My Kuretake watercolour/gouache paints

I received a wonderful Christmas gift from my thoughtful brother Hamish and his wife Kaylee; a beautiful set of high quality Japanese gouache/watercolour paints. They are perfectly organised and in a leafy green tray box with gold foil embossed. The colours are so vibrant and it has given me a creative boost of energy. A shot of colour to the London grey winter!
