Making of Colorshift Watercolors [Part - 1] ASMR | DIY Watercolors | Make Watercolors at Home

[@debbiebarnette9715]

Love the paints you create! So very pretty!

[@Jelizabeth170]

I just purchased my items to start making my own paints!! I feel it’s totally worth it to make your own vs purchasing from someone else. More bang for your buck & it’s so satisfying

[@crafterine]

That's absolutely true! Welcome to the world of paint makers ❤️

[@christycutshaw9664]

Im so intrigued I wanna know all about this!! What do I need and where should I get the items 🙏🙏🙏

[@mansiparmar2796]

Where to get the items from

[@christycutshaw9664]

I got all the supplies! I used Amazon but I'm hoping the mica pigments I got (63 and 6 chameleon) will be good enough to make beautiful colors like these! I'm just wondering, do you mix together like a normal color and a chameleon to get a color?

[@anette9291]

There is something very meditative about watching these videos. Meditative AND learning? Win, win. Thank you!

[@crafterine]

You’re the sweetest. Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it 🥰

[@JudiChristopher]

The Filming and Editing of this Video was Spot On... "BRAVO"

[@crafterine]

Thank you so much 😊

[@EspressoMoon]

You are absolutely awesome! I watched the other watercolor videos you made as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I can't wait to try it!

[@kimberlymaespana1563]

so mesmerizing to watch! do more contents like these

[@crafterine]

Thank you so much! Your kind words made my day 🥰

[@arthyjk4132]

Hi thanks for making the video. Will you be letting me know what’s the two liquids you mix with the mica powder. One is the gum Arabic and the other one I don’t know. One was honey gold color and the other was white or transparent color. Do you mind letting me know? Thanks a lot❤️

[@crafterine]

Thank you for watching! Sure. I add the watercolor binder , a pinch of honey and then a few drops of it essential oil 🪔

[@rainydays7251]

So sorry if this is a bad question but iv been considering making my own but what do you use to mix the micra with?

[@crafterine]

It’s called a watercolor binder. There’s a full tutorial on my channel, if you’re interested. This one is just an ASMR version 😊

[@JudiChristopher]

Wow... So Beautiful.. ASMR for sure... 1:40 Where could I buy this? What is the name of the color?

[@crafterine]

Unfortunately these paints are no longer available in my shop. If you are within Europe, I could notify you when I make them 😄

[@rjkbjkayser]

Watching with my GrandDaughter and she said>> OH Granny THAT IS Soooo Satisfying!

[@crafterine]

Oh! You just made my day! Thank you for watching 🥰

[@sanjushrijv3177]

Hi, I love all your videos and I have a huge respect coz you teach a lot of this valuable stuff and answer each and every comment!!! Keep doing all these videos and also can you please suggest some brands of these pigments you are using, coz im trying to do make watercolours but confused on what pigments to use.

[@heatherosborne7]

Where did you get your muller?

[@crafterine]

I found it on Amazon. Although it’s really hard to find one these days

[@angelawilliams4644]

Really loving your content! So mesmerizing to watch. When creating watercolor paints at home, are these stable enough to be stored in metal tubes or do they have to be dried in pans?

[@crafterine]

They are good to store in tubes or pans. Either way, you can be assured that they work the same however I would add preservatives like clove oil to be sure of it 😊

[@crafterine]

Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me ❤️

[@BharthyDivakar]

Hi where can i get these quarter pans

[@JudiChristopher]

2:20 ... Yes... that color... what is the name of it?

[@crafterine]

I’m sorry i have no idea. I made them long back :)

[@Badjohn21]

What products do you put it on it?Glue?Honey?

[@crafterine]

Yes, binder + honey + clove oil 😊

[@roshie187]

Where do you buy colorshifting mica?

[@crafterine]

sometimes I buy them online, and sometimes I source them from a local small business here in Germany :)

[@heatherosborne7]

Which brand did you use for this one please? The pigment is amazing and i would like mine to also have that quality😁.. thank you soooo much for all you do on here!! Our family loves your videos!!!​@crafterine

[@IoncuDarius]

But where do I get that giant glass thing

[@crafterine]

I found it on Amazon. It’s called glass muller

[@heatherosborne7]

​@@crafterinelol I got mine on there, but it was only 2 inches when inopened it😂😂😂.. I had asked which one that was too!! I love the size!

[@wiccasdream]

Can you suggest any of the color shift pigments? I've tried 3 or 4 brands and not been happy?

[@crafterine]

If you ask me, I've tried tons of brands and different sellers too. But I realized that, the more expensive Colorshifting pigment is, the more vibrant it shows u up. Cheaper ones have a mild shift.

[@dianelindemann-msa690]

Love the mica powders. What kind are they?

[@crafterine]

These are Chameleon Pigments, which portray different colors depending on the direction of light falling on it. These are mostly used by Automobile companies

[@JudiChristopher]

What is the Name of the music that you used? It was perfect for this video.

[@crafterine]

I’m not sure which one it is. I remember downloading it from Pixabay

[@nimralaliwala8811]

I see you added honey at the end.... May I know the reason and difference of it adding beforehand and adding it while making paints....kinda curious yk.... Btw, love your channel and now I can't wait to make some paints for me !!

