came back, the colors had parted in the water. It wasn't a big deal, as they mixed back together with a little stir, but it was certainly strange. Price. These work about as well as the Prang brand watercolors, which can often be found for much cheaper. Still, compared to other watercolors, I feel like these hold their own and can be worth the price. Overall, I love this palette and would recommend.

Paints are good quality and I love all the various hues included in this set. Only wish Kuretake would have included some sort of flat mixing area palette on which to use. I have two of their graphite sets, same song and same story. No mixing wells.

The images included with this review show only the warm and cool primaries, a total of six pans, in a plastic lid. The entire set is not shown, and these six colors were removed for the purpose of teaching color theory to my six-year-old grandson. Once we got through color theory, he began to use the entire set. I purchased the set for my 6-year-old grandson as a substitute for the traditional inexpensive Prang pan sets that cost around $2. This is definitely an investment if you want to teach your child about water colors and color theory. I selected this item because the primary colors of red yellow and blue are included in this set in both the warm and cool spectrum. In case you didn't know, the warm and cool colors you choose to mix additional colors is extremely important to obtain specific mixed colors. I do find the colors are very vibrant but on the Milky side not as translucent as I would like but still amazingly better than the inexpensive hand paints typically used in schools. My grandson took a lot of pride in owning this beautiful set of watercolor paints. I do wish the box was waterproof to withstand water better but it's holding up very well so far. Watercolor painting is so much fun with children! Being able to remove the pans was perfect for isolating the primary colors to prevent distractions and to be able to focus on color theory concepts. The box includes a place to paint each of the colors for a reference guide on the lid underside.

Great colors, fit together well. The quality is great and they mix and blend well! Here’s some art that I’ve done with it

Estou apaixonada! É muito pigmentado e as tintas são enormes! Comprei apenas pelos reviews, e estava meio ressabiada, mas amei! Os aquarelistas podem comprar sem erro!

Maravilhosa!!!!

Sehr schöne Farben

Las acuarelas me han encantado. Son colores muy pigmentados, con los que puedes conseguir fácilmente desde tonos claros (mucha agua), tonos intensos (poca agua) y tonos opacos (con muy poca agua). La paleta de color, personalmente me ha gustado mucho. Vienen 36 colores de los cuales 3 son especiales. El blanco perlado, el dorado y bronce con efecto metalizado brillante. Los Godets que contienen la pintura son grandes (llevan una gran cantidad) y además con muy poquita da para mucho, por lo que realmente van a durar mucho tiempo. Las acuarelas vienen en una bonita caja al estilo japonés, de cartón duro y tienen un plástico protector que cubre completamente las acuarelas. En el interior de la tapa, hay para hacer el registro de colores. Todos los colores tienen el nombre en japonés pero también están numeradas, por lo que es muy fácil saber cual es cual. Pongo fotos y un vídeo donde pruebo todos los colores y hago la carta de color de la tapa, y otra carta de color en papel mixmedia, para que podáis verlas, ya que creo que una opinión visual es lo que más te puede ayudar a decidirte. Espero te sea útil mi reseña

Como creativa que adora las acuarelas para moodboards y ilustraciones esotéricas, compré este Kuretake Gansai Tambi Juego de 24 colores II, Art Nouveau colors, MC20/24V/NW por su vibe inspirada en el Art Nouveau –esa elegancia orgánica de finales del XIX que evoca curvas florales y misterios sutiles. Es un set japonés tradicional con 24 pans grandes (48x28 mm) en una caja compacta de cartón con overlay washi verde, lleno de tonos neutros y muted (verdes musgo, azules etéreos, rosas polvorientos) más toques vibrantes que se complementan perfecto. Lo abrí para un sketch rápido y me perdí horas mezclando capas suaves que capturan esa esencia onírica sin esfuerzo. Lo que me ha seducido en cada pincelada: Tonos equilibrados y versátiles: Colores inspirados en la naturaleza, semi-opacos que se diluyen en washes etéreos o se aplican gruesos para gouache-like – ideales para fondos simbólicos o detalles finos en mis diseños. Pans generosos y reactivantes: Tamaño pro para pinceles grandes/pequeños, se humedecen rápido y mantienen frescura días enteros; el acabado satinado da un brillo sutil sin chalkiness. Calidad artesanal japonesa: Pigmentos intensos no tóxicos (AP-certified), hechos con tinta expertise de 120 años – se separan para efectos whimsy y blending effortless. Portátil y regalo-ready: Caja ligera que viaja bien, y el set completo crea ilustraciones armónicas sin mezclas extras. Lo que podría afinar: Algunos tonos muted son tan suaves que necesitan capas para punch en papeles absorbentes; no granulan como tradicionales. El precio sube por ser edición especial, pero vale por la paleta curada. La primera vez que swatché los 24, un verde oliva se transformó en un mandala fluido que parecía susurrar secretos alquímicos – justo lo que necesitaba para un moodboard estancado. ¿Lo recomiendo? Sí, para artistas intermedios o ilustradores que busquen acuarelas opacas con twist japonés. Perfecto para Art Nouveau vibes o cualquier proyecto que pida armonía sutil. Consejo extra: Humedece con spray antes de usar y prueba en papel cold-pressed para washes mágicos; combina con fineliners para contours orgánicos.
