- I received this lovely palette of Japanese gansai paints from Dominic for Christmas and this is the first time I've tried them! He ordered this set from Choosing Keeping, a unique stationery and art supplies shop in London. In this video I'll swatch each colour and share my thoughts on the colour selection and why I enjoy using these paints so much.

Thank you for calling the Kuretake paint rocks what they are, and not inks, watercolours or gouaches, as I usually see. Kuretake is a great brand with a wonderful quality, but if people starts comparing Gansai Tambi (Rocks of Colour) with other Western products, that wouldn't be fair for a japanese product quite different from other things. Sorry for this intervention, but as a Japan's lover, I couldn't stand without my own ķuretake (Give and Take). Kisses
My wallet: don't do it, don't do it
Me: *slowly adds this palette to my Amazon cart*
I can only apologise. 😂
I’m so pleased that you like the paints! 😊You’ve swatched them beautifully & I know that you will create wonderful wintry paintings with them! Thank you for sharing your creative experiments with us! ✨🎨👩🏻🎨💝✨😘 xxx
Thank you, art gifts are the best gifts! 🤗💝😘 xxx
pearfleur is basically managing my bank account at this point and i’m fully ok with it. 🌸👍💝

A late comment but oh my! I have been transported to stationery and art supply heaven 🤩😍. Natasha I love watching your videos and have just started my journey in watercolour and mixed media. I love your recommendations as well as your artwork and gentle calming process but this one for Choosing Keeping …… Wow! I live in Somerset but now want to go to London on the strength of losing myself in their beautiful shop after checking out their website. Thank you 🙏🏻😊🤗x
Thank you so much, Andrea! I'm glad that the videos are inspiring you. :) x
I love gansai paints, but I think just as much their beautiful boxes. I've never seen this set before, but I will be keeping a look out for it now :)
Its so satisfying watching you do those well to me perfect circle I think I'm going to start doing circle it looks so satisfying love it
Huge fan of your music choices
Thanks so much!
I'm in love with those colors! I bought the spring set from Choosing Keeping and now I think I need the winter set.. lol
All of the sets are so beautiful, aren't they? This is my first 'seasons' set but I do have the three smaller retro sets! Why are art supplies so addictive?!
I love your way of swatching these ❤
Wow! These colors are fabulous! ❤
Lots of good comments and I’m the first to give it a like? You’re the first person to swatch with circles instead of squares. A real surprise that works. These look like luscious easily rewetting paints. Thanks 🤩
Ah, no you're not the first! On some of my videos I've clicked the setting that says something like, "do not show the number of likes/dislikes". This means that people can still like or dislike it but they can't see the total number. You've made me curious now so I'm going to have a look in my dashboard to see how many it has...383 likes and 1 dislike so far! And yes, these paints are so juicy and creamy - lovely to work with! 🖤
Oh gosh I really should stop coming here. How do you do such perfect circles? Jelly Tots in gansai paint. Choosing Keeping my next obsession.
Ha, they do look like Jelly Tots! I have another Choosing Keeping video coming up soon. Unboxing an order containing several items and swatching even more paints! (Sorry)
I was thinking if she zooms out it would look like a new range of smarties. 🍡
This palette screams December and snow and lights and fun❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Beautiful colors. I love how your swatches look like a bunch of full moons. 🌝
Thanks Lisa! They do! :)
I think Choosing Keeping commissioned the themes of the sets they sell, I have all four of the saesonal Gansai sets,my favourite is the Atumn set, but the Spring set has some lovely colours. I love the idea of themed sets of colours, because they contain colours you may not have thought of yourself.All of the saesonal sets work well together and I work with all of them.The packaging of all the sets is also beautiful too.These paints have a richness that sets them apart from other watercolours.I think these are my now go to paints. I hope this set continues to inspire you. I found I loved the first themed set of these paints so much I had to get all the others and I'm really glad I did.I decided to get a set of chinese calligraphy brushes too, and they hold a lot of water/pigment which for how I paint is perfect. They are weighted in such a way that you hold them by the end to paint with them,for these paints they are the perfect brush. The way you swatch the colours in circles makes me think of those coloured dot paintings by Damien Hirst.
I agree - I thought the same thing! I love that these sets introduce particular colours that you may not have thought of using before, or considered combining. I would love to try all of the seasonal sets but I think I'll have to wait and save up for them. (I've spent a lot of money on art supplies over the past few months!). The calligraphy brushes sound interesting too. I have a couple of the Japanese watercolour paintbrushes from Choosing Keeping; they work really well with the natural pigment inks. Aaaahhhhh, so many nice things in that shop!
I received this palette as well….very nice. However I like your choice of pencils and palettes for the fall and winter better!
Aw, thanks Lynn!
Ohhh these a delicious range of colours! Your neat colour swatches are awesome, Natasha. Very satisfying watching you paint them ^_^
Thanks Laura! I enjoy swatching in this way. :) The colours are beautiful, aren't they?
I’m very impressed with your circles! 👌These colours look beautiful together, what a lovely gift! x
Thank you, Jess! They're a beautiful collection of colours. Very inspiring! x
I absolutely love this palette!! The colours are beautiful. Thanks for sharing ☺️
It is a gorgeous palette! Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment. :)
Wow! Such beautiful colors! I wish they weren’t so expensive, but it’s obvious why they are.
They unfortunately know who I am at this stage of my hoarding❤️🔥🥰
They look like Christmas ornaments! How lovely!
Beautiful! These are so appealing!
Beautiful colours and so skilfully and beautifully presented. Inspirational.
It's not the first time I hear about these watercolors, but I never really was interested in them. Well, this thing just changed, thanks to you! Hope the right people will see your videos and decide to offer you a nice sponsorship, because you freakin' deserve it!
