Hey artists! Hope you enjoyed this video. I wanted to clarify (since in the video I talk about these as if they were gouache)- the Kuretake paints and other traditional Japanese watercolor paints behave, in my opinion like a hybrid of watercolor and gouache. In fact, I prefer these to traditional gouache because I can still get that lovely gouache creamy opaque consistency but without the crumbling and drying up poured gouache paint tends to do. So to clarify, these are labeled as watercolors but their formulation and performance feels like a hybrid paint. Enjoy!

Kuretake has a PDF of all their colors and pigment information on their website. I actually just downloaded it today. 😊

I finally got this particular set, and I absolutely love it and agree with pretty much everything you’ve said here. I think it is almost perfect for a stand alone landscape set (of course that is dependent on the particular landscapes in question but it would work in a lot of places.) I agree with your assessment of missing colors and would probably supplement with pans from my set of 48, or maybe another brand or Neocolor II. It is great because nature is usually more muted than the colors in an assorted set, and this set is curated with built-in harmony and some very natural-looking colors. You could easily use it for landscape sketches with virtually no mixing. I see in your pinned comment that you mention that they give you the creamy opaque consistency of gouache without the crumbling and drying you get with poured (dried) gouache, and that is so true. The only thing I would add is that it does have kind of a satin or even glossy sheen, especially if you have an area where the color is thicker/pooled. But, it appears to me that with the change of binder (apparently a new vegan binder in the new sets) it dries slightly less glossy than do my older (set of 48) paints. I’m planning to bring this on vacation with me this summer.

Glad you enjoyed and thank you for sharing your thoughts! It would be a lovely set for a holiday! Do you find the box it comes in suitable for travel?

@@iritlandgraf I think the set of 24 should work well in many situations, but the set of 48 is very cumbersome (I have tried it before.) I will put a band around the box to keep it closed (and have thought about using little rubbery glue dots to hold in each pan - glue dots hold well but can be removed when needed.) It would be somewhat difficult to use while hiking or something like that but there will be situations where I can set it on a table, or on the ground next to me.

It was really interesting to see how the paints behaved in a loose style painting! And the closeups at the end did a great job of showcasing the texture of them! Thanks so much for sharing!

The color palette is a little like what you'd choose in fabrics for a quilt. You have the basic background colors plus some contrast and spark. But it isn't for everyone. I've proudly resisted it ::pats self on back::. It definitely works for your style of painting. I'm so glad you showed us your experiment. Wishing you and your family well. Hope everyone is okay.

That's a shame but it is relatively new, so maybe in the future. I'd try contacting a local art store and see if they can source it perhaps?

Hello, Irit ❤ Your painting style and Kuretake colors are beautiful . I own some Kuretake sets and I really like them, but I have heard the lightfastness is not the best and I know they don’t disclose any pigment information. I am wondering what your thoughts are on this. I have a tendency to use mostly Holbein and Daniel Smith watercolors and gouache. I was thinking about buying the Nouveau Kuretake set but have been on the fence about it. Any feedback would be appreciated ❤️

@iritlandgraf 10 ай бұрын

Hi! I admit I don't worry too much about light fastness. I use mostly artist grade supplies and I see well known artists doing the same and using also fugitive pigments like fluorescent colors. If you sell your artwork for premium prices I would do some independent testing, just paint some swatches, cut in half and hang them on your window that gets direct sunlight for several months and then check (keep the other half in a drawer far from light). I've done that and got rid of some pigments that were truly fugitive and faded to nothing. But if I didn't see a major change (I tested for example my beloved Holbein Bright Rose) it's good enough for me. Of course if you scan your work or paint in a sketchbook, or just as a hobby for yourself, I wouldn't spend a second worrying about light fastness. My two cents 😊

@janinawiegratz8464 10 ай бұрын

Thank you for a great video and insight - as always! I personally had to buy it when it came out because of..... everything you said plus the set is muted enough for me. For me a dark muted purple (Tundra Violet) plus a warm blue and it's perfect for playing and having fun 🎉

@iritlandgraf 10 ай бұрын

Tundra violet is indeed a great addition to this set. Glad you're enjoying it as well!

Ich bin totaler Fan von diesen Pinseln! Liebe sie! Würdest du diese Farben einem Anfänger empfehlen?

@iritlandgraf 10 ай бұрын

Hallo! I würde nein sagen... The colors are very specific, not super versatile like the basic Kuretake sets. As for the paint itself, it is very creamy so I think a beginner might find them hard to control. I'm guessing you're in Germany/Austria. If you're just starting out and have no watercolors at all I'd pick up a set of Lukas paints and start from there 😊 hope that helps!

@@iritlandgraf Thank you for answering, Irit. You are right, I'm from Germany. Will have a look for the Lukas colors and try.
