Nakagawa Kyoto Gansai Pigment Japanese Watercolor Set 24 Colors

For when twelve colors are good, but twenty-four possibilities sound considerably better.

Nakagawa's Kyoto gansai has a rich, distinctive character that can move from bold, almost gouache-like color to soft washes as you add water. The expanded palette gives you considerably more room to explore color straight from the box while still inviting mixing and experimentation.

Serious art material, pleasantly unserious barrier to entry. Add water, choose a color and begin.
