Sakura Color Set PW12 Setsuto 12 color poster color 30ml (japan import)

I have been using Sakura brand tempera paint for 40 years now! I can say it's better than gouache and the Sakura brand has a special lustre and quality that readily adheres on watercolour paper; best of all, colours easily blend together!

Lovely set of 12, 30ml poster colours giving high degree of opacity, and matt finish. I wish all the other 22 colours came in a set too, would have love to have them. Good buy, could take up to 3 weeks to deliver.

Fantastici poster paint . Se siete amanti dei dipinti paesaggistici di alcuni pittori moderni giapponesi questi fanno al caso vostro. Sono gli stessi che usano loro. Vengono usati anche per opere di design , architettura e cartelloni pubblicitari. Per la qualità che hanno il prezzo è bassissimo non hanno una certificazione astm ufficiale ( resistenza alla luce ) ma da vari test che ho visto su siti specializzati quasi tutti i colori sono altamente resistenti ai raggi uv /luce e non si scoloriscono o cambiano di tonalità se esposti alla luce solare . I colori hanno una consistenza cremosa, sono altamente coprenti e si mischiano bene tra di loro. Meglio però non esagerare con il bianco a meno di volere un aspetto un po gessoso . Ottimi , consigliati a tutti.

hochwertige, sehr schöne Farben

Excellent ❤️

The paints arrived quickly and nothing broken. Thank you!

Okay, so, these paints are fantastic. These are my first poster colors and I LOVE THEM. Since I can't compare them to other poster colors I'll describe them as compared to opaque watercolor and gouche. First of all, these paints are water-based and yet... they do not lift when layers of other color are applied over them. I mean it, they do not budge once dry. So you can apply light over dark and vice-versa. The opaqueness is wonderful and fresh from the little jars the color is brilliant after drying. If you paint like I do from a palette and make little dishes of color, some of the brilliance is lost as the paint hardens on a palette but it's still glorious when re-wetted. This is not like gouache at all. It's weird. I can thin the colors down to watercolor opacity and then layer them to gouache/acrylic opacity. I... I wish I could better describe these. OH, and because this isn't said on the box: You get a warm and a cool tone of each primary color, a pair of warm/cool greens, burnt sienna, a purple (more violet-like), and a black and white. All colors mix together very well. I added a chart on the colors and how they look. Not taking off a star but: I WANT TO BUY LOOSE COLORS! So that when I do eventually run out (though I doubt that) I can pick up my favorites from this company instead of re-buying a whole set.
