Grumbacher Japanese Watercolor Sets

Grumbacher Japanese Watercolor pans are built on a time-honored Eastern formula — highly pigmented, brilliantly opaque, and made for painters who want real color that behaves. Apply them thick and creamy for rich bodycolor with a distinctive eggshell sheen that sets them apart from standard gouache. Thin them out in the pan's mixing well and they shift into luminous, translucent watercolor effects.

The formula lifts cleanly at any stage, so adding highlights or pulling back color is always an option. Blending is smooth and forgiving, with gradients that transition naturally without muddying.

Available in a 6pc Glimmer Set or 6pc Basic Set — both a solid starting point for Japanese watercolor technique, whether you're new to the medium or adding to an existing palette.
