Japanese Professional Gouache Nicker Poster Color - 18 Color Set x 20ml
The Secret Behind Studio Ghibli's Backgrounds
Create your illustrations with the paint that defined the aesthetic of Japanese animation's greatest classics!
If you've ever been captivated by the lush green landscapes and vibrant skies of films like My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away or The Boy and the Heron, then you already know the power of Nicker Poster Colour. Produced in Japan with the same traditional formula for decades, this professional-quality gouache is the definitive choice of the legendary art directors of Studio Ghibli and the entire anime industry.
Unlike other paints, Nicker Poster Colour combines pure, high-density pigments with a binder of maximum quality pure gum arabic. The result is an incredibly opaque paint, with a velvety matte finish and unparalleled fluidity that allows for perfectly smooth color transitions (gradients).
Why is Nicker Poster Colour unique?
- The Legacy of Japanese Animation: It is the official standard of the animation industry for hand-painting backgrounds.
- Premium Gum Arabic Binder: Forget the chalky, brittle texture of school gouaches. Nicker's formula glides on paper like velvet.
- Unsurpassed Opacity and Coverage: Flat, matte, and glare-free colors, ideal for photography, scanning, and complementary digital illustration.
- Reactivatable Paint: Even after drying on the palette, just add a drop of water to reactivate the paint and continue painting, avoiding any waste.
- Total Versatility: It can be used pure for total opacity (design gouache style) or diluted with water to create transparent effects identical to watercolor.
Choose your Set:
- 12-Color Set (20ml Tubes): The essential basic palette. Perfect for students and artists who want to master color theory and create their own mixes from fundamental primary colors and earth tones.
- 18-Color Set (20ml Tubes): The ideal balance. Adds vibrant secondary tones and convenient colors widely used for vegetation and skies, speeding up the landscape painting process.
- 24-Color Set (20ml Tubes): The illustrators' favorite palette. Offers an expanded range that includes Nicker's famous luminous and fluorescent tones (such as the iconic Opera and Magenta), perfect for dramatic light effects.
- 36-Color Set (20ml Tubes): The complete professional experience. A magnificent collection with all the necessary transitional nuances for complex backgrounds, minimizing mixing time and ensuring tonal consistency in large projects.

Note on Nicker's lightfastness classification: The symbol (★★) indicates good/excellent stability under normal studio conditions, (★☆) indicates moderate resistance (with a tendency to fade in very thin layers or under direct sunlight), and (☆☆) represents fugitive colors that fade easily over time, historically maintained in the line due to their vibrancy for scanning and graphic reproduction purposes.
