EDIT: While editing the video i was looking on amazon prices and i mistakenly put in the wrong link and price for the Winsor and Newton palette. It is in fact around 56 $ and not 33 $ and on their website it is around 74 Euros.
Hi guys!
Today i am putting to the test two of the most used watercolor palettes i've seen in the last years. The Kuretake Gansai Tambi 12 colors set and The Winsor and Newton 45 halfpans.
See how i play around with swatches and paint the same image using similar colors from the two palettes.
Let me know what are your thought on these two palettes and if you have used them

Great comparision, and I love your illustration. I think it is also important to note that the windsor is more transparent, and the kuretake builds up more opaque like gouache. With several layers (I usually find at 3 saturation layers) the kurateke develops a glossy sheen.

@AncaPoraIllustration 6 лет назад

+aartadventure thank you. Yes I did notice that the kuretake one becomes shiny after a few layers which I Don t really enjoy. But the I still like the fact that they are so vibrant.

@Shesvii 5 лет назад

Even if comparing the rewetabily, colour vibrancy or colour selection may be fair, the comparison itself is a bit odd. It's like comparing Holbein gouache and Liquitex acrylics. Winsor & Newton Cotman are student grade watercolour paints while Kuretake aren't watercolours, but japanese traditional gansai paints. This is important since the composition of gansai is very different from western watercolour composition (both when it comes to binder, fillers and pigments). Gansai paints aren't meant to be mixed and they aren't meant to be layered. Their consistency is more inky and shiny once they dry. The Kuretake ones are not lightfast which is a minus since Winsor & Newton offer a better lightfastness.

I see your point. To be honest i really wanted to see them perform next to each other. I was not saying they are dupes for each other at all. But they are two brands that are really popular among the artists community and even i was wondering which one to buy in the beginning .Even though i ended up buying both. So thank you for letting me know about the composition. I honestly didn''t know they are so different. However i just wanted to make a video putting them to the test side by side for people to see in case they were considering getting one over the other.

@Shesvii 5 лет назад

Anca Pora Illustration I understand why you wanted to make a video, and it's a good sincere video! :) My concern is the fact that people way too often think gansai paints are watercolours. Yes! They're absolutely different. Watercolours mainly consist on pigment, gum arabig, and/or honey and glycerin. If there's not honey added to them, they're vegan friendly. Gansai paints consist on pigment, sugar cane binder, fish or animal binders and other kind of glossy gelly substances that are usually taken from fishes. As you see, not vegan friendly at all.

Shesvii ... then why did the company described it as watercolor in amazon? I love how you did your comparison Anca. I got the point of Shesvii... I’m here wanting to see which to buy. Now, after reading this, I’m confused again which to get.

@irene1234 4 года назад

Thanks for the breakdown.

@softandcosy 2 года назад

@@elzieeduardo7868 i’m a bit late but kurerake is watercolour, but it’s traditional japanese watercolour, which is different from western ones (it’s traditionally used on washi paper and not used in layers, so it’s pretty easy to lift)

@MedaHalmaciu 6 лет назад

Have you tried the White Nights palette? I have tried lots of brands both student and professional grade, but in my book that one wins: price, quality, rewetability, dispersion, color variety, everything.

@melaniaberindea 6 лет назад

White Nights watercolours are great 😆😆 I simply adore them 💜💙

@AncaPoraIllustration 6 лет назад

+Meda Halmaciu I have not. So far the kuretake ones have really impressed me. And I have loads of watercolors for now. But maybe I will try them in the future. I have heard good things about them

@Fers_Ibarra 3 года назад

Las kuretake se utilizan bien diluídas con harta agua y se pueden hacer muchas capas, así no se levanta el pigmento, y a mi gusto, tienen una transparencia envidiable... Yo tengo algunas de las profesionales, sennelier, un set de las akademi schmincke, y las white nights (que son hermosas también), pero las kuretake tienen algo, su binder hace que queden sin ese toque opaco, son tan translúcida, hermosas, son las que más uso, luego las van Gogh y las white nights 🙂👌🏻

@ekisde7665 2 года назад

había visto la review de un chico de estas acuarelas y el mencionó que su consistencia cuando se mojan las pinturas es muy parecida a le del gouache en el sentido de que es bastante opaco y otra en la que una chica menciona que hay que esperar un tiempo considerable para esperar a que la pintura se seque y poder ponerle otra capa y esos comentarios me alejaron de la idea de comprarlos. estaba considerando entre comprarme estas, las white nights (que acá las vende mas caras de lo que deberían) y las mungyo, cual me podrías recomendar entre las 2 primeras opciones?

