Gansai Tambi is Kuretake's traditional Japanese pan watercolour range, now 20 years old and built on more than a century of the company's sumi ink-making history. The paints dissolve quickly in water and lift cleanly, which is what makes them so different from Western watercolour in feel.
The 18-colour set adds six further tones to the core 12, widening the palette into deeper earths and additional greens and blues. A practical working set for anyone who prefers to pick colours directly from the pan rather than mixing constantly.
- 18 pigment-based pan watercolours
- Large 48mm x 28mm pans, sized for full brushes
- Lightfast at working strength
- Handles both sumi-e and Western watercolour use
- Made in Nara, Japan
