Trying Japanese Watercolors for the First Time ✦ KURETAKE Watercolors

- I've been wanting to try the Japanese Kuretake watercolors for a long time and here we are! It's the first time I paint with them and I have found some differences with my typical watercolors. They have a different texture, finish and color selection, but I found the reason for it. Hope you now have a clear idea before deciding to buy a set :)

Have you already tried Kuretake watercolors? :)
Yes, I have the same set of colors as you do. I love them.
I do use them. I agree the colors are beautiful and I guess my set is bigger that includes sparkling light colors. I will look again for the English words but when I swatched I only saw the numbers. You are so very organized. Like your studio arrangement. Blessings,Cheral
Are these student grade paints?
@@janetjm4629 I would consider them more than the standard student grade quality. They are not extra fine thou, but they still perform very well and have unique features 🙂
I absolutely love these paints. I've been waiting months for the Art Nouveau set as it has been on backorder forever. I should get them any day. I'm very excited.
This was a very helpful video! I am a beginner, and just bought the "Art Nouveau" set, just because it is so beautiful. I loved watching you work with the colors; the semi-opacity and smooth layering reminds me of '40s and '50s illustrations from my childhood storybooks. Your mushrooms are so beautiful! 🙏🏻
Thank you a lot Carla ☺️ I really find this brand to be beginner friendly. The colors are easy to blend especially if you use a paper with cotton in it. Hope you’re enjoying the colors 💜
Very pretty results! I like that you demoed the paints, a lot of other channels mostly include swatches
This is the way I try new supplies. Swatches are not enough for me to understand if the paints work or not in my illustrations :)
Yes, I got the Kuretake watercolors for Christmas. They are completly different to any watercolors that I have ever worked with. The colors are smooth and so beautiful. With Kuretake watercolors I have found the perfect watercolors for me. Someone mentioned that one could remove the colors from the watercolorpaper. Well, yes and no. It depends on the watercolorpaper. By some watercolorpapers one can get the colors off the paper. By other watercolorpapers it is not possible at all. That is not important for me. Working with these watercolors is a dream and make lots of fun. Of course this is only my opinion 😊
So happy you found the perfect watercolors for you 🥰 this is the reason I tell people to try different art tools so that they can find the ones suitable for their needs. Every artist draw and paint in an unique way so it’s normal that some things work better for some and worse for others🙂
@@madalinartz exactly. For me the colors are the best thing that I could have ever hoped for. For someone else they might not work at all. Depending on the person. By the way - I enjoyed your video very much. Beautiful mushrooms!!! 😍😍
@@Sanne24able thank you so much🥰
I appreciate this general info. My in-laws gifted my 8 year old one of the even larger sets of these for her birthday just recently. While I generally hear a lot of good about them, it's nice to know that they aren't TOO difficult or particular in use and can be very flexible. We also discovered the benefits of taking the pans out for working with a particular color palette more conveniently and it looks like a lot of sites sell individual refill pans. So that actually makes me feel good about my kid using them, even if she goes a little heavy here and there.
That’s great to know ✨ lucky kid ☺️
Absolutely love this product and it’s colors, I’ve used them for a time and always recommend them! Thanks Karen Dirmish
I love them!
I found your channel through this video. I have a set of Japanese paints. I bought them years ago, but I’m exploring them now. I’m looking forward to learning more about watercolour painting from all types of paint from you.
So happy to read this 🌸 thank you and hope you’ll have lot of fun experimenting with watercolors again ☺️
Just received the Art Nouveau set for Mother’s Day and cannot wait to try them!! Thank you for this video! I have heard you need to use more water.
so happy for you, hope you'll enjoy them! :) I actually use a lot of water when painting with watercolor, so maybe this is the reason I didn't have issues using them for the first time :)
These are my favorite watercolor paints❣️
Thank you. This was helpful.
Sembrano molto interessanti!! I funghi sono stupendi 🥰
Just stunning
Thank you 🌸
I have been hesitant to buy more paint but have really been wanting to try these! I think now I will not hesitate. Just discovered your channel this morning and subscribed. Look forward to learning from you🙏Cathy from Montana
Hi Cathy and welcome 🌸 I think they’re really a good compromise between low quality cheap paints and very expensive paints. So you’ll not regret buying them ☺️
I first learned of these watercolors, via YT algo, yesterday. I have watched several artists praise their color range and simplified elegance that also describes Japanese culture. When I see the paint boxes packed with their lengths vertically, I was reminded, for some odd reason, of a grand piano. There are super fancy grand pianos that have been painted for the visual appeal sides. I strted wondering hat kind of music one might create is notes, themselves, were painted in the exact shades synthestates see them. This paints make me think such a project might be possible.
every art needs tools to be created and therefore watercolors may seem similar to a piano. These watercolors in particular have a nice appeal to artists since they're arranged in such harmonious way :)
My favorite watercolors
I love your drawings!❤
oh thank you 😳 so glad you like my art 💜
@@madalinartz 😘
Good video. Thank you
I am in the middle of doing a watercolor, mushroom painting. Already from your painting , I have gotten some cool ideas. I love the colors you have used and created in the mixes which is one of my favorite things to do Thank you. XOXOJANE
So happy it inspired you to paint mushrooms ☺️ me too I love mixing colors and creating new shades ✨
una artista italiana che bello! ❤❤❤ (il tuo inglese è fantastico, complimenti!)
grazie mille! sono felice che apprezzi lo sforzo 🙂 sto cercando di usare di più l'inglese come lingua nei video sia per migliorarlo che per raggiungere artisti anche al di fuori dell'Italia 🌸
@@madalinartz fai benissimo 🩷🩷🩷 ti seguo con piacere!
