An impromptu video - started off playing with some of my new (to me) Daniel Smith iridescent and duochrome watercolors. Then, I decided to compare them to some other (similar?) watercolors from my stash - the Kuretaki Gansai Tambi Starry Colors, and the FineTec Pearl Colors. I compared them all on both white and black papers - what a difference!!! I was literally shocked to see how some of them popped on the black, when they were hardly visible on the white. Which brand is my favorite? You must watch to see. ;)

I know this is an old video but I'm hoping you've learned by now that the finetec likely wasn't as sparkly for you at first because those colors hadn't reconstituted with the water long enough. I get that the actual pigment won't show well on the white but the shine/sparkle should have still be there.

I found that she also didn't give the DS' a fair shot. They looked beyond over diluted.

The duochromes & interferences are a pigment medium. Just like with acrylic or nail polish, they do better with a base

Thank you!

Gypsy SnickerDoodle what do mean what is a base? I don't understand the purpose of these paints since watercolor painting is in white paper. Regular watercolor paints won't show up on black paper either.

@KimberlyCrick 6 лет назад

She means that they are meant to be painted over other colors, a base color. These paints look wonderful for highlights such as hummingbird feathers, dragonfly wings etc.

@@robynnbryar1977 - She means that they're meant for glazing. You put down a color -- like let's say brown, but brown looks dull in your painting, so to jazz it up you add a layer of bronze or copper gold on top to give it interest. It's like when you add a white coat of nail polish and then you add a second coat of holo to give your nail colr a rainbow effect. Make sense?

Tubes are always going to be more expensive than pans or pots, regardless of where you buy them, simply bc they have more product.

@VmaxRED1 3 года назад

If you dont sell it, go with finetec. Great values. DS is expensive due to light fastness, it rank with the highest but still not high enough in my opinion. These colors are very sensitive to light.

Thank you...I love metallic watercolor and you have been a great help 🤗

@dotalinadavis7557 5 лет назад

Why add water to the paint? Do one half straight up the other half diluted.

@NCangel815 3 года назад

It doesn't dilute it.. it reconstitutes it so that you can paint with it. In other words it reactivates the pigment so you can load it onto your brush.

@labaccident2010 3 года назад

Because it’s literally watercolor?

@paranoiarpincess Год назад

@@NCangel815and @labaccident2010 I think they meant the tube paint. You can use them right out of the tube for the most pigment payoff. It shows the extent of what the paint is capable of. She slso seems to overdilute her paint to an extent where it's no longer the creamy consistency that eirks best for pearlescent paint. Pearlescent works more like gouache, imo, than it does the more transparent watercolours.
