  I respect your preference in these not being your cup of tea, but you sure did produce a beautiful result! I wonder if they have that graininess to mimic the pores in skin, or to look like a noise brush in a way, which can make for some interesting looking gradients and textured shadow transitions. I quite like your drawing and painting style. Followed to see how you do with paints you like a bit better.

  Kutetake paints ought NOT to be compared with others perhaps as they are totally different! I use these for what they are and it's a bit different a journey as compared to other well established brands like DS, etc...

  Funny how I’ve heard so many good things about these paints for a few years and now that I ordered 2 24 set and 1 12set I get recommendations from people who use these paints and say they don’t like them 😂 I have their graphite set and really loved it and am pretty sure still I’ll love them.

  These paints are best suited to traditional East Asian painting methods so try painting on rice paper.

  Loved this portrait. Just found your channel. I heard Gansai Tambi were originally designed for rice paper, as is customary in Japanese art ( woodblock printing or calligraphy, for example). I can see why they were also ot intended to be painted in layers, as some Japanese art prefers more flat washes. In any case, this was a fantastic portrait. I off to explore the rest of your back catalogue. You got a new sub!

  I had these paints on my wish list and was going to try them out. Now that you've mentioned they have animals hide glue, I've deleted them from my list. That's a big no. I'm Vegan.

  I've only just now discovered you and your art and I absolutely love it!  It seems like you're not active amy more and I wish I had found you when you were.  Whatever you're doing now, I hope you're enjoying it!  Now excuse me, I gotta go watch your entire catalog now lol
