Watercolor paint pan Gansai Tambi - Kuretake - Old Mauve

Kuretake Gansai Tambi are traditional, handmade Japanese watercolor paints, developed in collaboration with Japanese artists.

By keeping the number of components to a minimum, the paints have a very high concentration of pigment and an unparalleled, exceptionally smooth and creamy consistency. They dissolve perfectly and transfer extremely easily to the brush and then to paper. The production uses the traditional methods used in the production of Sumi bar inks, so the paints create beautiful ink-like blurs. The colors of the paints are intense and saturated, more opaque than their European or American counterparts. Gansai Tambi paints blend well and work great on dark paper. They will be perfect for a variety of water techniques, illustration, traditional sumi-e or etegami painting.

Gansai Tambi watercolor paints are vegan, meaning they do not contain honey or bovine bile. They are certified by ACMI AP (The Art and Creative Materials Institute), which means that they do not contain toxic ingredients and are safe for human body and health. Therefore, they can be used by children.
