Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI 48 color set, watercolor paint, Made in Japan, MC20/48V

Heerlijk om mee te werken, mooie heldere kleuren. Prijs/kwaliteit is prima

Zo blij met deze verfdoos, prachtige kleuren en goed mengbaar met water.

Prachtige kleuren en heel fijn om te gebruiken. Ook om gewoon mee te kleuren in kleurboeken.

De meningen zijn blijkbaar nogal verdeeld, maar het is mijn favoriete verf.Mooie kleuren.

It is the original Gansai Tambi no complain over the product. It is not my first set, so I know what I can expect. Wanted to have some new colours, so I decided to order this product. Again product would deserve 5 stars. It is highly pigmented and according how much water added it is possible to create from creamy opaque effect to translucent watercolour effect. However the packaging is extremely poor, the protecting tray is free in a sloppy plastic bag and it is just transported in a thin paperbag of Amazon. So in this case for the transport I would give 1 star. Attached is the photo how it arrived. So please Mr/Ms Singel Bagger by Amazon, do a favour and put the product in a box, they exist, I get them regularly!

Fantastic colours they all become so vibrant.

You can’t go wrong with Kuretake…unless you are expecting western watercolors. They can be used like western watercolors, but they are semi-opaque, so require more water to get the transparency of western watercolors, but it’s doable. The colors are vivid and bright, and work great for the flower and landscapes I like to do. The paints activate easily and are nice and creamy. You can mix two or three colors, but they can tend to get muddy if you go too far with them, but there are so many pre-mixed colors, that you really don’t have to mix much.

絵手紙用に購入しました。楽しんで描いていこうと思います。

Ok

maybe i shouldnt have gotten this as i am new to watercolor. i loveeee the colors! but i am bad in using them haha. i like that i can pick up the pans im using and set them near me. so i wont dab into the wrong ones. i havent been using them alot as watercolor is still a steep learning curve for me. but seriously i do love this set!

On the evening of the day these paints were due to be delivered I received an email from Amazon to say they had been delivered successfully and that the package was accepted by a male resident of the household. None of this was true. No package was delivered to our home. No male resident accepted receipt of the package. We searched for the package in case it had been left in a safe place. It had not. There are many to choose from in our front garden, used successfully by other delivery personal. The following morning, our postman, Tom, discovered the package in my neighbour's porch. Knowing they were away in France, he checked for correct name and address. Realising it was addressed to me and not the residents of our neighbour's house, he passed the package to me. I would like to know who the mysterious male resident is that the Amazon delivery person passed my parcel to. This delivery person must have an amazingly long arm to reach all the way to France. So much for truthful and accurate tracking!I have searched a long time to find these Kuretaki paints in a set of 48, at a price I could just afford. Seeing them on Amazon at £50 and a few pence, with free delivery on prime, I jumped at a chance to buy them and deleted the equivalent set priced at £65 and then some for postage on my eBay site. Amazon represented great value. The box is a cool shade of olive green with a chop or cartouche of gold Japanese writing down the centre. Inside the paints are fixed in place by a neat see through plastic cover, below which is a glorious site of the most amazing range of watercolour/ gouache paints in kingsized pans. The box has the names of the colours charted out on the inside of the lid, on the base of the box and on a smaller free sheet of paper, both in Japanese characters and in English. Each pan has the Japanese colour symbols on it's base. This could be a great way to learn a little Japanese. This is a beautifully presented set of paints. I have already bought a few examples as single pans and have been impressed by the ease of wetting and release of paint from the pan. The large size allows the use of larger brushes when doing larger washes. Colour intensity is high, as is luminosity and coverage. They can be used as watercolour or gouache depending on the amount of water used with them. They are a joy to use. Really looking forward to preparing the colour swatches that have been included in the box for your convenience. I can't wait to get started.
