## Description

Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolour Paint Set 48 Colours, Professional-quality art supplies for artists, Non-Toxic, Made in Japan

## Features

- [GANSAI TAMBI] It is traditional, Japanese watercolor, developing colors that are based off of those seen in nature. Colors are vivid and opaque, and pans are carefully fill so that the paint is smooth, rather than granulated, and dries with a slight sheen. Individual pans are replaceable.
- [Ink] Unique technology allows for the development of pigment ink that leaves flat-washes easily, while remaining easy to blend. Gansai Tambi ink can be diluted to create a more watercolor-like picture, while still remaining bright and opaque, or can be used as a gauche by limiting water dilution. Ink dries with a slight sheen
- [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.
- [Ideal Gift Set] Packaged in a simple cardboard box with elegant green washi overlay. Perfect for gifts.
- Kuretake Co., Ltd. founded in 1902 and celebrate 120th anniversary this year, so Kuretake introduced “Art nouveau” tastes into Gansai Tambi new set, which was a trend in Europe back in our year of the establishment. The concept is based in “Art nouveau” though, balanced colors are chosen, and you can create any illustration only with this set.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what size is each pan please?**
A: The pans are full size and slightly larger than European 'large' pans and shallower . The paint quality is exceptional for the price. Rich vibrant colours and creamy.

**Q: how many colours to this set**
A: This set has 48 pans. 6 rows of 8 pans. I bought this set recently and have been impressed with the range of colours and ease of use. They wet quickly, the colour lifts off easily and I enjoy using them. I have since bought the pastel 6 and  the gem 6 sets. Also very nice paints. I like the large pan size.

**Q: Do these include pearl colours shimmering gansai with pearly colours ?**
A: No. These are all plain colours with no mica. They are a delight to work with as they are creamy and take only seconds to become usable once wet..

**Q: Is this the full range of Kuretake colours ?**
A: No
