NEW Kuretake OPAL Paints! Unboxing & Review

[@Kayenne54]

11:00 Lots of opal in Australia, where I live. As a kid, my parents had a random guy (opal prospector, as it turned out) over for dinner. After we ate, he took us kids about ten paces further in the bush, tapped on this boring rock, and inside was THE most beautiful blue/fire opal ever. Right next to where we were camped. Exciting stuff for beginner "rock hounds" like ourselves. Most opal jewellery is called "triplet" which means it's basically a thin shaving/slice or veneer of opal, over other backing, not solid opal. My mother had an opal ring; never allowed to wash up with it on.

Would you be able to do a video showing how you would use those paints. I have most of them and rarely use them because I am unsure of their best use.

[@Bella_Ciao_Colouring]

It came to my mind that it might be nice to use after coloring fish scales for effect.

[@sunnycharacter]

Oh Jennifer, wait until you try the new 24 color set of the Gansai Tambi “Art Nouveau” for 2022! They’re amazing! All new colors, very cool! On Amazon.

My heart simply melts every time I see Swee little Rose at your side after all that ya'll have been through together.

[@rusapen]

Steve in the background sounds like an awesome hype man 😆

[@tychesong]

Japanese are that way (if they could control it). What you see on the packaging and description, it is what you will get. I think that's why a lot of people love Japanese products, because most of the time, it is as advertised (of course, there are also the few oddballs that don't). This is a very nice review. Although not the main topic of this video, the graphite colours looks really gorgeous! BTW, I hope I don't sound obnoxious to you, but in Kuretake...the ke is pronounced like how you pronounce the word cake, and the Tambi...bi is pronounced like the insect bee, and not bicycle bi. Hope it helps you.

I love this ❤site. I just bought a set of 12 metallic paints from Artistro , a nice little set, but now I don’t know what to paint with them, I was not impressed with the swatch’s

[@Amanda.0317]

I love the way they look on the tanned paper!! And i love the way the opals look on black paper and a bit on the tan but the regular white watercolor paper i dont like the opals

[@donnabost4445]

Those would make beautiful SNOW!!!

[@7409gigi]

On my screen, the swatches on the white paper- the one labeled pink looked green and the one labeled green looked pink🤪😜 But oh my! On the black!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@valasafantastic1055]

I really want the opal set! I already have starry and gem.

[@evelynbrown5312]

Love these paints although I only have the starry ones so need to get more. I watched someone do a comparison with the starry colours and the same colours of Finetec, she was surprised to find they were much the same as the Finetc which had been her favourite. She also let the mica build up at the bottom of the water from cleaning her brushes and used it as a spray once it had settled after pouring half the water out

[@jenniferheredia2267]

❤❤❤

[@dianelake7802]

I came across your comparison video of Chromaflow and Prismacolor. In the beginning you had your dog come on. If I am not mistaken he/she is a Maltese. I have a Maltese poodle. Best dog and my heart. anyway, I could not help but contact you and say Hi from one Maltese to another.

[@cassandra007]

Such a smart storage solution for your collection.

[@ArtisticKatz]

I have one set, the starry colours, they are great. I am now wanting all the sets.

[@chickenlittle23ful]

Thank you for this great video. Love you energy and the bit with the real opals. Also LOVE your nail polish. What nail polish and color are you wearing here? (Also just bought the Gansai 100 collection that just came out!)

[@georgeclinton2570]

There is now a new set of kuretake called Art Nouveau. I just purchased the set and I am anxiously awaiting them.

[@susanbarackman-artist7670]

perfect choice of nail color to intro these great colors

[@fizbanpernegelf5363]

I love my 48 set of Kuretake Gansai Tambi. They are their non-gemlike water colours and they are such a pleasure to work with. A couple of the golds are included in the 48 set

[@astridgarcia888]

Thank you very much to both of you for this incredible video ! Love them all !

[@unboundbytiffany]

I've been loving your free swatch printable pages so much. It was the only way I could even get all 3 different ohuhu color alcohol marker sets swatched together in as close to perfect color/shade order as possible. So thank you!! It was actually super fun swatching, cutting all 149 out, applying repositionable glue to all 149 little squares and replacing onto a second swatch page. It's sooo beautiful and omg to have them in order and swatched so cleanly and orderly etc made me beyond happy and my coloring soo much easier. Thank you thank you! If you ever want me to send you a copy of what I did you're welcome to use if they're something you'd like. :) keep doing the awesome and generous beautiful things you do! And while I'm not a paid member (yet) because this month has been one of the toughest for my family, I do plan on becoming on in the upcoming weeks just to show how grateful I am more than anything, but the extra printables are definitely an extra wonderful perk. ;) have an incredible week my dear.

