How to Make Color Shift Watercolors Tutorial

Learn how to make color-changing watercolors with your hands. The color-changing watercolor is amazing! It can be expensive and difficult to obtain ... I know, I've tried!

I decided that what I really needed to do was learn how to do it right. It’s hard to find a great home-made watercolor book, so this textbook is my gift! This guide has all the tips and tricks, supplies, and processes you need to create your own home watercolor.

Painting watercolor at home is a PROCESS. This is not something I want to do in business.

I sold some holiday kits to cover expenses, but I have no plans to sell any more.

Color-changing ink is different from black paper to white paper. White paper gives a light pastel effect. It’s good to post other projects to add some of the most amazing shine.

On black surfaces, watercolors become the brightest metallic color! When the paper moves in the sun, the colors change and jump. All the colors I make are my favorites! I’ve mentioned them all and I love painting with them.

Start preparing a watercolor base. Fill a gauge with a glass of water ... not hot, hot. Gradually mix in 1/2 cup gum arabic. Stir gently to mix into portions. Stir until all parts are mixed. (If the cheese is still round, you can drain it, but I had no problem with the grains)

Then add 1/5 cup honey and stir until smooth. Add 6 drops of nail oil as a preservative and give it a wonderful flavor!

Now the watercolor base is ready. If you don't use them all at once, you can store them in the fridge for 2 weeks.

Now set up your workplace. You will want a large glass cutting board. I only make one tablespoon of pigment at a time, so I use glass cutting boards on my stock list. If you produce them in bulk, you will need more space.

Place 1 tablespoon of pigment powder on the cutting board. Do you see what purple gold looks like? This is the magic of changing colors!

That number filled 4 and a half glasses for the first mix.

Then pour a tablespoon of watercolor on top of the pigment base, for example, on top of the mashed potato sauce.

Then use the palette knife / spatula pigment to gently mix the base. You will notice that there are small dust particles in the mixture. I used this spatula shovel from the dollar store and it broke in half. You will want a metal to mix that amount.

After mixing, you will probably need to add more watercolor bases. Consistency should be as thick as hot honey, but not spilled.

Here you will need Müller. I use a flat glass bottom ... so check your local thrift store to find the perfect glass that will work at the same time.

Squeeze Muller over the watercolor mixture and mix. The glass of the glass will crack the dust at the base and there will be no lumps when painting.

Now take the water-based paints mixed with a spatula and pour them into plastic molds. Then let it dry for a few weeks.

As it dries, the water evaporates to form a condensed watercolor. But at the moment it only fills half the bowl. Hence the long process.

Now repeat the mixture and fill and set aside. The filling process will probably take 3-4 to maintain a good height in the pan. Mine is not perfect ... there are air bubbles here and there.

Once the watercolors have dried, they are ready to add a drop or two of water and draw, write, calligraphy, watercolors or just stand out.

I like the unusual metallic luster! Which color combination do you prefer?

I personally mentioned them all because it’s something I love!

Start with the top row from left to right:

Ocean, Ice Crystals, Hibiscus, Caribbean, Orchids, Pearls, Coral, Lucky Dragon, Pink, Mermaid, Lilac, Pegasus, Gold, Ezta, Witch, Copper, Pearl and Orchids ... yes, in the end they had a lot of orchids and pearls. unlike other colors.

I made 6 other colors and you can see them here and there in the colors I sell.

How to see 21 colors on black and white paper. My favorite color is Caribbean!

There is a wonderful change of gold in so many colors!

Once the paint dries, they are ready to place a magnetic stripe under the ceiling. This will keep them in the eye without moving.

If desired, wrap the dishes with watercolors in a plastic bag.

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

She has great achievements in drawing her watercolor. In most cases, the reception required patience and initial expense ... but it was fun. Are you thinking of trying to make your own watercolors?

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