This beautiful limited edition boxed set includes a fantastic collection of 100 Gansai Tambi watercolors. Individual pans are arranged inside 4 stacking wooden trays with a top cover that is embellished with ribbon, gold foil stamps, and designs of flowers commonly seen in Japanese paintings.
In addition to many classic color tones, this set also includes the specialty gem, opal, starry gold, and sumi palettes, as well as the popular color-shifting granulating tones for adding mesmerizing effects! You'll also find "Gofun White", a traditional color in original Japanese painting techniques. Gofun is a soft, transparent shade of white with a slighty warm tone, made from oyster shells that have been ground into a chalk.
This set also includes color chart pages for making your own swatches!
These watercolor pans measure 4.79 x 2.83 cm (containing 0.30oz / 9g of paint), which are slightly larger than other full pan sizes, allowing for easier use with larger brushes. Pans are made of plastic and feature the color name/number on the bottom.
The rich and intense colors of Gansai Tambi are handcrafted with professional-quality pigments. These fine-caliber watercolors are highly blendable, with a creamy-smooth consistency found only in traditional Japan. Their bold colors are lightfast to keep your art vivid over time.
They can be as opaque as gouache when used with little water. To achieve a more transparent effect, dilute the paints with water and blend until the desired consistency and opacity is reached.
Gansai Tambi watercolors are made by Kuretake in Japan.
