These traditional Japanese watercolors were designed for professional artists and crafters, but they can be enjoyed by novices and experts alike. The non-toxic, water-based paints are lightfast and ideal for sketching, illustration, sumi-e, cards, and more! Each watercolor block comes in an individual tray that can be removed from the palette during use. The underside of the box lid features a color chart that you can fill in yourself using the actual watercolors so that you can see exactly how they will appear when used.

I bought the set of 36...March 7, 2023Verified PurchaseI bought the set of 36 and, while I like the paints and palette size, the hues were a bit unsubtle for me. This set however is an evocative and tasteful set of colors. Although it is a beautiful palette by itself, I ended up swapping in a few colors from the first set and a couple of individual pans for a palette that suits my needs, but that's 18 from this set, 4 from the 36 and 2 individual pans. Very happy now.
Please note though that these are closer to gouache than watercolor, and dry with a gloss finish when applied thickly.12 people found this helpfulpgcauk -
