Kuretake ZIG GANSAI TAMBI watercolor set (36 Colour Set)

Product Information

Best review I’ve seen watercolor paints since I’ve started using watercolors and producing art pieces.

Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). Today’s Gansai is still poured into those lovely, large pans and may be more lightfast than the traditional colors. Gansai have a glossier finish than Western watercolours, especially in areas where they are applied generously.

Thanks for your review, Marialena… the problem with mixing may be due to the pigment content in each of the colours. Recently, I was gifted a set of gansai by Kissho, which I have grown to love over the last couple of months.

The large pallets allow working straight from palette to paper, making them great for painting on the go. Hatoba - Usually translated to mean blue-black in the context of colour, but literally translating to ‘pigeon wing’, this bold pink references the lighter parts of pigeon feathers.

Asagi - A blue green that shares its name with an ancient breed of Koi which is characterised by striking blue scales. Water-based pigment paint can be highly opaque when used solely as a gouache but can also become more transparent depending on the amount of water added for dilution. Kodai-Rokusho - Ancient verdigris - green is traditionally associated in Japan with matcha tea and the ever important tea ceremony.

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.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The Japanese are good competition for the Brits when it comes to their love of tea, apparent in their colour naming!
