Glad you enjoyed it, Emi. Thanks for taking the time to watch. I take a lot of time testing, reviewing, and researching every product that I buy. So I'm glad all that effort can benefit someone else. Hope you can visit my channel again. Take care :)
I love your roses! I also admire how loosely you hold your brush. I seem to hold mine in a death grip. These paints look luscious. I will have to paint much more to justify adding to my Kurataki Set😂😂 Thanks Ginger. Hugs and blessings!
Oh my Marji! If only I'm not in pain right now, I'd do the happy dance. I'm soooooo ecstatic that you're here!!! Thank you! Thank you! Mucho, mucho, much! I'm glad you like the roses too. You know why I can't do a live video? Because in real life, while I'm painting, you'll here me say, "Yikes, what's this? What am I doing? Oh no, I don't know what to do. Yaba-daba yuperdoodles!" My kids laugh at me like I'm one crazy momma. And they say, "Mama, if your TH-cam subscribers only know how funny you are, no one will take you seriously." Yup... no one will ever think I can teach if half the time, I'm second-guessing myself too.... haha... That said, I'm glad the roses looked believable enough. :D
I hav e a question about the finish between these two brands. According to their websites, Kuretake Gansai Tambi uses animal glue and sugers as a binder, making it highly rewetable and gives the dried water colour on paper a glossy finish when applied thickly. Kissho on the other hand claims to use just fishglue as a binder, and I wonder if when dry and applied thickly on paper, it has a different shine or gloss to it. Have you noticed any differences? Aditionally, some water colours tneds to do granulation. Like Ultramarine blue. Do you see that happening with either brand? And if so, to what degree? Or do none of them granulate at all?
Thanks for your questions GaudiFanYAY. I'm no expert but I'll try to answer them based on what I've experienced. Both Kuretake and Kissho dry to a matte finish whenever I use them. At best, there's a satiny sheen but not overly shiny. Only the pearlescent and metallic colors give off a bit of gloss. I always top my watercolor paintings with a fixative then a gloss varnish to achieve that glossy sheen which I so love. I did notice a few grains showing up on the metallic colors of both brands. I assumed those were part of the formulation that allowed the gansai paints to look sparkly.
How I wish you'll do a video about papers best suited for watercolour, coloured pencil, for charcoal, and for markers for instance😉. I am a newbie artist here, wanna learn more on what's the best paper for a specific colouring materials. Thanks very much🙌😊
Oh wow! Thanks for the suggestion Redflutterby421. I actually had that in mind a long time ago. I even bought different types of paper to sample them. But for some reason, I didn't get to make the video. I guess I'll put that project in my to do list now. Thanks for letting me know. Yes, your video wish will come into this channel pretty soon.
In the meantime, if you want a paper comparison for sketchbooks, I do have one in the channel already. You can check this out ... th-cam.com/video/3_cT1uPFhnU/w-d-xo.html
@@GingerUmali yay! Looking forward to it and if I may add, wish you could also add videos about alternatives or less expensive papers to use for various colouring materials. (Most of the newbie artists just like me, don't have enough budget yet to purchase premiere brands of art materials🤦♀️🤷♀️😅😂) Thanks very much!
@@redflutterby521 Sure, I'll keep that in mind. I'll feature budget friendly supplies too. Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm always scouting for cheap materials too. A lot of the collage and mixed media canvas videos in this channel were built from household items that can be picked up from home.

Hi redflutterby421 ... I finally uploaded that paper video you requested. I hope you get to see it. And I hope the info is helpful for you too. Take care :)
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Finally a usable review of the two paints using the appropriate technique. (others' videos were horrible)
Thank you for that!

Thank you for this informative review. I have been considering both of these brands and this review gives some excellent points to consider.
I'm so glad the info here was helpful. Either brand you choose is great. I love gansai paints in general.

It pissed me off so much Kissoh is arranged “randomly”.. I can’t rearrange them because their names are on the box 😂
haha... I know what you mean! The OC side of me wanted to rearrange the paints too, but that would completely mess up my swatch.
