Lets try the Kuretake Gansai Tambi art nouveau set

In this video I’m trying out the Kuretake Gansai Tambi art nouveau set. This has been a hard pallet to find for the last few months but I was lucky enough to find one. I’ve been keen to try it as I already use Gansai paint and the colours looked like ones I already like to work with if you are invested in the pallet then try amazon as that’s where I managed to get mine.
I have been curious to try this set as I use Gansai quite regularly for my work and I have worked with kuretake Gansai a lot in the past. The colours in this set are inspired by the art nouveau movement and have an overall muted pastel look. Although this is probably not then best pallet for mixing, I thought it would be fun to try out.
I paint an illustration at the end to test and demo the paints. I also used and some coloured pencils.
Supplies used for the illustration are…
• Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI art nouveau set
• Choosing Keeping Retro Watercolour Set, 1970's
• ARCHES Watercolour Hot Pressed
• A mix of coloured pencils

wow - that painting is a real masterpiece! 🥰

[@sushanart]

An amazing drawing and painting! A beautiful version of Yin and Yang! 😇🩵🙏🙌

Very interesting to see these paints used in such a detailed way. My process of mark making intuitive art using them is completely different and very loose. It‘s such a versatile set of paints, it‘s a shame they are hard to find. I have heard they are expected back in stock in July. But the regular 48 set and 36 set of colors are easy enough to source, and are so interesting and vibrant to paint with, I do recommend them too.

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you so much! Yes, they are very handy paints to have I rely like them for layering but it’s nice how well they wash out. It would be nice to try them in a looser way one time mark making looks like allot of fun! Thanks for the recommendation I will have to have a look in to them! :)

[@DarquePinkPaper]

The painting is beautiful! I love how you layer colors, it makes everything so rich and vibrant. And yes, a video on using Dorland's wax would be very appreciated!

[@washedoutwyvern]

Aww thank you so much! I'll try and make a video about it soon! 😊

[@spktme]

I agree watching you protect your painting would be great! Beautiful work thanks for sharing! What brush do you use?

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you so much! ✨️😊

[@pupawupagus]

stunning! i’ve been struggling with these paints and you make it look so easy. also your attention to detail is amazing 🥰 one of the reasons i love watercolors so much is my attention to details is… lacking. i’m happy i found your video!

[@bertd6844]

You are the best watercolorest on KZbin. Hands down

[@washedoutwyvern]

Wow thank you!

[@kingaburger1118]

Absolutely gorgeous❤

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you! 😊

[@lilithblackwater309]

I love the whimsical music 😊. Watching this showed me so much about how to paint a picture 🎉 I struggle with when and how to paint things when they are in front or behind other things. I’m still a beginner and shading is very difficult for me. I’m so happy I found this video!

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you really glad you found the video helpful, have fun with your painting😀

[@keariewashburn4680]

Beautiful ❤

[@AcuarelawithBlanca]

Such beautiful art! Please share more!!

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you! I will soon 😊

[@gr8bayrn]

I love this. Meditative to watch. Thank you so much. I am very new to the watercolor world. Or the art world for that matter. So, I'm eager to absorb every bit of education you are willing to share. I look forward to seeing more from you. 🤗

[@CobraDove1111]

You find that music meditative, rather than wanting to scratch your own eyes out??

[@sarahberry3819]

Loved this!

[@arttulip100561]

Just got this, love it so much.

Thank you!

[@vamps_rock]

Beautiful paintig and helpful to showcase the paints. I've been humming and aahing about them for a while now. TFS 🙂

[@clairewalters8238]

You won't regret it I promise. I work in all mediums as I love to add irredddcent colours over the top of fairy & dragonfly. The inktense blocks came down on my Amazon in Australia to $77 so I snapped them up. As you would know the 72 pencil (outliner thats just a normal graphite pencil )well the blocks are sometimes go down in price and if activating them you will see that the blocks are actually has 72 blocks and it's a purple which is not in the pencil set. Thank you for your quick response to my query. I appreciated seeing you work using Gamsai, more to come I hope. Much love &virtual hugs* xxx from Perth Western Australia xxx

[@tammaraliberty]

I love your art. You should consider making a color book.

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you, Maybe one day!

