## Description

Product description

Review: Magic watercolor - Absolutely beautiful. It is incredible to watch the colors develop. No two strokes of the brush is the same. The effects using different brushes with this paint is amazing. Rich colors and a creamy texture that you can control with the amount of water you use.
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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A different texture and consistency from regular Kuretake watercolor pans
*by D***E on March 23, 2026*

This set - despite marketed as watercolor pan - has a different consistency and texture as compared to Kuretake's other watercolor pans. The 1st group of color watch was wet on dry, pan to paper. When dried, there was a sheen to the colors. The lines were the same but as the brush moved across the paper, pigment spread out nicely. The 2nd group were wet on wet but the pigment just sat and did not spread without help. I imagine that you must dilute heavily with water for it to move. But overall really pretty and unique colors. The Red is really a red bean color or a deep mauve. The other are shades of black with different hues. I would try using these really diluted with calligraphy paper next and see how the paint responds differently. This is fun.
