Review: This palette is great! - 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.
Review: Vibrant Colors - I discovered this brand over the summer. It is vibrant and dries with a great texture when put on thick. It is a very good quality for the price point with no smell. Some of the colors are pale and need a little less water.

## Features

- [Flexible Techniques] Paints do not leave hard edges when dry, making flat-washes easy to accomplish, and are easy to layer with proper technique.
- [Brush Dexterity] Gansai Tambi Pans are much larger than typical watercolor pans, giving you the ability to use both small or large brushes quite easily.
- [Palette and Color chart included] Within each Gansai Tambi set is a protective sheet that not only keeps your pans from shifting but can be used as a palette mixer. Each box also includes a color chart so you can swatch the colors yourself and distinguish between them quickly.
- [Beautiful Packaging, Ideal for Gift-giving] Water-based pigment is ACMI-certified, and packaged in a simple cardboard box with elegant green washi overlay. Perfect for gifts.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hello! When will the Art Nouveau watercolor set become available again?**
A: We're very sorry to keep you waiting. It will be restocked probably in March or April.

**Q: Are the pans in this 24 color set individually wrapped or do they have the large plastic covering all of them?**
A: they are NOT individually wrapped.  The colors are poured into a white plastic pan.  The green box and cover are  cardboard.  Wrapping is cheesy, colors are gorgeous.

**Q: When are your having new restock of the muted color set?**
A: We're very sorry to keep you waiting. It will be restocked probably in March or April.

**Q: Can you scoop the paint out of the pans and put them in a tradition plastic airtight case that is made to be used with tube paint?**
A: Initially no. But you can “melt” it inside the container if you add just enough water not to have it completely diluted. Then u can just pull out the pan or scrape the “melted” paint off into the pan. Otherwise its too much work really.

Mine came shattered. I put then together but when dry you can even crack the paint inside the pans and put the “crumbs” into your container, add some water for it to form into a solid piece again. 

Again…too much work unless you’re determined to do it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibrant Colors
*by S***A on October 31, 2025*

I discovered this brand over the summer. It is vibrant and dries with a great texture when put on thick. It is a very good quality for the price point with no smell. Some of the colors are pale and need a little less water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful blend of colors!
*by S***. on November 26, 2025*

First, I just want to say that I love these watercolors! I have quite the assortment of other brands and I find the quality of these paints are among the best that I have ever used. The pigments are pure and the coverage is smooth and beautiful, the pan size is great for long lasting usage and the packaging is compact and appears that the durability will withstand use. The only complaint or recommendation that I have would be, that the company would use more of a watercolor paper on the inside of the lid where they provide space for swatches. Overall, I highly recommend these watercolors!
