My wife is an amateur painter and these are her preferred brand of paints. Good value

they are brilliant

Lovely and fun to use. Not only are they granulating but each colour has a mixture of pigments so they appear to change colour. For example the Aurora Orange has green tones and the Aurora Blue has pink/peach tones.

Worth every penny, matches much more expensive brands. Delighted with it.

The media could not be loaded. The Kuratake Gansai Tambi Granulating Colours 5+1 Set is a testament to the beauty that lies within simplicity. Comprising five enchanting hues - aurora red, aurora pink, aurora orange, aurora blue, and aurora violet - along with one empty pan, this set invites artists into a world of mesmerising colours reminiscent of the Northern Lights.Upon first glance, the colours may seem indistinguishable in their pans, but don't let their modest appearance fool you. Once water and brush meet pigment, the true magic unfolds. The palette transforms into a symphony of dreamy hues, evoking the ethereal dance of the aurora borealis.What sets these colours apart is their granulating nature. As they mingle with water, intricate patterns emerge, reminiscent of the subtle shifts and swirls of light in the night sky. The reds and oranges reveal hints of green and speckles of complementary hues, creating a captivating visual feast.What truly astonishes is the visible separation of pigments as the paint dries. The result is a breathtaking display of texture and depth, leaving artists spellbound by the sheer beauty of the dried pigment. It's a phenomenon that defies description, leaving even the most articulate at a loss for words.While specific pigment information may be elusive, past experiences with Kuratake paints suggest a level of lightfastness that artists can trust. This, coupled with the sheer enchantment of the colours, makes the set a collector's dream.In a world where expectations often precede experiences, the Kuratake Gansai Tambi Granulating Colours 5+1 Set offers a welcome departure. Each stroke of the brush unveils a new realm of possibility, reminding artists that true beauty lies in the unexpected. It's a journey into the unknown, where every pigment tells a story, and every painting becomes a masterpiece.Ps: Let the paint dry naturally.

These paints look very similar in the pan but when mixed with water and applied to paper they split into different colours. They will make lovely backgrounds and I think they will have a use in floral and mystical studies.

Absolutely lovely set - great saturation and opacity when needed.

When I first opened these they all looked brownish. Once water (a lot of it) was added I could see these were different. The key is using very wet washes. As they dry you will see the colors and granulation appear. It makes them different to use but worth the effort. Beautiful. They are a bit pricey

Prodotto innovativo.Consente di ottenere effetti non solo di granulazione ma di separazione di colori diversi da ogni singolo godet.

The colours are beautiful and the layering and separation is excellent.

I watched many reviews on this product before purchasing. Overall, I'm happy, the key thing is to use LOTS of water. It won't get the extreme granulation if you don't. I suggest watch online videos.

I have never been able to enjoy watercolors because the colors just aren't as vibrant as I would like once they dry, but these are FANTASTIC! The colors are so beautiful. They were out of stock when I ordered them, and I had to wait three months to get them. Although they ARE worth the wait, I bought two more sets while they had them in stock. You will not be disappointed!
