Also, Becky the background music you use when you are painting is so dramatic and I love it. It makes me feel like I am watching a big budge adventure movie. Thanks for making me feel like I am at the cinema. :)

i have been looking at the Gansai colours, .. i just love how they look, and they seem to have a bit of a gloss to them which is interesting.. i love those blacks.. very pretty..

I really like the Boku-Undo paints. I've seen them in many other videos, and they didn't seem as impressive as they did in your video, so that's interesting. How fun that you did two paintings! Now I want to dig out my watercolors and do something with them and ignore all my other projects for a while. 😜 Maybe I'll do exactly that. Thanks for the inspiration to paint, Becky!

I am SO coming to visit you, when I next visit my family down in Melbourne!

A great review! I like your paintings. As always you handle colours very well.

So excited when I had the notification, I love your videos and loved these art supplies

I was just sitting here, painting my nails, and thinking 'I need a BTA fix' when I got the notification for this. You're my go-to for product demos/impressions/reviews and you showed these products wonderfully. 👍 I now have a crush on 'Cherry Blossom Pink'.

So lovely! That second layer on the background of both paintings really made them pop. I love those muted blacks, they’re such natural looking practical colors to have. By the way, I’m so happy you decided to draw a raven ahh!

I love the Boku-undo paints, I think they are neither watercolour or gouache, they are ink based! Whatever, they give great results used very spontaneously, and I use them differently to anything else, but they are good to use alongside other paints too. I really enjoy them, and the gansai paints, though I only have a tiny palette of them, and the gold metallic ones. They do interesting things and are fun, which is I think the best bit about them! Fun paintings, enjoy your voiceover too because you are so good natured and easy going in the way you discuss things.

enjoyed your video. Gidday to my fellow Aussie!.

Nice one Becky. Love to get my hands on those Boku Undo"s. I think the loose style really suited the flowers.

Oh my I really want to get this Boku Undo black/ink(?) set. I am in love. It would be my first gansai paint set. Glorious paintings as usual😍

I love the 12 set and the darker ones have a very nice granulating effect. I think both pieces turned out very nice and beautiful.

New Sub! I bought this new set tonight before I watched your video. I have the 48 color wood box set these will go great with. Next I'll get the new opal set. I really like these paints. Kremer pigments are my favorite though.

I’ve actually ordered the Kuretake 6 color set where they give you a free watercolor and brush pen. I’m very excited to them and because they are watercolor, no matter how dark the color is, where there is watercolor there is a way to create lighter colors.

Just so people know, this set and the original 12 set are both in the 48 set and Amazon has both 12 sets on sale right now.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed watching you paint and discuss what worked and what doesn’t. Mixing the colors from the other pallets was very helpful. I just bought the three same pallets. I saved money buying the 36 set and 12 set over the 48 set. That was a welcome surprise. I purchased mine from Carpe diem markers.

I paint with gouache, they are nothing like gouache. Gouache are kind of like painting with powdered pastel. Or colored dirt lol. The Gansai are their own thing. You can tell by the price they are not top quality paint. So the more expensive colors are going to have more filler in them. Just a fact of life. They are still nice paints and I enjoy them very much. Great video.

I think I like the black set more than the colours, but wow when they are put together, they really look fab. Your paintings look lovely. Thank you for doing this for us. Have to have that black set first, then save up for the others.

I’ve got a smaller set of this brand for a while but I still don’t have the confidence to start using them. Hopefully that’ll change in a bit as right now I’m preoccupied with my studies. I really like how you use them in your art!

You do “negative painting” so well. I haven’t mastered that one yet; I get completely confused trying to imagine images in the “negative” view.

Nice sharing,great video,thanks for sharing very nice❤️❤️..❤️❤️🙂👍..................👍👍beautiful👍👍.👍👍👍👍........👍.......🙂..........

Now that it’s 3 years later, which brand of Japanese sumi paints do you think are better? Kuretake or Boko Undo? I’d like to buy some

I have a set of these but I don’t like them🥺

Great review, Becky. I l enjoyed how you used both products. I have been considering buying a couple of the Etchr sketchbooks or paper pads. Have you done a review on them? Hmmm, I will have to check. If you haven't will you please consider doing one? Thanks. I would like to point out that the Boku Undo is made of ink and were originally meant to be used in Sumi e drawings and the gansai paints are sticky due to the binder used and were originally meant to be used as in the underpainting for a type of Japanese painting that I cannot pronounce or spell. The traditional uses for both mediums may lead to limits in what one can do with them if they are used like traditional western watercolor paints (Daniel Smith, DaVinci, QOR, M.Graham). Sadie saves the day has an excellent youtube video and blog post all about Gansai paints: www.sadiesavestheday.com/blog/2016/10/3/what-is-gansai-watercolor-101 FYI: I would love to see you use the Gansai paints and Boku Undo paints using the traditional paper used in Japan.
