I have been making metallic watercolors for a while and selling them across the EU countries. However, I received couple of requests on the making of these paints. Here, in this video, I would help you through what you'll need, tools you can use, simple pointers to watch out for and have fun making your favorite watercolors.

I recommend using the wet into dry method to avoid lumps. Pour in the water little by little into the powder while you stir.

Yeah, make a slurry then it will gradually thin out as you add the water. Applies to the kitchen as well, as I make roux and gravy like that too, lol

I always liked the look of metallic watercolours because of how shiny and thick they look. But I wonder if can eyeshadows also be used for it since it's made of mica and pigment? Tyty :)

@GlossyLipsArt Год назад

Just thought of it too since i have many palettes i cant use due to allergies 😅 i would say it works since ive also used it to color resin before. It just takes a little while to get the pressed pigments lose again. If youre trying to make your own watercolors and when you have eyeshadows you dont use you should give it a try 🤷🏼‍♀️

Can I ask how you measure out the 5 grams of pigment powder? Do you use a digital food scale to weigh or a measuring spoon? If a measuring spoon which increment is 5 grams? Would it be one quarter (¹/4 teaspoon)? Do you ship to the USA on Etsy? I would love to try your paints. They look gorgeous. Also when you go to refill the pans for the second time after they had time to cure and dry do you have to make a whole new batch again for the second pour? Thanks for your help.

@crafterine 3 года назад

I get small mini sachets of mica powder, each of 5g. You can use those tiny and precise weighing scale for smaller quantities too. I haven't really done a teaspoon measurement since each pigment has a different density :). Thank you so much for checking out my shop. At the moment, I ship only within Europe, but worldwide shipping is in my to-do list :). While filling in for the next layer, sometimes I use the Pigment that I have leftover, for earth Pigments, I would mull them fresh again for topping the pans ☺️. I hope this helps

@GcOGc01981 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. If you don't get out all the big particles of pigment would they act as granulation?

@crafterine 10 месяцев назад

Unfortunately granulation doesn’t work this way. Mulling helps break down the pigment and it’s essential to get smooth paint out of it (or the artist who paints with it would find pigment breaking out on the canvas). However, granulation is a property of the pigment itself. Some granulate and some don’t (no matter how long you mull or not mull). I hope it makes sense 😅

Thanks was not sure about how the granulation works or why all the mulling. Thank you so much. @@crafterine

That's a really good question. If you are starting out , I would suggest to try swatching the paint once you're done with the mulling.

is it okay to do the other way around, gum arabic then add portions of water?

@crafterine 3 года назад

Which powder?

@sherifahalsayegh5648 2 года назад

Could I use ready gum arabic? I cannot get the powder form here in my country!

@crafterine 2 года назад

Absolutely! It works perfect too. You may need to vary the water to gum arabic proportion based on the thickness though. I personally haven't tried it, sorry I am not of much help here :(

Hello! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I just started making my own watercolors, they looked dry (I kept them for 2/3 days to dry, then I put them in a closed glass container). After a while they started to soften again (even the ones I've done about a month ago), as if they had either absorbed moisture or perhaps the innermost layers were oozing. Has it ever happened? Where and how can I store them to keep them dry? Thank you!

The texture and hardness of the paint can depend on the amount of honey (and maybe glycerin. Honey and glycerin tend to attract moister) you put in, if you add honey into the paint (not the honey included in the binder) it tends to stay more wet. For storing I would recommend some type of box with air flow or one that is not completely sealed off
