Kuretake Gansai Tambi Gem Colors Watercolor paint set 6 colours, Professional-Quality for Artists and Crafters, Non-Toxic, Made in Japan

Kuretake Sumi watercolours are an interesting set worth having.

I’m really happy with this product. I create some really beautiful artwork with it

Update on my last review re my disappointment with these paints. Now the test strip has dried thoroughly, the colours are much better and have split well. The red is the most complex as I cannot see a great deal of red in the formula granules. I will give a 5* though.

Very saturated, dark pigments. Nice granulation. I like to put them wet on dry, and then wet the paper around to control the pigment flow. Easy to lift. I have to try them on paper bigger than A5. Little goes a long way. Somehow yellow is more like nice mossy green, while green is more cool. On last picture I made a delicate wash with red to achieve pinkish tone, then blue for sky and and yellow for hills on top layer.

Only just got these so still playing around with them. They are not priced high enough to deter me from trying, so why not? They are a nice addition to my art set. I think they work best with other watercolour. On their own they are a bit much and not really what we think of as watercolour. They don’t behave like watercolours. However, if you use them WITH watercolour, they do behave a little differently. For the price you can’t go wrong and I am tempted to buy more of their paints as they are very popular. I have attached an image of them over my Winsor & Newton watercolours so you can see how nicely they behave in that situation.

Great quality set better for black paper and card.

Lovely and bright and shiny. Have great coverage too

What an interesting set of watercolour paints and good value for money. There is however a knack to using them, for good colour shift add more water than you think then wait, waiting is the key to colour seperation. Practice with the amount of water needed for depth of colour required.

El producto es de muy alta calidad es mucho más de lo que esperaba los colores son realmente brillantes con una sola capa, es duradero y creo que la calidad por el precio está muy adecuada definitivamente lo compraría de nuevo

Kurutake fait de très jolies aquarelles. Je recommande.

ممتاز

The colors are not as bright as in the picture but they are absolutely amazing, they are more desaturated and earthy which I prefer

These paints are beyond beautiful and very magical. They are a a must have if you like granulation and colour separation.
