Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors are handcrafted, professional-quality Japanese watercolors that feature pigment blends that granulate intensely when mixed with water. The colors are rich and intense, and exhibit greater opacity than European or American watercolors in traditional Japanese style. Use as a gouache or mix in water to create the transparency of a watercolor.
Each color contains several different pigments with different characteristics, so that when they're applied to wet paper, they naturally separate and form unique patterns and color variations.
This 5 color set includes Aurora Violet, Aurora Blue, Aurora Orange, Aurora Pink, and Aurora Red. An empty Gansai Tambi pan is included, try using this pan to mix your colors with water, which enhances the granulating effects.
