Review on 🎨 Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor - STARRY, PEARL, GEM Triple Pack (6 Colors) - Gold, Silver, Mica - Creamy-Smooth, Handcrafted Paints - Professional-Quality Pigment Inks for Artists and Crafters - AP-Certified by Karla Richter

Okay, pros and cons: First cons: These paints are good, but the tubes aren't even half full. I can't tell how thick the bottom of the tray is yet, it can be less than half full (ladies, think of eye makeup trays that look deep but aren't really and you'll see what I think). full, barely covering the ground. When you think of a pot or half-pot of water paint, you usually think of a pot that has at least half an inch of paint in the pan or tub. Not with these. The plastic trays they come in are a good size but to be honest they don't have enough color for the money spent. Box and Trays: The packaging is very light and the cardboard boxes they come in make these expensive sets look cheap. The six plastic trays come in a paper box, which is fine but feels very disposable. Revain currently doesn't allow photos to be posted due to the CV19 issue and they may not have website support for photos, otherwise I would show you how underfilled these slots are. Even halfway in the trays. Pros: The colors are gorgeous and you get some coverage and shimmer from them. The items are rich and ideal for light details. Pastels and bright colors are good for setting accents, but I would question the lightfastness. Since all the information on the boxes is written in Japanese, I cannot say which grade, lightfastness or opacity. Therefore, I consider these colors as a "hobby". They can work well with paintings, watercolor maps, or anything not made for professional display. They can work in professional works, but only as simple accents. Some tips. If you use glitter or shimmer paint, use different glasses of water to rinse your brushes so you don't mix the water or brush with other colors. They dry quickly and blend. OK, but be careful when trying to match the color to your normal colors as mismatching them can make them messy and interfere with shimmery or normal colors. The best colors they work with are quinacridones and clear colors. They can be inhibited by cadmium and opaque dyes. If you use them in their pure form, they're fine. They cover pretty well. I overpaid and probably think it will be $20 for all three sets. I think they get you at a hefty price.
