Are These BEST Watercolors for BEGINNERS? - Trying Kuretake Gansai Tambi
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- The MOST COMMON question I get from y'all... what watercolors are the BEST for someone just starting out? To be honest... I don't know. I have barely tried a fraction of the watercolors out there, but from what I've tried, Kuretakie Gansai Tambi are the best bang for your buck. They aren't the best, but they are better than most of the cheaper watercolors I've tried! They aren't perfect, but it's a good place to start!

Would you join this raccoon for lunch?! 🤔
Who wouldn't 😆
Yup
ye I would
No I think I would rather eat with horses
Yes

Got dang! It's sad how this is relatable 😢
Same

These gansai tambi paints are made more for calligraphy and sumi-e-like paintings. They don’t mix and layer like traditional watercolors. Also, the big differences is that these use glue-like binders as opposed to gum arabic.
Oh shoot that's not what I bought them for 😂😂😅
Thanks I was searching for this comment. I didn't know exactly the name of the paintings so...your comment is best compared of what I was going to say 😅
ZombieBread in my experience they do work well for normal watercolour painting, Just might be better for other stuff.
yes! Usually everything that says Gansai Tambi is also not vegan because they often times use rabbit skin glue but afaik exactly these actuallly are vegan. There was once a big debate about it.
However, these are NOT watercolorr paints in the understanding of the "western watercolor paints" we are used to and they aren't made to be used in that way. Therefore I think it's a very interresting thing to try, but not if one wants to use them for the known "classical" way of watercoloring outside of the asian area.
David Flanagan wow! Thx I did not know that! I was looking forward to order them and this gave me a lot of information about them! Thx!
They get "slimy" or "gloopy" because it's not a western watercolor where the binder is just gum Arabic, honey or glycerin. it uses a glue as well. the binder has an animal hide glue in it. That's why the texture is different from what your used to. They are great budget paints for any skill level!
That doesn't sound like good a paint to use, in my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
@@Gloomyraindrop I've used them before and they are pretty nice. The glue isn't sticky or anything as you paint. It's just a binding agent for the pigment. It does give a slight shine if you over layer it. It comes down to taste and budget.
@@Gloomyraindrop Its a different kind of paint. It is supposed to be that way, and they work perfectly fine. They aren't watercolor they are gansai. I found a video explaining it. I'm sure you could find it if you lookup watercolor vs. gansai.
Raven M they’re actually pretty great if you know how to work with them, I have them and really like them, but they are not light fast
OooooO your likes reached to 303
Kasey: I'd be surprised if you never had heard of them within the art community!
Me: Well Kasey, you'd be surprised how broke I am.
Edit: this comment haunts me now because everyone in the comments decided to argue when i made a very stupid self-depricating joke. If it makes any of you that decided to argue below happy I finally have enough money to check these out so please stop arguing please ;-;
oh dang
okay, I don't get this like can someone explain how hearing about a brand of watercolours has anything to do about being broke?
Thats exactly what I thought lol
PERIODDDDDDDDD.
Nona Is A Potato Art supplies are v expensive... Personally I only know about certain art supplies is bc I look them up when I’m looking for new ones.. So I kinda get where og coming from
Hey Kasey ! Actually , this set is "gansai" paint , and not watercolors. Watercolor is à mix between pigments and gum arabic basically but gansai is pigment + animal glue et and a lot of other things ! It's really different :3
Gansai is used for japanese traditional paintings , that's why the pans are so big , the traditional brushes must fit in them :3
I have seen a bunch of reviews of this same product and nobody mentioned that? Interesting to know
They are still considered watercolors... they’re just different from western watercolors.
@@katlecuyer4272 Gouache is just opaque watercolour and it's literally more like watercolour than gansai
These specific paints have been confirmed as being Vegan, they don't use animal hide glue or other animal based binders for this specific paint set.
You are the kind of person I want to be friends with. I love facts and stuff about art especially if it is interesting. Thanks😃
Kasey: "for some reason I want to paint this trash can purple"
Me: "probably because you think purple is trash"

13:30 That's because these paints aren't watercolours! They are actually gansai paints which are really similar to watercolour, except they layer a bit less and the binder is animal glue. That's why they were a bit sticky at times. I have tried these paints and have not been disappointed. I highly reccommend them and great video, Kasey, as always!
