Amazon Customer 5 I love this set and the other sets by Sumiundo as well. The colors are really beautiful and toned down but still well pigmented. They can be used thick or diluted out, just like watercolors. They also blend well and do not "cauliflower" easily. The final colors vary depending on the type of paper used. I like to use clear gesso to coat my paper for this, but normal watercolor paper might also work.
