I really enjoy using these paints, but there are significant differences you should know before you consider purchasing these paints. They behave very differently than traditional watercolors. In this video I will explain the differences and demonstrate as I create this charming painting. I hope you find this information helpful.

I love my Kuretake paints more so than the traditional because of the vibrancy and resulting slightly glossy finish. I've also had great results with mixing and layering. It all depends on the individual, so I'm glad to see you encouraging experimentation as always!

Gansai paints are meant for Eastern style painting also, Chinese brush painting/Japanese sumi-e/Gong bi/Chinoiserie. Which is done in one layer on very thtin rice paper, no scrubbing, no lifting, no wet in wet, the techniques used for those styles of painting are different from Western watercolor techniques too. They work perfectly for what they were made for! I have many different brands besides the Kuretake and I love them all!

Very helpful video on the differences between traditional watercolor and Japanese paints. Your comments are very specific about the features and benefits of both. I started watercolor painting several years ago, bought almost every Daniel Smith color, then discovered Kuratake paints. i use the gold often, and love its creaminess. I just added the Kuratake art nouveau set to my metallics and find their colors really enhance watercolor paintings, from transparent washes to pops of opaque color. Now, with your video, I hope to have even more fun with all of my paints. Thank you!

I have all the Kuretake sets, and use them all the time. I don't have any issue with layering or mixing as many colours as I need. I don't find any limitations, as you can use more water & they act exactly like traditional watercolours...or no water and they are very similar to Gouache......so you have the best of both worlds. The more you use them, the more versatile you'll realise they are.

Western watercolor recipes often include glycerin, oxgall, honey, fillers so less pigment is needed, pigment enhancers, granulation enhancers and preservatives to alter viscosity or durability. Homemade watercolor recipes even say to include oxgall (animal hide product), glycerine and or honey. Granulation or flow additives as desired. Water color made only from pigment and gum Arabic is a lot more expensive. And even then, honey or oxgall (or oxgall substitute) is included.

Gangsai colors are more like gouache, they have beautiful luster, brilliant, strong hue.The colors are easy to dissolve, mix with each other, are very productive and are characterized by a particularly high brilliance and luminosity. The Gansai Tambi paint set is perhaps something between gouache and watercolor. They are all translucent and some are semi-opaque, others have an opaque quality. My experience: you can paint similar to acrylic paint. It can hardly make more transparent layers because the paint looks like painted gouache. But you'll love these colors! metallics...too

I agree about the paper. I only use 100% cotton for my traditional watercolor. I tried both and like the look on wood based paper best...just my preference.

I'm glad the information on their site put your mind at ease.

Not a fan myself. Especially when used on arches.

I didn't like it on 100% cotton either. I prefer them on smooth, inexpensive paper.

I wish I had seen this before I bought them. I am not a fan of this brand.

I think if you buy them without knowing about them, you may not like them. I've made that mistake with other art related products. Now I research everything before I click that "buy now" button. Art supplies are too expensive!