Great video! Would you mind sharing where you got your beautiful ceramic mixing palette? Much appreciated.
I bought it a while ago on Amazon, I managed to find it tho, here is the link: amzn.to/40s5wil ☺
@@madalinartz Thanks so much. I found it!
This watercolor set seems to be very good for nature painting. I love how those mushrooms came out. But I have a question regarding something that was said in the video. That they reflect japanese painting culture? Could you elaborate on that one? I'm really curious.
well, starting with the box that clearly reflects the Japanese aestetich. The color selection may vary from box to box, but they usually prefer colors linked to nature since the Japanese art culture is mainly based on natural elements. They also have a wide range of pastels unike most of European brands and this is due to their manga culture. I think every art brand reflects the art history of its own country.
@@madalinartz ah, I see, thank you very much
Wenn Sie diese Soestrene "Lippenstift "maler mögen dann sollten sie die Caran d'Ache Neocolor II ausprobieren. Sie sehen aus wie wachsmalstifte und sind in Papier gewickelt mit Abreiss Tabs. Die lassen sich noch besser vermalen. Die gibt es in 84 Farben und sind einzeln erhältlich und haben keine Plastik Verpackung. Gib es in 10, 15, 30, 40, und 84 in metall Dose. Die 15 mag ich für WE kurz Reisen.
AMAZING!!!
Me li hanno regalati tempo fa e li ho trovati molto interessanti. Anche se sono molto diversi dagli acquerelli tradizionali sono piacevoli molto semplici da usare. L’unica cosa che mi ha un po’ delusa é che alcuni colori non sono per niente resistenti alla luce e L ho notato nonostante li abbia usati solo su sketchbook quindi sempre chiusi 😞. Vederti usarli mi ha fatto tornare la voglia di riprenderli in mano. Sono felicissima di questa nuova serie di video e sono curiosa di vedere i prossimi. Crei sempre illustrazioni incantevoli 😍
Io ancora non ho sperimentato questo downside però ne ho sentito parlare.. come consistenza e resa sicuramente sono buoni e anche facili da usare per chi vuole qualcosa di immediato e colorato però sì non penso li userei per lavori commissionati. In questo sketchbook vanno più che bene ☺️ ti consiglio di provare a dipingere funghi, ti rilassa e non hai il pensiero di farli bene perché vengono bene da soli ☺️
@@madalinartz grazie mille si hai ragione credo che li userò proprio per dei bei funghetti del resto siamo nel periodo più fungoso quindi ci stanno benissimo 😊🍄😉
May I ask what you did the sketch with? 🙏
Sure! I usually use the col erase pencils from prismacolors 🙂
Li ho comprati anni fa, li uso solo per illustrazioni perché non li trovo trasparenti.
Costavano anche molto meno, o erano in offerta o forse non erano ancora conosciuti
Sì appunto tendono ad essere opachi per quello dico che sono a metà strada tra acquerelli e gouache e poi costano poco in confronto ad altri quindi sono un buon affare se si ha modo di impiegarli nelle illustrazioni ☺️🤍
How much it is??
I got a set off Amazon for around I think a little less then $40 awhile back
Carissima Madalina
Puoi fare i video anche in lingua italiana.
Complimenti per le tue meravigliose illustrazioni
Cari saluti
Angy
Ciao Angy, al momento riesco a fare solo un video a settimana e anche quello è molto impegnativo >.< Ho scelto l'inglese perché mi permette di raggiungere più persone anche al di fuori dell'Italia, però non appena yt me lo consente attivo sempre i sottotitoli anche in italiano (che spesso correggo manualmente). Su questo video al momento non sono disponibili, ma non appena lo saranno li attiverò e avviserò sui socials. Grazie per la comprensione :)
@@madalinartz
Grazie
Mi impegnerò a studiare l'inglese .Purtroppo ho studiato francese.
Buon proseguimento un abbraccio angy
@@madalinartz
ciao Madalina desidero farti una domanda velocissima.
Gli acquerelli di cui hai fatto il video sono ottimi?
Consigli di comprarli?
Grazie saluti angy
@@angeladilorenzo1791 questi non sono propriamente acquerelli come noi li intendiamo, sono un po' a metà via tra acquerelli e gouache perchè possono essere molto coprenti. Allo stesso tempo essendo giapponesi rispecchiano molto la loro cultura soprattutto per quando riguarda il packaging e la selezione colori. Ho sentito però che non sono molto resistenti alla luce perciò li consiglierei di più per esercizi e sketchbook o per lavori che non per forza devono durare nel tempo. Per il prezzo che hanno direi che sono ottimi a tal proposito :)
@@madalinartz
Grazie per il tuo preziosissimo consiglio
Un abbraccio angy
Maybe this wasn't an issue for you, but I dislike the shiny quality of Gansai Tambi paints when they are used with little water. They aren't shiny when diluted with lots of H2O. I like the art you created using them.
You're right! I've noticed this feature after using them a few times. Since I dilute the colors with a lot of water, they don't seem too much shiny. But when I do a lot of layers, I notice a sort of shiny film on the surface.
I think this is because they're not like standard watercolors and they have a different composition
