I’m sure we’ve all faced the dilemma of balancing creativity with consumption! When I saw the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors online, I couldn’t resist giving them a try. I was so glad I did because they have been an absolute game-changer for me! They have saved me years of struggling and I believe they can do the same for any beginner. They also have the added benefit of being able to be used on less expensive paper, making them more economical in the long run than traditional paints. All in all, I just couldn’t be happier with my new Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors!

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. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
