A traditional, Japanese watercolor, developing colors that are based off of those seen in nature. Colors are vivid and opaque, and replaceable pans are carefully filled so paint is smooth, rather than granulated, and dries with a slight sheen. Unique technology allows for the development of pigment ink that leaves flat-washes easily, while remaining easy to blend. Gansai Tambi ink can be diluted to create a more watercolor-like picture, while still remaining bright and opaque, or can be used as a gauche by limiting water dilution. Ink dries with a slight sheen.