Wow.....WOOW........WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.......actually that makes a lot of sense
so it is not vegan?
chic flash nope, not vegan. But there are vegan brands! A lot of higher end(Schmincke Horadam, Sennelier, M. Graham etc) aren’t vegan, but their student paints can be. For example Schmincke Horadam aren’t, but Schmincke Akademie is
*correction, the binders are usually vegan(except the honey based ones) but the pigments are not. Technically Kuratake Gansai tambi aren’t even watercolour but Gansai, which is always based of pigment and glue usually animal hide glue
@@zaurxzx sakura koi watercolors are vegan and some of winsor and newton cotmans and pebeo fine watercolors too,arteza and prima marketing all vegan with good prices
+chic flash
I once read a bigger debate about it and as far as I remember this exact brand in fact does not use an animal glue and therefore is vegan. On the other hand they aren't "Gansai Tambi" in this case and are labeled wrong, what bothered the other half of people. I guess, if you are interrested in them, do your own research about them, there actually is a chance that these are vegan.
Just a FYI:These aren’t actually watercolors, they are gansai paints.They are made differently from traditional watercolors and are more opaque.They contain animal hide glue.They lift easy as well.
If they're more opaque that explains why there's a white paint in there.
these paints are actually a traditional japanese style watercolor. (you're like whats that mean?) Well, like there's Gouache and watercolor varieties, these paints are known as Gansai which is to say its a brand that was made to be paired with japanese made paper. (think caligraphy paper)
The pans are designed to be large so that japanese brushes can fit in them without damaging the bristles. As for the paint themselves, from what i've seen, they don't mix very well.
Also as for the textures of the paints, its probably just due to the pigment. Certain pigments disperse easily into binder than others. I think it has to do with how fine the pigment is, So the finer the pigment, the smoother the paint is, the courser the pigment, the bumpier it probably is. (that also leads me to think that the finer pigment pans probably have a little more binder so it may feel more gloopy)
I love these. And a little funny note; the bronze/gold smells like maple.
Me too 😘
Jasmine Delo MAPLE? THE CANADIANS ARE CALLING ME!!!!
omg it actually does! interesting, i never knew that lol
omg i thought i was the only one
Oh my god! They actually do!
Glue binding makes it different to draw traditional with them. They are perfect for handlettering and different technics. :3
I love these paints! Im using smaller set... 36 set definitely a lot and i'll feel overwhelmed. The paint is good if you like using lifting technique!!
Chu Chuu I almost bought a smaller set, then I decided to go for the 36 set just for the shimmers...
I've also got a smaller set! I love it, I don't feel limited by the smaller color selection and I've been using them for about a year now.
also, seeing the clean new ones really put mine to shame, they're a well-loved mess.
Right! I agree. These are the first decent watercolors I got as I'm a beginner, and they lift very well. That's why I love these ones but I think I'm not really getting the real "watercolor" experience with these ones.
Gansai (Japanese Watercolours) is different than traditional Western watercolours.
How so?
@@Stacy_SJA I would check out Sadie Saves Lives’s video called _What is Gansai | Watercolour 101_ because she explains it much better than I could. The short of it is the binders are different and the traditional applications are different - but seriously, her video is the best comprehensive source on the internet about it.
Also, you can use them in a more Western watercolour application but it works differently because of the natural of the materials used intended for traditional Japanese watercolour applications (very few layers - bold washes of colour and complimented heavily with ink). Again, watch the video, it will explain it better. I can’t even find the Wikipedia page for them anymore, which is strange, so yeah. Hope that helps!
@@SourEggz ok great! I’m definitely going to check them out. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain it to me. I’ll UA-cam that now 😄
@@SourEggz I got the Gansai set a few weeks ago.. and your comment helped so much! Just wanted to thank you again!
You’re right- they’re so much better when used without a bunch of layers. With the right brushes & technique, like a dagger or cat’s tongue , you can create amazing one brush stroke art pieces. And they’re perfect for inking over and under.
I bet they’re even better with the traditional brushes. So thank so much for the helpful comment!
@@Stacy_SJA Aw! This comment made my day! Thank you so much for the feedback! I love that you are enjoying your new paint set and I bet your artwork is beautiful!
