How to Make Color Shift Watercolors Tutorial

Find out how to make a homemade watercolor. The color changing watercolors look great. They can be expensive և hard to get...I know I've tried.

I decided what I really needed to do was learn how to do it right. It's hard to find a good DIY watercolor tutorial, so this tutorial is my giveaway. This tutorial covers all the tips, tricks, materials, and processes needed to create your own watercolor.

Making a homemade watercolor is a PROCESS. That's not what I want to do with my business.

I sold a bunch of it on vacation to cover expenses, but I'm not going to sell it anymore.

Colors that change color look different on white paper than on paper. The white paper gives a slight pastel shine effect. Perfect for adding the prettiest shine to the layering of other designs.

Watercolors transfer to the more active metallic finish on SA surfaces. By moving the paper under the light, the colors change and dance. All the colors I do are my favorites. I called everyone և I love drawing with them.

He was left alone.

Start preparing the watercolor base. Fill the measuring cup with 1 glass of water... not hot, but hot. Gradually stir in 1/2 cup gum arabic. Stir slowly to combine the balls. Stir until all parts are combined. (It can go through the veil if it's still tangled, but I haven't had a problem with the batteries)

Then add 1/5 cup of honey, mixing gently. Add 6 drops of nail oil as a preservative to give it a wonderful scent.

The watercolor base is now ready. If not used immediately, you can store it in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.

Set up your workplace now. You need a large glass cutting board. I only do a dollop of pigment at a time, so I use the glass cutting boards in the accessories list. If you want to make it huge, you will need a lot more space.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of powdered pigment on the cutting board. Do you see how purple is in golden tones? This is the magic of color change.

Fill 4 cups with this number for the first mix.

Then pour in a tablespoon of watercolor base pigment, such as mashed potatoes.

Then use a putty knife/spatula to gently blend the pigment onto the base. You will see that there are small bits of powder in the mixture. I used this straw squeegee from the dollar store, it was half torn. You need one metal for this amount mixed.

After mixing you will probably need to add some more watercolor base. The consistency should be like warm honey, flowing thick but free.

This is where Mueller comes in. I use flat bottom glass...so check out the perfect little glass that works just as well as your local thrift store.

Press the mules around the watercolor mixture to blend. The glass of the glass allows the powder to explode at the base without bubbles in the paint.

Now take the mixed watercolor with a spatula and fill it into plastic containers. Then let it dry for a few weeks.

When they dry, the water evaporates, leaving a concentrated watercolor. But right now it fills about half the bowl. This is where the long process comes in.

Now let's repeat the mix and set the core aside. The filling process will probably take 3-4 steps to maintain a good height in the pan. Mine isn't perfect...there are air bubbles here and there.

After the watercolor is dry, you can add a drop or two of water to start painting, writing, calligraphy, watercolor or highlighting.

I like the sparkle of the metal band. Which color combination do you prefer?

Personally, I nominate everyone because I like doing it.

Starting from the top row, left to right.

Ocean, Ice Crystal, Hibiscus, Caribbean, Orchid, Pearl, Coral, Lucky Dragon, Pink, Mermaid, Lilac, Pegasus, Gold, Pond, Sea Witch, Copper, Pearl և Orchid... yes, more orchids at the end. pearl than the other colors.

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

And so the 21 colors are seen together on white paper. My favorite color is undoubtedly the Caribbean.

Some colors have a beautiful golden hue.

Once the colors are dry, they can be placed on the bottom of the pan with a magnetic layer. This prevents the bobbins from moving.

If necessary, wrap the watercolors in gift paper.

Now they can be given away, sold or simply enjoyed.

It's a great achievement when I can create my own watercolor. It was a lot of time, patience, waiting, spending... but it was fun. Think you can try making your own watercolor?

I like the difference between using white or paper. The pigments only shine on the paper.