@bettybotello8991 10 дней назад

Yo encargue mi set de 48 y espero con ansias a que lleguen. Ya probaste las Mission Gold??? Para mi hasta ahorita son las mejores acuarelas que he probado. Aun mejor que las holbein.

@Loj0468 4 года назад

Very lovely work. But I hope you’ve discovered since you posted this video that the Kuretake set comes in a 48 pan size, too. So another check mark in the Kuretake column.

@AncaPoraIllustration 4 года назад

Yes i am actually aware :D that they have a 48 colors set. I just ordered this instead as i didn't need so many colors :D

@gabib.1780 3 года назад

Super, mulțumesc! I'm a beginner and have the kuretake 24 color pan. I love the color selection, it's as if they were made for botanical illustrations and the price is simply unbeatable by Windsor and newton, still I wonder why not so many people use them. Windsor and Newton seems to be the go-to for most watercolour artists. Am I missing something?

@AncaPoraIllustration 3 года назад

Thank you! I think winsor and newton is just easier to find in art supply stores rather then kuretake. And they are a more popular brand as well

@throughmyeyes9940 4 года назад

you did not make it clear that the Windsor and Newton were the Cotman version

@AncaPoraIllustration 4 года назад

Sorry about that. I will include it in the title

@davester1432 3 года назад

@@AncaPoraIllustration Well, one year later the title still doesn't sat Cotman. I was just going to ask when I saw this comment. But thank you for the video, it was just the information I was looking for. I am giving it a "like", title notwithstanding.

@ClioMako 5 лет назад

I currently have 2 sets of watercolours. A whimsical Soviet set, which apart from being ancient, is a bit tough to work with, due to how each colour behaves, and a W&N set. I have to say that the W&N is for the most part, hit or miss. Some colours feel much too transparent, other look almost identical to each other, others are opague enough to be mistaken for gouache. I think I might consider investing in a Kuretake set soon. Thanks for the review!

@AncaPoraIllustration 5 лет назад

The kuretake are relatively inexpensive and you can get the smaller set and just mix the colors. Winsor and Newton ones are good in my opinion and are more buildable. Where as the kuretake ones tend to become really shiny after 3 layers. So keep that in mind :d. It really depends on your personal preference

@selahr. 2 года назад

Helpful video and very helpful comments section. I just got both sets and was wondering what all the differences were. Now I feel much more informed and can make better decisions on which paints fit which projects better.

@AncaPoraIllustration 2 года назад

Can kuretake go on any watercolor brand paper

@AncaPoraIllustration 2 года назад

I don't see why not ☺️❤️

@omurortaovali3851 3 года назад

I think I disagree with your evaluation for most points because imho W&N checks all factors except for “price”. Kuretake pans are super shallow, just few brush strokes -as can be seen from your green Kuretake pan too- and you hit the pan’s bottom! They are hardly transparent which is a huge negative in my book. Despite the fact that there are far better watercolor brands and sets out there than W&N (especially than Cotman line), I think W&N wins this one. Thanks a lot for the video!

@hanastasiah2329 5 лет назад

Unluckily, we can not see the W&N result due to your other video preview

@師太滅絕 Год назад

It will be unfair to compare 12 colors vs 45...... (i know the youtuber comparing only 12 comparable one). There is a Kuretake 48 colors, maybe that is better.... (12 is too small a selection)

@AncaPoraIllustration Год назад

That is a fair point. However I wasn't comparing the colors to each other. I was talking more about how they work , the saturation and which one I personally prefer in terms of consistency and washes .
