Kuretake ZIG GANSAI TAMBI watercolor set (36 Colour Set)

Product Information

If watercolor is a favorite for you, be sure you have a set! Some colors just aren’t found in other collections and those metallics!?! 🙂 These Kuretake Gansai Watercolours are very intense colours with exceptional brilliance and brightness. All shades blend perfectly together. Perfect for painting in the studio or on the go. The unique filtration design maintains a consistent flow of water to the brush tip. Simply fill the barrel with water and the water brush is ready to be used! No more messes with a BrusH2O in hand. Works wonderfully with our Art & Graphic Twin, Clean Color Real Brush, and Gansai Tambi Watercolors. What do I mean by “lift”? Simply put, when you put a wet brush onto the surface of the watercolor, how much pigment gets lifted off the surface, onto your brush? Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors lift great. That means there is plenty of pigment on your brush with little effort to get it there. No scrubbing your brush on the surface trying to get extra pigment and no adding layer upon layer of color, just to get any joy out of the vibrancy your project has. My favorite part of getting the largest set Kuretake offer, ( the 36 colors), are those beautiful metallics. They only came in this biggest set which is why I chose to invest in the full set. But, since originally sharing this post, they have released two dedicated pearlescent gansai tambi watercolor sets with even more.

In the largest set with the metallic colors, the Gold (often referred to as bronze), Bluish Gold (often referred to as gold) and Silver (sometimes referred to as “that pearl color”), are just amazing. The vibrancy of the all the colors is wonderful. As with all of the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors, they lift with little effort at all. As you can see, you can easily achieve flat washes with Kuretake Gansai Tambi. The colours would have that pastel-like feel but overall colours are still quite vibrant. For this particular set, it works well for pen and ink sketches as you can still see the lines show through beneath. ConclusionKuretake Gansai Japanese Watercolour Sets contain whole pans and are available in the following sets: Both Kuretake and Kissho offer the cardboard box sets but the Kissho seems to be the only one that sells the plastic palette box set. The inclusion of white is probably no surprising as these are supposed to be opaque paints. So you can use white to create a more pastel look. All discounts against RRP are made against the United Kingdom Recommended Retail Price (RRP).

The 24 pan set (31996) contains the colours from the 12 pan set, plus: 134 dark pink, 139 purple, 143 medium yellow, 147 dark brown, 150 bright turquoise, 151 may green, 152 ocean green, 154 olive green, 157 turquoise green, 158 evergreen, 161 cornflower blue, 162 cobalt blue

On the left is the full pan. It's gigantic. The middle's the Gansai half pan and the right is the more common half pan. Note that the Gansai pans are not filled to the brim. So a half Gansai pan actually contains, probably, the same amount of paint as those common half pans. When you used up the Gansai pan, you can obviously fill it up to the brim with your tube paints. That's exactly what I'm going to do to save me the trouble of finding Gansai replacement pans.Here's the review of the popular Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolour. Gansai refers to Japanese watercolour and Tambi means "aesthetic". Behind the cardboard cover is a table with some empty boxes for you to create your colour swatches. For a 12 pan set like this, you can actually still identify the colours by looking at the pans. However when there are too many colours, it will be difficult to identify because the colours will look too similar and that's when you will find a colour swatch table really useful. What about you?
