The Holbein Gansai 24 set builds on the same philosophy as the smaller set, offering a broader range of colors while maintaining the characteristic semi-opaque body of Gansai watercolors.
Compared to Western-style watercolors, Gansai paints deliver stronger coverage and a more compact consistency, making them ideal for flat color areas and expressive brushwork. They activate easily with water and can be used both opaque and diluted for lighter washes.
Each color comes in an individually removable pan, allowing flexible setup and comfortable use. The 24-color set follows the traditional Japanese Gansai color palette, providing a complete and versatile base for creative work.
