How to Make Color Shift Watercolors Tutorial

Learn how to make your own interior watercolor. The color changing water is simply amazing! They can be expensive and hard to find ... I know I've tried them!

I decided that the best way to find what I was looking for was to do it myself. It's hard to find a good indoor watercolor class, so this tutorial is my gift to you! This tutorial contains all the necessary tips and tricks, materials and procedures to create your own interior watercolor.

This is the process of making interior watercolors. It's not something I want to do in business.

I sold a few sets over the holidays to offset my expenses, but I have no plans to sell them again.

The color changes to a different color than the white card shown on the black card. White paper gives a simple patellar sheen effect. It's great to stack into other projects to add a nice shine.

On a black surface, the color of the water changes to a lighter metallic finish! As the paper moves in the sun, the colors change and dance. Every color I make is my favorite color! I have mentioned them all and I love to paint with them.

Start with watercolor. Fill the measuring cup with 1 cup of water ... not hot. Gently mix with 1/2 cup of baking soda. Gently slide to blend the lumps. Stir until all the lumps are blended. (I can still walk in the gauze if there are bumps, but I have no problem with the bumps)

Then add 1/5 cup of honey and mix well. Add 6 drops of clove oil as a preservative and it gives a good aroma!

Now the watercolor base is ready. If you don't use them all at once, you can keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Configure your workplace now. You will need a large glass cutting board. I only paint one spoonful at a time, so I used the glass cutting board listed in the accessories list. You need more space if you want to produce it in bulk.

Pour 1 tablespoon of baking powder onto the cutting board. See how purple with golden undertones is. This is the magic of color change!

This amount fills 4 1/2 cups for the first blend.

Then pour a pinch of mashed potatoes a pinch of water-based dye.

Then, use the palette knife tool to blend the color into the base. You will notice that there are small dust particles in the mixture. I used this dollar store padel spatula and it split in half. You will need an iron for this mix size.

After blending, you may need to add a little more watercolor base. The consistency should be like warm honey, thick but flowing.

This is where Muller needs you. I use flat bottom glass ... so check out your local thrift store to find the perfect shot glass that also works well.

Press the muller onto the watercolor mixture and mix. The glass on the surface shows dust on the base and no swelling when painted.

At this point, take the watercolor mixture with a spatula and pour it into the plastic mold. Then let it dry for two weeks.

As it dries, the water evaporates, leaving a compressed water color. But this time it only filled half the container. The long process is here.

Now repeat the mixing, filling and processing. The filling process usually requires 3-4 filters to maintain a good level. They are not perfect ... There are air bubbles here and there.

Once the water is dry, you can add a drop or two of water and start painting, spelling, calligraphy, watercolor, or highlighting.

I love the metal floor flash! Which color combination do you prefer?

I personally gave them all the names because I love to name them!

Starting from the top left row, right-

Ocean, Ice Crystal, Hibiscus, Caribbean, Orchid, Pearl, Coral, Lucky Dragon, Rose, Mermaid, Lilac, Pegasus, Gold, Peter, Witch, Copper, Pearl and Orchid ... Yes, there are more orchids and pearls than orchids . . another color.

I made 6 other colors and you can see them here and there in my sales.

And here are 21 colors that go together on black and white paper. My favorite color is definitely the Caribbean!

Some of the colors have a gorgeous golden hue!

After the paint has dried, it can be glued to an adhesive magnetic strip under the plate. This puts them in the box without moving.

Cover with watercolor if desired.

Now they are ready to sell, sell or make a profit!

I love the difference between white or black paper! The dye is easy to polish on black paper.
