How to buy authentic Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints in India?

Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints are imported directly from authorized US retailers and factory-sealed for authenticity. We ensure all customs duties and GST are included in the price, providing a transparent cost. Your order is shipped via ExpressBox tracked delivery, guaranteeing genuine products arrive safely.

Are these paints safe for children?

Yes, these paints are ACMI-certified non-toxic and made with water-based pigments, making them safe for children. However, due to small parts, adult supervision is recommended for children under 3 years old. They are not intended for consumption.

What surfaces can I use Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints on?

These paints are primarily recommended for use on paper, which is ideal for watercolor and gouache techniques. They can also be used on other absorbent surfaces suitable for water-based media.

How do Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints differ from traditional watercolors or gouache?

Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints offer versatility. They can be used like traditional watercolors when diluted with water, providing smooth washes. When used with less water, they behave like opaque gouache, offering rich, vivid tones with an elegant sheen and no harsh edges upon drying.

Are the pans full of paint?

The pans are generously sized to hold a substantial amount of paint, designed for extensive use. While some users perceive them as not completely 'full' to the brim, the quantity provided is substantial for the price and intended for professional and artistic applications.

Can I mix these paints with other brands?

While Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints are designed to be intermixable within their own range, mixing them with paints from different brands or mediums is not recommended. Doing so may affect the pigment quality, finish, and drying properties.

What is the shelf life of these paints?

These paints are formulated not to expire and can be used for an extended period when stored properly. Ensure the pans are dry after use and kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their quality.