[@crafterine]

Previously, I used to add honey in the binder. Lately I've been experimenting with 2-3 drops of honey mixed with the pigment and I feel that it increases the flow of the paint and it also helps avoid paint cracking in the pans. Then again, if honey gets a bit much, the paint gets sticky. So you may need to find the perfect balance :)... I hope I answered your question

[@nimralaliwala8811]

@@crafterine yepp... Understandable thanks 💞

[@gretchenbrianpaddock2356]

How do you add just 2-3 drops of honey? Maybe my honey is much thicker, but it doesn't come out in drops. Usually blobs! so I've been avoiding honey, but maybe I just need to find a runnier one.

[@crafterine]

That's alright. Generally I use Acacia Honey but then any organic honey can work. You can also use a measuring spoon to scoop a little honey and add it in. While mixing and mulling the honey would blend in :) I hope this helps :)

[@nicoleshappyplace4176]

Hi me again. Another question for you. In this newer video you are just adding the honey separately and not in the gum mixture. Do you also have the glycerin in the mixture? And is there a difference of when you add your honey?? Thank you for your time.

[@cassiacana5335]

The difference with honey is that it retains moisture much better than the gums and it tends to dry with a pleasant satiny shine. Unfortunately it tends to attract bugs while wet and even dry so you have to protect the work.

[@fathimakhan9518]

Hey, Seen your video Can I use any different powder or only mica powder works on it.. -? & how many days do I keep gum arabic in fridge..?

[@crafterine]

Sure. You can experiment with different powders and glitters too. You can also try mineral pigments to make matte watercolors too

[@kiransingh4216]

Where do you buy this small containers from can you give me the link for the containers plz😅😅

[@kknowles1422]

Amazon sells the empty paint pots.

[@crafterine]

I fetch them from Amazon. You get a deal for 100 half pans

[@KatieCochran]

Which blue pigment did you use for the second paint you mixed? Are you able to link it for us? Thank you for such a calming video.

[@crafterine]

I am happy to hear that you loved the soothing paint making process. The pigments are being sourced from a small local supplier. I wish I could help with a link. I am sure you may find them online too.

[@JessicaJasinski]

What would be the difference if you didn't use honey VS if u add honey. Would u be able to show if there is a difference.

[@ara1234f]

Hello, Im making my own color shifting watercolor... do you know why if I touch the dried watercolor on paper it fades if Im passing my finger on de paper? All the pigment fade away. Please help I added more binder and also I put less binder but it didn't work :(

[@crafterine]

Oh ! I’m sorry to hear that. If the pigment is not sticking to the paper, it needs more binder. The binder helps stick the pigment to the paper. If it’s getting on your fingers, it definitely needs more binder. When you rub a tissue paper and there’s no dried paint on it, till then you have to keep adding the binder. I hope it works out for you. Let me know how it goes.

[@JW-vi2nh]

While I realize that every pigment is going to be a bit different, I was wondering if you could give a really rough idea of how much pigment powder should be used to make a match of homemade watercolors. I've been considering trying my hand at making my own and I have literally hundreds of mineral eyeshadows I would like to experiment with, but I obviously don't want to waste a bunch by having zero clue how much to use.

[@cassiacana5335]

Hmm, given the average size of both I think 1 pan of eyeshadow would make 1 half pan or maybe a whole pan of watercolor. You just have to powder it and add the gum arabic solution in a drizzle as you stir. So you should get a decent amount of paint out of your collection!

[@crafterine]

I generally start with a 1:1 ratio. However sometimes you may find it too watery, in that case add in more pigment. If it's semi solid-y , add in more binder with a dropper. After mulling it should have a smooth consistency and smooth finish on a paper swatch. That's what we are looking for. ❤️

[@steveo1511978]

What exactly is the binder made of? I am hard of hearing and cannot understand what you said.

[@crafterine]

The binder is made out of gum arabic, distilled water and honey/ glycerine

[@farahclay912]

Beautiful. Where did you buy the color shift pigment?

[@crafterine]

I fetch the pigments from a local supplier. I guess you can find them online too.

[@debyong]

how long do u mull for and where do u get ur pigments!

[@crafterine]

I would mull the Colorshifts/Mica pigments till I get a smooth swatch of paint and they don't rub off the paper 😅. This varies with each Pigment approx 20 mins - 1/2 hrs

[@debyong]

@@crafterine thank you!

[@rosannazucchelli4229]

I make beautiful colora and all that mulling Is not needed

[@yomateitdobeme]

is the artist adding honey to the paint? why so?

[@crafterine]

Honey is a humectant and it helps the pigments glide smooth over the paper while painting :)

[@celieceltic2175]

What’s the stuff in the cup and the powder..

[@crafterine]

The liquid in the cup is a watercolor binder and the powder is pigment

[@lilianshelton4290]

Thank you for sharing this video. Would you please give us the recipe?? I don't want to experiment and fail. Thank you!

[@crafterine]

It's my pleasure! Yes, the recipe is available in another KZbin video, under the playlist "handmade watercolors"

[@nivedita579]

Do we need to add any priservetives for long lasting of colours?

[@Artbysejaaa]

Can you please teach me to make these colours.....I want to sell it in india plzzz!!

[@crafterine]
