  • The Claim: To activate your discount, you must provide a clear photo of the damaged nib and your original order number to oops@yourstore.com.

A whole paint box in your pocket

Most travel palettes leave you to find a brush, water and something to draw with. Kuretake’s box packs the lot: paints, a mixing palette, a bottle of water, a brush and a pencil, in a case small enough for a coat pocket. Sketch, paint and close the lid.

Transparent, not gansai

Kuretake is best known for Gansai Tambi, its Japanese watercolour that sits opaquely on the page. These are different: transparent watercolours from Kuretake’s Fis range, made to be layered. Each wash lets the paper and the colour beneath glow through, and the colours keep their brightness when you mix them — good for layering, blending wet into wet and soft edges.

Honest Note:

The cakes are small — this is a sketching set, not a studio palette, and keen painters will use up favourite colours quickly. The brush and pencil are basic: they get you started, but many sketchers swap in their own water brush and pen. Transparent watercolour does not cover dark paper or hide mistakes the way Gansai Tambi does. Let wet paint dry before closing the lid.

Who is it For?

• Urban sketchers and travellers who want the smallest complete kit
• Journallers adding colour to a notebook
• Beginners who want everything for watercolour in one box
• A stocking filler for someone who draws
