Gansai Tambi Watercolors, Set of 100 in Wooden Box *New Colors*

S1675. Gansai Tambi Watercolors, Set of 100 in Wooden Box. Version 3 *NEW*

The rich and intense colors of Gansai Tambi are handcrafted, professional-quality pigment inks. These fine-caliber watercolors are highly blendable, with a creamy-smooth consistency found only in traditional Japan. These watercolors 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.

This stunning wood box set honors Kuretake's 120th anniversary. 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. It's perfect for calligraphy, brush lettering, illustrations, and more. Elegantly arranged in a four-tray stacking wood case and tied with classic green-gold Gansai Tambi elastic, your studio deserves this extraordinary and elegant limited-edition set.