I'm so pleased that the video has made you a little more interested in these paints! Thanks for your kind words. 🖤
Beautiful colours and so skilfully presented. Inspirational.
Ooh these colors!! So lovely 💜
They're beautiful, aren't they!
I haven't even watched it yet but I already liked the video because I know it was going to be great and was super excited to see the thumbnail video in my subscriptions! Going to get cozy now with a coffee and watch!
That's so lovely, thank you. 🖤 I hope that you enjoyed the swatching!
@@NatashaNewtonArt I'm definitely going to be saving up now for one of the seasons sets, they're so beautiful! Thank you for swatching!
I have all 4 sets and the packaging on them is TO DIE FOR😁😄😂😘
These colours are wonderful ❤️
Thanks Carly! It's a gorgeous palette. 🧡
Even your colour swatch looks perfect!
Ah, thanks Cassy! I sometimes think it would be fun to frame some of these. 🖤
Very lovely paints...
They really are!
Thank you for sharing. I almost bought a set of these paints sometime ago at Hobby Lobby, but took too long thinking 🤔 about them and they stopped carrying them. They looked wonderful in your swatches and you painted them beautifully it should be framed and hanging on the wall! I can’t wait to see your beautiful artwork you create using them. ~ Fran
Oh, that's a shame! I hope that you're able to get a set at some point as they're really lovely paints (as you can see!). Thanks Fran. :)
I have this set from Choosing Keeping❤️🔥🥰😍🥇
I’m back! I’m excited waiting for delivery of my first set of Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi 36 watercolors! I hope they are as nice as the paints you received. Thank you, again, for sharing these paints. I must say, Dominique was brilliant for getting this set for you. ~ Fran
Ha ha, he knows what I like! ;) I hope that your paints arrive soon and that you love using them as much as I do. Let me know how you get on!
Beautiful paints for a sketchbook or work that’s to be printed, but unfortunately very few have an acceptable lightfast rating for professional paintings to be hung on a wall.
Yes, one has to be very careful - some have good lightfastness and some don't. But as you say, they can be used in a sketchbook and they're such lovely paints! I love them.
I love the circles. I have 2 sets of these paints but have never seen a seasonal set. When I finally get set up to start painting again I think I'll be using them. I have a set of 36 plus the Gem Set of 6 iridescent colours. It's a shame they are not lightfast. I was a bit worried they might b e too much like gauache but you seem to use them as usual transparent water colour. Thanks for the video.
They're great because they can be used like watercolour or more opaque like gouache. Certain colours are lightfast and others aren't, so you'll have to do your own lightfast tests to be sure!
What beautiful colours!! I can’t wait to visit Choosing Keeping when eventually re opens!!!
What is the beautiful piano music you played at the beginning? Sounded like Chopin, but I’m not sure?! 😊
Hi Aimee! It's Nocturnal Daydream by Franz Gordon. I have a monthly subscription to Epidemic Sound and it's where most of the music in my videos comes from. :)
@@NatashaNewtonArt Wonderful, thank you Natasha. ☺️
Gawd, this is so restful xx thank you
You're so welcome, Debs! ♡
I realised recently I have all the sets of Gansai paints in my cache,all the season themed sets and retro themed sets and the tinted blacks set from Choosing Keeping,then from Amazon the large 48 colours set, the 6 golds set, the 6 pearlescent set and the six jewel colours metallic set. I'm keeping all of them because I love this paint (though I'm giving away all my other branded watercolours) because you can use it transparently like regular watercolour or more opaquely like gouache,so they are great for mixed media and on toned papers too even black.The boxes the ones from choosing keeping that the paints come in are so beautiful too,as is the box from the 48 set on Amazon.
Your stash of art supplies sounds epic! :)
@@NatashaNewtonArt Thank you,not really it's just built up a bit over the years that's all,My branded watercolours have found a new home with an artist friend.I think sometimes when we reorganise our studio space we think 'Oh my,I do have a lot of stuff!!!' But I must admitt watching youtube results a lot in me thinking about trying/getting new mediums and I do think there is a slight element of addiction when it comes to new paints,pencils etc! But I kept al the Gansai paints as I really love them especially the tinted blacks!!
@@avirtualcanvas7584 Ha ha, I know this feeling! But I think that when it's your work and your passion, it's natural to be curious about new supplies....so you buy them to try them out, and then before you know it, you have so much stuff!
@@NatashaNewtonArt It's so true!,but I've got a bit better at it,I tend to have a definaite idea in my mind for a painting or series of works and will buy new mediums for this. Like say Inktober this year, hence trying handmade ink from a shop on Etsy.I do think at the moment the fact I'm in recovery,means I'm indulging myself in new suplies a little more than normal!!! well that's my excuse!! ha ha
The colors look great but I am wondering what kind of animal glue is in those paints.
Can anyone compare gansai from choosing keeping and kuretake? No one do it huhu
Hi Natasha :) please can you tell me what paper your using here. I'm adding these watercolours to my wishlist for christmas :D
Hi Lari! I can't completely remember as this was a while ago, but I think it may have been the Aquarella paper from Choosing Keeping. :)
@@NatashaNewtonArt Thanks a tonne! :D
Are the choosing keeping gansai colour pan made of ceramic or plastic??
They're plastic!
Beautiful but way out of my price range, love the colours
Hi Natasha, I just managed to order the Kuratake Gansai Tambi “Art Nouveau” set ii - these colours all spoke to me and I feel hugely inspired to paint once they arrive. They are beautiful and I believe you would love the palette too, all colours are muted and I’d suggest looking at th-cam.com/video/TpWSXzO8Pr4/w-d-xo.html she does swatches of this palette - they are really hard to find but hopefully they get restocked soon, I wanted to tell you as I believe you will love the colours too ❤
