Product Overview

As an artist and a professional product reviewer, I had the pleasure of trying out the Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI New 24 Color Set II Art Nouveau . This set is a great addition to any artist s collection, giving them many options for creating beautiful illustrations and artworks.

Kuretake Co., Ltd. was founded in 1902, and this year they are celebrating their 120th anniversary by introducing the Art Nouveau tastes into Gansai Tambi new set. The concept is based on the European trend of that time period, with carefully chosen colors that can be used to create a wide range of illustrations.

The unique technology used in this set allows for the development of pigment ink that leaves flat washes easily, while still being easy to blend. The Gansai Tambi ink can be diluted to create a watercolor like picture, but still remain bright and opaque, or can be used as a gouache by limiting water dilution. When the ink dries it has a slight sheen to it which makes your artwork look even more beautiful.

The pans are also much larger than typical watercolor pans, making it easy for you to use both small and large brushes with ease. This makes it great for those who want to be able to work with both fine details and larger areas of color at the same time. It also comes packaged in a simple cardboard box with an elegant green washi overlay, so it will make a wonderful gift too!

Overall I had an excellent experience using this product and would definitely recommend it to any artist or crafter who is looking for an affordable way to add some vibrant colors to their artwork. Thanks to its unique technology and larger pans, it s easy for both beginners and professionals alike to get great results quickly and effortlessly. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a high quality watercolor set that won t break their budget!