[@digvag7648]

OMG, this painting is so beautiful 😍

[@marionbik2022]

Beautiful! I received some of these paints for my birthday. Looking forward to experimenting with them.

[@clairewalters8238]

Watching you do that painting was amazing and exceptional as well. What masking fluid were you using. Your precise brushwork was amazing and I watched and learned and liked and subbed. More please. I didn't realise initially you were adding masking fluid. I have the old 48 set of keritake Gamsai Tambi and I adore them. I love the shine & the almost instantaneous activation, especially when used thickly it is almost like gouache & I love that too. I also own the starry night and gem colours by them. I don't have your set or the opal colours but they are by far beautiful paint with rich colour rarther drying faded like normal watercolour usually does. Please make the video you suggested. I was enthralled at the way your hand dances when making the bird and bat. Amazing!!!! Much love & *Virtual hugs* from Perth Western Australia xxx Your newest sub ❤

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you so so much! The masking fluid is Pebeo drawing gum, I use a sculpting tool to apply it. I'm going to be working on that video soon, hopefully have it up next week. I'm still a bit slow! 😂

[@clairewalters8238]

@@washedoutwyvern do u have any laquers or gel (like mod podge) that gives a picture a shiny feel. I have the ranger glossy but I use it mainly for eyes as they pop from a page. I saw a YT channel and they couldn't remember the name as it had already been thrown away. I just want a glossy top coat for a few of my pictures? Sorry for asking too many questions.

[@clairewalters8238]

@@washedoutwyvern slow and steady wins the race. Especially when the mojo leaves you but your brain wants use pencils, paints, the fabulous Gamsai, plus my solitary STICKLES (still haven't used it,lol) plus pentel dual hynrids.The best colouring shifting glitter gel pens. I use a multimedia technique. Glad to have found you. Much love *virtual hugs* xxx

[@moxellex]

wonderful artwork !

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you :)

[@craftylady2019]

It's beautiful! And I do love how you did the background mottled colours around the endges too. It provides so much more depth than just a shadow.

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you so much!! ✨️

[@unicornist9979]

Watching your process literally made my heart beat faster, I love it!!! I’ve recently bought Gansai Tambi watercolor set, watching this made me wanna get right into it as soon as possible! Please keep up your amazing work 🥹🩵✨✊🏻🌈🦄

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you so much and i realy hope you have fun with your new paints!!

[@paulahillick4246]

beautiful work - thank you for sharing - would it be possible to mount your camera so it doesn't shake :)

[@washedoutwyvern]

Hello I have a new camera now which does not shake so much 😂

[@aquaecoloratum]

very enjoyable to watch! I am waiting for more. Just look for the camera, it is shaky a little bit. ;)

[@washedoutwyvern]

Sorry for the slow reply! Thanks for the feedback, I'm going to try and fix it but I have a very wobbly desk 😂

[@aquaecoloratum]

☺

[@Lightcode]

Would love to know what paper you were using that can stand up to the tape and not buckle with the amount of water used. I’m a heavy water user and always looking for a nice paper!

[@washedoutwyvern]

Hello! its arches hot press watercolour paper. I like it for final paintings because it can take a lot of layering, it’s a bit pricy but I think its worth a try if our looking for something sturdy. The cold press is good too if you like a more textured paper

[@anitadavidson1266]

Simply stunning!! Do you sell your work? 🖌🎨👩🏻‍🎨❤️

[@washedoutwyvern]

i have some things on Etsy but not alot, i need to start geting some prints made :) thanks for asking!

[@Stylvestre]

Your illustrations are stunning beyond words, you should illustrate children’s books, I’ll be your first customer! They’d also be great for Oracle/Tarot decks! Even your bird series could be used to make something smart like Bird field book for kids with cute snippets about each species, my 5 years old would go crazy with it! Heck, even just a printed poster of local birds, it’d sell like hot buns I’m sure!

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you so much!! Those are all grate suggestions! I would defiantly love to make a book one day, is one of my big goals in life. It’s so encouraging to know people would want to see something like that!

[@Barbara-fy8cs]

I got then from WET PAINT!

[@EugeniaLoli]

Lovely painting! Your IG and etsy links don't work btw.

[@washedoutwyvern]

Thank you so much! should be fixed now thanks for pointing it out!
