Description of Kuretake ZIG Gansai Tambi 36 Colors: Professional Watercolors for Artists and Crafters - Solid Watercolor Set with Waterbased Pigment Ink, Ideal for Sketching and Illustration, Includes 3 Water Brush Pens

[36 Colors] Gansai is traditional Japanese watercolor, utilizing colors that are based off those seen in nature, meaning they are vivid and opaque. Pans are carefully filled with paint that is smooth, not granulated, and dries with a slight shiny finish. [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.

Great product but the delivery terms are not so good.

These colors are very easy to work with and mix well. My only complaint is that they arrived with one of the corners of the box peeling off and some of the paint showing scratches. Plus it's a great product. The brush pens are really good, they were received as advertised.

Pros
  • Excellent workmanship
Cons
  • boring packaging

Buy them, you won't regret it!

I needed quality watercolors for an illustration class and they definitely fitted! Although I prefer to use tube watercolors, the tubes are extremely pigmented, saturated, and flow smoothly onto the paper (watercolor paper, of course). I also love the watercolor brushes that come with it. Easy to use and produces just the right amount of water as you paint. Colors are easy to mix, dilute and moisten. Whether you are an experienced watercolorist or a beginner, I would recommend purchasing…

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • Slightly Wrinkled

Gorgeous Vegan Paints

I got a set of 36 colors with brushes. I'm a beginner and I really like these colors. The flexibility to go from a rich color to any color or from very soft and translucent is what interests me so much about them. Very smooth finish and I love that every color is vegan unlike some other sets where a color or two is non vegan. I've already had compliments from people who paint more regularly and I'm going to gift this set to a few people. The included brushes release more water when painting, so

Pros
  • Pens
Cons
  • Crumpled

I love these watercolors!

I made a Tambis pattern (the bottom row of six is a separate metallic pack which I highly recommend!) so you can get a feel for how they look and I also have a Koi 24- Pattern made swatch sketch set to compare. Now the tambis are not as bright as the koi, but the pots are 4 times larger and you will get much more benefit from them. Colors are more opaque (although you can fix that by adding more water), and you get a decent enough range of colors to mix and match, something you might not be…

Pros
  • Blueprint
Cons
  • No Instructions
