Coliro Pearlcolors | Swatching and First Impressions

[@creativitybytrisha6819]

Shizen, Legion, and Van Gough all make black watercolor paper. I think there's more but I can't remember off hand

[@creativitybytrisha6819]

And Arteza

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

That's good to know - thank you!

[@karensquirrell7232]

Absolutely stunning pages 💖

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Yes black watercolor paper…Stonehenge! These are amazing to use when I paper craft. Check out their pearlescent pearl colors /Candy. Pearly blues, pinks, minty greens, etc… A Must Have! ;-) . … TFS!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

I'll look into it. Thank you!

[@lindagraham]

Very beautiful, gorgeous color's I ❤️ it 👍💕🌹👌💐

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

They definitely are pretty!

[@NaomiCoutureArt]

I got a set like this around Christmas time last year for my watercolor cards (though they didn't come in time to use!). I think mine came with gold and silver but has slightly different colors like a rose gold and others. Really pretty metallics and they show up nice on white paper. I need to remember to use mine around the holidays lol

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Was it the Coliro ones? Coliro has a few other sets too. Originally, I thought this was the only one. Then, after hunting on Amazon I found like 3 more. That was dangerous lol

[@NaomiCoutureArt]

@@ColorfullyOptimistic I think it was the same brand. I’ll have to check later and see. Haha yes Amazon can be dangerous especially when you get those messages “since you got this product you may also like x,y,z” I’m like well now that you mention it, I do need those other products don’t I lol.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

@@NaomiCoutureArt lol Amazon wants you to spend all your money they're and they make it easy

[@julieloucalcote1368]

Oh! I want some of those colors! Thank you for the demo! Much appreciated!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

You are so welcome!

[@ShainaInColorland]

These are really pretty! Thanks for the review ☺️💜

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

My pleasure 😊 I haven't really reviewed them yet though - just swatched and first impressions. I have to play with them a bit first.

[@janinejohnson6357]

I've seen these too beautiful colors I love metallic even own metallic pencils. Ty fir the swatchinh

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Coliro has metallic pencils? Oh that could get dangerous.

[@carolberres5528]

Beautiful colors, thanks for sharing

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Thank you Carol!

[@TheRindyrae]

These watercolors are pretty. I may have to put them on my list. I can't wait to see how you use thesew.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

They are definitely the sparkle and gold effects I've been looking for.

[@jackiekonrad859]

Beautiful colors 😍

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

They def are!

[@sonyaoart]

I've loved these for a long time, there are so many beautiful shiny colours and they all look so luscious! I've no idea what I'd be using them for, though, seeing as I mainly draw and paint animals.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

I will probably use them a lot for accents, especially around the holidays.

[@emmyyardley9206]

These are so pretty and luscious , they look fun to work with x

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

I had seen them used a lot and just had to try them. I'm glad I did!

[@traciedawncolors3939]

These are gorgeous. I have wanted to try watercolor again. It looks like I paint with my feet. LOL Your swatches has excited me once again. Thanks

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Believe it or not, messy watercolor often looks the coolest lol. No joke.

[@traciedawncolors3939]

@@ColorfullyOptimistic i think I have tried to be to precise. I painted with acrylic for so long. Maybe adjust my thinking?

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

@@traciedawncolors3939 oh yea just be free with it. That's what watercolor is about

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

@@traciedawncolors3939 LOL yup, just go crazy. Don't think about it.

[@Joyce-bv2tg]

I did not know if you were asking about black watercolor paper or paint. I do have black watercolor paper, bought on amazon. I don't remember what brand. It is hot press. Also have these paints, love them. 🌹❤

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Yes! I've been looking for a good black watercolor paper. Is the hot press one smooth on one side? I'm trying to find dual sided if possible.

[@Joyce-bv2tg]

@@ColorfullyOptimistic No texture. Was the legion paper.

[@courbry123]

I have these and love them, but forget to use them. I can’t wait for to see you use them in a pic. 😊

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

I definitely need to use these. I keep buying stuff and it never sees the light of day.

[@CraftingwithEB]

This is a cool set love the colors that came in it

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

It is! They actually have other sets that are now on my wishlist. Oh my what a dangerous rabbit hole. I don't recommend looking up other sets haha

[@sonettelabuschagne816]

I have been looking at these as well. They are beautiful. Pity there isn't a rose gold. Wonder if you mix in a light pink water color with the pearl gold if you would get a rose gold effect

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

So, there are more than just this set, and the other one has the rose gold. Yes, you could easily make a rose gold though.

[@saraross5089]

I think there harder to re-wet because they are compacted into the pan, sort of like a pressed eye-shadow. For black watercolor paper I've found Stonehenge Aqua Black Pad Van Gogh Watercolor Paper Pad, 140lb, Black Paper Shizen Design, Watercolor Paper, Black, Hot Press there is also Strathmore 400 Series Black Mixed Media Pad which I've found that looks quite nice. Love your videos always nice to unwind to. Congrats on the 4000 subs!

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Yes most likely the reason why. Have you tried those watercolor papers? I'm hoping to find one people have tested. I see you have tried the Strathmore though.

[@saraross5089]

@@ColorfullyOptimistic I have tried the Stonehenge paper just not in black unfortunately. It can be quite an expensive brand depending where you buy it from. hope this was helpful.

[@cahterinejohnson8088]

There is black watercolor paper. It's probably found online or at art supply stores like Blick's.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Yes, I know there is black watercolor paper, but was hoping for a good brand someone could tell me about that they've tried/tested out. Since it seems these black ones are very expensive and I'd hate to guess lol

[@angelajclarkson]

Canson makes a black waterccolour paper Kori - 300gsm Hot pressed. So do Arches

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Arches kills my budget lol. But I'll look into that one

[@angelajclarkson]

@@ColorfullyOptimistic There are other budget friendly options out there too Kori xx

[@melissacrawford303]

Very pretty.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

All shiny and shimmery!

[@sherryscoloringandpaintingcorn]

i have those and they super nice

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

They are very shiny that's for sure.
