## Description

desertcart.com: Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor Paint Set, 18 Colors, Made in Japan | 18 vivid opaque colors, non-granulating pigment, large pans, palette & color chart, Professional Use, Artist Grade : Arts, Crafts & Sewing

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: Vivid colors, creamy feel, excellent opacity. - I love, love, love these paints! Vivid colors, creamy feel, excellent opacity. Worth every penny!