Kasey: **draws a cute picture of a Raccoon**
Me: Kasey, why is there a chopped finger? KASEY, WHY IS THERE A CHOPPED FINGER-
Who put my fingies in the trash
Japanese watercolors are different from traditional western ones as they are intended for a different use and don't mix or layer as well. When it comes to affordable traditional style watercolors, I cant recommend st Petersburg Sonnet enough. I bought my set of 24 for about 15$ on ebay and absolutely gorgeous. Not chalky at slightest, super pigmented and transparent, spread beautifully in water. Ive been using them for years and I love them so much. Hope this helps ☺️
Oh my god, I didn't know that these watercolors are so cheap on amazon. In polish art shops these are like almost 60$ for 36 colors
I bought them for 75 euros and I feel RIPPED OFF
in this case, I'm sorry to say, yes you where ripped off! I mean I don't know what country you are from but in Germany you pay around 25-30€ for the set of 36
@@Tippel3 I bought them from a fancy art store in France cause I couldn't find them anywhere else and Amazon doesn't ship to my country so I was getting desperate lol
It depends on where you are - her in Oz pretty much the cheapest you can get the 36 colour set is over $60AUD. Its still a REALLY good price though for what they are and what the next cheapest price point for quality is like.
Amazon does have some great deals.
I've just looked these paints up and they're vegan and cruelty-free. I know this is often a concern for people who don't want to use Japanese paints because they often contain animal-derived ingredients. 😊
Don't trust everything you read online
I love you you draw cylindrical objects with a more triangle shape. It just works so well with how stylised your art already is!
I FULLY AGREE. I have a set of them and they are wonderful!!! It's one I recommend to my friends as well.
These paints are very nice but they are very different from watercolor (learned from experience since I own the set lol) they don't mix or layer well since they're not really made for that but You can still get lovely effects with them! Great video! ♥️
OMG - the severed finger cracked me up. Great illustration.
I have just got these watercolors for my birthday, and I had been almost afraid to use them. So cool that you decided to review these now!
Omg I was literally just setting the mood to draw with it, got my lemon green tea, laptop and snacks ready!!! Wow first time drawing with you!!! :O
Have fun drawing!
@@kithaw1686aww thank you that was a nice comment :>
wow sounds like a perfect environment to get some creating done.
Why am I obsessed with the stylized grocery bag?! It just looks so good?!
When Kasey called the raccoon "big bootied" I instantly thought of that picture where Bill Nye says "that raccoon has no business being that thicc" lol.
I love the detail and patience u put into our art
The answer is YES! I use these paints all the time and they work perfectly! I’ve been painting for a little over a year and I make some high level stuff. They are great and they last a long time. When I started I thought they sucked, but now that I know how to use watercolors, they are amazing. I even have some techniques that I can only use with Gansai paints like this. Totally worth the $36
"I'm surprised if you haven't seen these in the UA-cam artist's community"
But, you're like... The only art UA-camr I watch. The only others are Lavender Towne, Tennelle Flowers, and Nerdy Crafter, and none of them do water color often.
This is a compliment by the way.
I like you enough to watch you painting stuff. :)
Omg you have no idea how long i have wanted you to review them
During the drawing process, I loved the sound track!
I swear your art process is amazing idk why but I just enjoy watching your art “come to life” 😅
Doodle Date did the exact review.
Nice to hear Kasey has the same positive experience
💙💙
KEEP BEING AWESOME KASEY!LOVE YER VIDS
Omg this is literally crazy, I just got these watercolors last Friday 😱
NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN SOOO EARLY!
Love you and your vids sooo much Kasey!
Uhhh.... Like 7 hours late? Her comment was posted 8 hours ago

Icarus Falls your not early your on time
congrats, lol.
JUST CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL, OH GOD IM SO LUCKYYY
I saw beginner watercolors and clicked on immediately lol. I gotta use watercolor more tbh and you inspire me to try it out❤️❤️❤️
The Windsor and Newton 12-pan box is very good (around 10$) ! The only low point for me is the brown (that is a little chalky in my opinion) but you can always replace it!
I just ordered the watercolors after your review im just now getting into painting
I’ve been using these paints for about a year now and I absolutely adore them! Definitely would recommend.
I agree that these watercolors are the best for beginners! I’ve had my set for about a year and I love them.
