Watercolor set Gansai Tambi Sumi - Kuretake - 6 colors

Kuretake Gansai Tambi Sumi Colors are the result of more than 120 years of experience in ink production.

These unique Gansai inks were created to render deep color tones that harken back to traditional sumi shades. Using carefully developed techniques and the knowledge gained over the years, a palette of six unique colors has been achieved that stand out for their intensity and depth. Kuretake Gansai Tambi Sumi Colors will allow you to discover new possibilities, opening the door to the world of traditional Japanese painting art.

The formula of Gansai Tambi Sumi Colors is based on carbon black, one of the ingredients of traditional sumi ink, which guarantees distinctive effects such as granulation, glossy finishes and beautiful dark shades. By combining carbon black and pigment, the inks create both deep and light tones, which helps create beautiful gradients. Adding more water can create a granular effect, while less water will achieve a glossy and rich finish.

These versatile paints are ideal for drawing, calligraphy, writing, illustration and many other artistic techniques.
