Kuretake Gansai Tambi Pastel Watercolours – Set of 12 Colours

A pastel watercolour palette gives you access to softer colour relationships without having to create every light shade by diluting stronger colours. These colours can be useful for gentle backgrounds, decorative elements, botanical subjects, lettering and illustrations with a lighter visual character.

The solid-pan format also makes the set easy to carry and use alongside a regular Gansai Tambi palette. It works well for sketchbooks, journaling, workshops and travel painting where a compact selection of pastel colours is useful.