Even though I’ve been watercoloring for two years I’ve learned the most using the gansai tambi set. ( and by watching these videos)
I swear your favorite part of getting a new watercolor set is swatching haha 😅
I never was this early ... love you 😍😘❤i am german but love your videos
I have the gansai since 2016 and I love them I use them in all my watercolor pieces and honestly I love their texture and how I can add a lot of water and it’s still thick 💕😍
That malachite colour no. 50 tho😍😍I am in luv with that colour just as much as your channel!
I have these watercolours and I would sometimes think.
" Hey... I wonder if Kasey Golden would review this. "
Also love your videos and you have been one of my role models for awhile now
((When I saw the thumbnail a instantly clicked it. ))
Kasey "Why would some throw away a picture of nature"
Me: why is there a finger in the trash!?
im so happy to see u posted about this. i now know my paper is what is causing the issue not the paints! i love them. they are my first set of pans" as i normally use tubed water color. i like that they arent traditional western style too! 🥰
Looks really promising! I want to try experimenting more with watercolors so I think I might get this for my birthday :D Thank you for making this video :)

Kasey: “How could they throw this beautiful picture away?”
Me: “WHY DA HECC IS DERE A FINGER”
140th like this is the earliest I’ve ever been and I’m so proud of myself(mostly because Kasey is my favorite UA-camr)
Can confirm they are absolutely amazing. I have been using them for nearly 2 years now. They are so pretty. My only complaints are they layer a bit weird and I have nearly ran out of white so multiple white pans in watercolor sets just in general would be so nice. Otherwise they are beautiful. Highly recommend.
I've been eyeing up these watercolors. I already have the gold and pastel ones. I think these are next on one of my art supply purchases. Thank you. :)
I literally just got these and I was about to ask if you could review them 🤣
The raccoon would eat all the food before I would even arrive so sure lol
I'm looking forward to watercolours,
And your the one who inspired me to do it
Love you
I love all you watercolour videos
Kasey: super focused on the Polaroid. “Why would they throw it away?”
Me: there’s a finger?! What is this person doing?
Is it just me or did anyone else notice that she forgot to paint the needle not he corner?
i have recently purchased these paints, did a swatch sheet also as well as using the lid.
the majority of the colors are more opaque and remind me alot of gouache. im enjoying using them, the box size is perfect, its smaller than my watercolor pallet. i am branching out from traditional paintings and painting a few abstracts and these paints have impressed me. ty for sharing your video. love your drawings.
Your videos really make me want to try watercolor. I love your style so much Kasey! ❤️
Kinda wish the painting towards the end was time-lapseyish but nevertheless still love your videos!
This is how many people LOVED her drawing
👇🏼
what a beautiful art supply
I was looking for new watercolors to step up from my old watercolors so thanks for the vid
but be aware that these would be more like a side step and not a step up from you point, they aren't western watercolors as you have now. They are Gansai paint, basically the asian way of watercolor, close but different and made for a different type of coloring. Also they are made with (animal) glue etc instead of your usual binders, that's what Kasey noticed when they would get slimy, gloppy or sticky
FINALLY I'm represented in SOMEONES art!
I'm trash ;-;
Odd Opal O O F
Get over yourself kid
She hit me with that *_Ayy Lmao_*
(It’s a meme from “Surreal Entertainment”)
These watercolors are really good! They’re the ones I use, and I’ve never had a problem with the watercolors themselves at all. They’re pretty cheap, and that exact set comes in smaller sets with less colors! I recommend starting off with the smallest set of you wanna just try them out
Thank you for reviewing these watercolors! I really appreciate an honest opinion opinion on beginner watercolors. Thanks Kasey! :D
When ever you say “stay golden” in the end card I think of “stay golden ponyboy” from the outsiders...
Wow, a throwback.
ants at the end are naruto running to area 51
Kuretake: writing for me to reference back to.
-They hate water/ lift easily
-They don’t stain
-Transparent first layer and opaque second layer works best
-They bloom like crazy with very obvious borders
-If worked with transparently, mixed media is the way to go, especially with colored pencil.
-Vibrant and saturated colors for that POP.
-If these paints dry on a smooth surface, you can peel them and put it back in the palette.
You’re so creative and inspiring 🌟
