## Features

- [Colors] 12 New Kuretake Gansai Tambi colors, light and neutral shades for the expression of softer colors. Beige color tones, previously missing from the Gansai Tambi Color lineup, have been created and included in this new set, making it easier to paint figure illustrations. High-quality, professional-grade watercolors can be used by people of all abilities, beginners and professional artists alike. Since light and medium color tones are included, the range of artistic expression broadens when combined with other Gansai Tambi Watercolor sets.
- [Ink] Unique technology allows for the development of pigment ink that leaves flat-washes easily, while remaining easy to blend. Gansai Tambi ink can be diluted to create a more watercolor-like picture, while still remaining bright and opaque, or can be used as a gauche by limiting water dilution. Ink dries with a slight sheen.
- [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.
- [Color Chart] Fill-in color chart provided on the inner side of the box. Swatch your own colors easily for quick color identification
- [Ideal Gift Set] Packaged in a simple cardboard box with elegant green washi overlay. Perfect for gifts

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best watercolor paint I have ever used!
*by T***R on August 31, 2025*

I'm definitely converted...these paints are just lovely! Full saturation, wide range of colors (something for almost anything you could want to paint), and the texture is a dream. I have my eye on that biiiiig box next.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This palette is great!
*by S***N on September 23, 2018*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s coming from Japan so it takes a little longer to get to the U.S.
*by M***T on September 26, 2025*

These paints are amazing the colors are vibrant and the gradient is beautiful. They are a finer paint but certainly worth the money. They are easy to use and comes with 2 swatch papers one with the paints and a smaller one for traveling. I love these paints
