Review: Much more affordable with no sacrifice in quality - A very cost effective set of watercolor paints. These provide clear, bright colors, essentially identical to high quality paints from Daniel Smith, Winsor Newton, etc. There is a generous amount of paint and they mix well. Why so inexpensive? Maybe they are more prone to fading over time? But they are a great way to get into professional watercolor painting using paints that are superior to the sets designed for kids and schools. I was introduced to them by a fine watercolor illustrator that does great work..
Review: Beautiful colors - I love these paints and will probably buy these from more on. The pigment and saturation is amazing. They really work well on nice quality paper. Love them.

## Features

- [18 Colors] Gansai is traditional Japanese watercolor, utilizing colors that are based off those seen in nature, meaning they are vivid and opaque. Pans are carefully filled with paint that is smooth, not granulated, and dries with a slight shiny finish.
- [Flexible Techniques] Paints do not leave hard edges when dry, making flat-washes easy to accomplish, and are easy to layer with proper technique.
- [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.
- [Palette and Color chart included] Within each Gansai Tambi set is a protective sheet that not only keeps your pans from shifting but can be used as a palette mixer. Each box also includes a color chart so you can swatch the colors yourself and distinguish between them quickly.
- [Beautiful Packaging, Ideal for Gift-giving] Water-based pigment is ACMI-certified, and packaged in a simple cardboard box with elegant green washi overlay. Perfect for gifts.
