Gansai Tambi Watercolor Pans

These traditional Japanese solid watercolor sets are great for both professional artists and crafters. The rich and intense colors of Gansai Tambi are handcrafted, professional-quality pigment inks. These high-caliber watercolors are blendable with a creamy-smooth feel that show up on dark paper. When dissolved thickly, it creates an opaque and powerful brushstroke, while when diluted with more water, you can enjoy a soft, watercolor-like brushstroke. Gansai refers to solid paint made by mixing pigments with glue or starch to fix the pigments to paper, then drying the mixture in a container. It is generally used in Japanese painting. Other art materials used in Japanese painting, such as mineral pigments made from crushed minerals or paints made from refined and dried soil, require the user to manually mix in glue or starch before use. In contrast, gansai already contains a binder, so it can be used simply by dissolving it in water. It can be easily used in Japanese painting, as well as in other types of painting and illustrations, much like watercolors. Sold as individual pans.
