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 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.

I have the 48 set and the Art Neauveaux that were a fun change from my Daniel Smith, but the new KGT Granulating collection was the most fun! It doesn’t granulate in quite the same way as traditional watercolors but more “separates” and does it’s own magic overnight.

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 have to get the metallics. If they work as well as the paints, I will be thrilled.

Jeanette just found you on my timeline, just as im contemplating learning to water colour. Have subscribed! What paints would you recomm for a beginner please.? Have bought some from the local store which seem to be only a step up from the ones they would use in a school? I live in a regional area that doesnt have much in the was of art supplies etc. TYI

Glad you found me 😊. For beginners, I recommend these paints- Mungyo Professional half pan size watercolor set, tin case, integral mixing palette in lid, 48 colors - amzn.to/4acLZXQ They're great to start with, great quality for the price and you get 48 colored, including some metallics.

I think some of the effects are from your paper, the stratmore 400 series in your description is wood based not cotton and it takes the water differently, I believe the 500 series is cotton, just curious how the paints would perform on Arches paper. The quality of the paper makes a night and day difference in the performance of paint.

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.

Many thanks for this. I was just wondering if it's possible to use these Gansai paints and traditional watercolour paints in the same painting?

That's a great question. I haven't tried that yet and now wonder how they would interact with one another, too.

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

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!
