Kuretake Gansai Tambi Granulating Colors 3 Watercolor Set – 5 + 1 Pan

Granulating watercolours create effects that are difficult to reproduce with a conventional flat colour. As the pigments separate, they can produce shifts in colour and texture within a single wash, adding visual variation to backgrounds, landscapes, natural forms and atmospheric studies.

The compact pan format makes this set easy to add to an existing Gansai Tambi palette or carry for sketching and travel. Using more water and allowing the colours to separate on the palette before application can further emphasise the granulating effect.

It is a set of Gansai Tambi solid watercolours formulated to create colour-separation and granulating effects.

How many pans are included in the set?
The set contains five granulating colours plus one additional pan.

What does granulation mean in watercolour?
Granulation occurs when colour components separate and settle differently as the paint dries, creating visible variations in colour and texture.

How do I activate Gansai Tambi granulating colours?
Wet the pan with a brush and use water to pick up the colour, just like other solid watercolours.

How can I make the granulating effect more visible?
Using plenty of water and allowing the colours to separate before applying them can help emphasise the granulating effect.

Does the granulation effect depend on the paper?
Yes. The appearance of colour separation and granulation can vary according to the type and surface of the paper used.

What can I paint with granulating Gansai Tambi colours?
They are useful for landscapes, skies, rocks, botanical subjects, atmospheric washes, illustration and experimental watercolour work.
