Review: Beautiful paints to have - I have been painting with watercolor for decades and these are beautiful and fun to incorporate into projects. They are high quality as this brand never disappoints. They have a nice sparkle and glow and I recommend adding them to your watercolor paint collection. They have professional level saturation of color and excellent consistency and easily blended
Review: Amazing Watercolors that Shine! - I recently acquired three sets of the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. I decided to buy the combination offer as it roughly came out to $8.00 per set which is an excellent deal for artist grade watercolors. Each set contains full size pans at about 1.5x1 inches in size. All pans have individual numbers on the underside for product identification and good for individual replacements which are available. The pans sit in a cardboard package with a palette that can be removed easily. I cut off the end of each to make it easier to slide them out. All of these watercolors have opaque coverage, unlike regular watercolors and make them ideal for illustration and works where you aren't creating multiple layers of color. Starry Colors feature a range of opaque metallic golds and show up well on dark and light papers. The lighter gold presents as a nice alternative to a silver tone. The Pearl palette features pastel tones of primary and secondary hues and is suited best for light papers as all of the colors look somewhat similar on dark paper, but could work well for highlighting other darker colors. Lastly, is the Gem Colors and these honestly are the best set as far as coverage and pigment. They apply rich and beautifully but are especially brilliant on dark paper. The yellow color of the set is comparable to Finetec Arabic Gold which is popular among calligraphers. With all the palettes, you have to work the pan with a brush and /or prep it to lift the colors. Some have recommended misting the palette with a small spray bottle which I plan to try. Overall, these colors are excellent for accenting and highlighting artworks. I highly recommend them for artists who are budget conscious, but seek a quality set of metallic watercolors.
