Gansai have a glossier finish than Western watercolours, especially in areas where they are applied generously.

Apply paint thickly for gouache-like colour, or thin with water for more transparent watercolour effects. Etegami is a perfect art form for beginners, requires no special talent and is guaranteed to be lots of fun!

You are such an incredible artist – I love seeing your work and I am constantly amazing how you do those dribbles and see such beautiful things that come out above those splotches (sorry – lol – I’m not saying any of that correctly).

Japanese watercolour - Gansai - is slightly more opaque and vivid water-based pigment when compared with traditional European watercolour, producing bold and vibrant gouache-like colour.

Another distinctive feature of gansai is its ability to be easily blended and layered, allowing artists to achieve smooth transitions and create delicate washes. p>These Kuretake-Gansai Tambi Watercolour Sets are filled with traditional Japanese watercolours for professional artists and crafters alike. I’ve used Gansai Tambi in the past, and already knew that I preferred using it on a harder surfaced, smooth paper.
