Today I'm testing out the Kuretake Gansai Tambi set of 48 watercolors. Kuretake say that their paints activate immediately and don't need pre-wetting, and that they are opaque when used thickly and transparent when dilute. They also say that the colors are pure and highly concentrated. The set of 48 includes most of the traditional colors I look for in a range of watercolors plus some pretty pastels and metallics. And they are very inexpensive. So can they possibly really be that good? Well, yes, I think they are! And when you've watched the video I think you'll agree that none of us could have gone far wrong with these are our first set of paints!

About my brushes
I buy my favorite brushes from Drawell. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. www.drawell.co....
