The KURETAKE GANSAI TAMBI 12 Colour Set II is a traditional Japanese water-based pigment paint set designed for professional artists and crafters. These solid pan colours offer rich, vivid pigment and can be diluted with water for softer, transparent watercolour effects.
Ideal for sketching, illustration, sumi-e, calligraphy, and mixed media, these versatile paints dissolve smoothly and allow for expressive mark-making and beautiful tonal control. Made in Japan by Kuretake, the set reflects the brand’s long-standing expertise in traditional pigment production.

It was recommended to me by someone and having used Arches I found it was a good cheaper alternative. It worked well with granulating paints.

I bought this brush some time ago based on a recommendation from someone— can't remember who though. I then forgot about it until I received a request to write a review from The Southbank Art Company. I've now tried it, and I've found it to be a lovely brush to use. It lays down the paint beautifully. It also holds a lot of paint enabling continued use without having to return to the palette so often. The point of the brush is good too, giving a lovely narrow lines where necessary.
I'll continue to use this brush, and will probably look at buying other sizes too.

Just had my Phil Thomas painting framed here. The framing quality is outstanding, it looks amazing.

Great experience. The staff were really kind, you can tell they genuinely care about creativity and the people walking in the door. It made the whole experience feel that much more personal. My order came to less than it would have cost from Winsor & Newton directly, which made it possible to get everything I needed without compromising on quality. Great selection, thoughtful service, and a warm atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!