[@jenniferwilson6212]

Loving the nails… Can you share your nail polish color? Thank you!

[@marytesta3003]

Hi Rosie🐾🐾 Your peep are awesome! It's always fun to watch their videos.

[@cheryldodge5126]

Thank you Jennifer I believe laminating sheets are also available in a more matt finish.

[@dthomp06]

Is the interior packaging cardboard? Makes it difficult to mist the paints to activate them. I love the colors though. Opal is an absolutely gorgeous gem. I was introduced to it years ago the first time I visited Australia. I’ve loved it ever since then.

[@mariakelley8410]

Lovely watercolors. Thank you for sharing.

[@terrieblazek1834]

I have been collection thr Kuretake Paints for a year & was so happy to see your review...I love these Japanese-made paints. The new Collection called Art Nouveau has lovely contemporary colors. Many colors in this new Kuretake palette are clone colors of the high end, expensive tube colors made by Daniel Smith I have from 20 years ago. At that time DS was first producing their own line of colors made from rocks & gemstones that were granulating colors, too. Going to put this Kuretake Set on my list for Santa...!

[@fantastic_pudding]

Those opal paints are gorgeous! 😍

[@isobelmoore7025]

Have you ever tried to mix the graphite ones with the opal ones together?

[@pollyweinmann5082]

Jennifer, you are killing me. You know what a sucker I am for anything sparklely!

[@ladyrg5040]

Wow! Thank you Jennifer. Just gorgeous!

[@unboundbytiffany]

This was great timing for this video too, I've been really wanting more Metallics in my arsenal! :D

[@karenspann7583]

beautiful colors. I use gray paper a lot I really like the finished colorings on it.

[@angelajennings9401]

Love your happy bright and informative videos. Love your family and I must say how beautiful your hands are nails always are!!

[@heianwoman]

Looks wonderful. What a great idea.

[@sueellens]

Gorgeous!

[@sherylmclaren7202]

i was most surprised by the look of the colors on the tan. i honestly thought that was going to be a bad color choice. i am so happy to be wrong! another great video! 💜

[@louiswolfe5012]

Are you gonna do a giveaway of something similar to this, but it's not your personal supplies, it could be any supplies I would love to have this box plus the Paul Rubens (and the 24 finetec, $68 on Amazon), Komororibi 24 set Are the other minor changes I would make if I was making this dedicated to metallic watercolors. Keep Creating Amazing Art!

[@katherinbc1]

very interesting, looks easier to use them some for adding bling..

[@ConnieWoodworth]

Love this video! I am using more different colored watercolor paper. Grey colored water colored paper can make a dramatic background.

[@marjoriewinston8275]

Wow, they're awesome.

[@shannon7206]

What multichrome Nail polish are u wearing

[@lyndanickerson1373]

I don't paint but these paints are so beautiful.

[@leonnehaaijman4709]

You are so right about awkward packaging being off putting. “Nah, can’t be bothered”, which is a shame!

[@edahacisagir551]

Can I swatch white gold with other not metalic colors and create a different metalic water color?

[@mimiladd9888]

On Amazon they sell the starry pearl and gem and the starry pigment as a three for 36 dollars on Amazon that doesn’t include the opals and darker tones

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole]

Lovin it 💕

[@susanbarackman-artist7670]

the paint with the real silver makes me want to question...doesn't silver tarnish? does that mean what you paint with that color will also tarnish?

[@frau-rembo]

I don't know why, but on my screen the opals swimmer on the white paper a totally different way than they are called. Like, blue shimmers in golden, and green shimmers in violet. On all other 3 papers they do not do it this way, pink is pink and green is green.

[@wynngwynn]

Metallics are ok for lettering and stuff like that but I find they detract from actual artwork unless it's very minimal. I think having this many is REALLY overkill tbh.

[@da1latinbeauty]

Lol I thought box was empty lol 😂.

[@CORNALSDAUGHTER]

So the pearls don’t really show a color? And if not would would you mix with another color?

[@mimiladd9888]

You could but you wouldn’t want to mix with a gansi tambi with another mica pigment

[@CaityRaindrop]

This question is prob dumb but, if I print from an ink jet on watercolor paper does the paint make the ink bleed? I can't do printables for marker art cause I only have an ink jet but I'd like to practice the watercolors I have on printables if I can, I'm afraid of ruining my coloring books with em so I'd like to scan and print extras for paint

[@CaityRaindrop]

+ could you do a tutorial on coloring opals with pencils? It's such a unique color scheme, I find it so much easier to do digitally

[@BiteSizedCrafter]

Was anyone else concerned after hearing the weird buzz right after she did the channel name part of the intro? I rewatched that part a few times to make sure I wasn’t hearing things. What was that?!

[@dianejones2102]

Did you realise the white paper swatches are back to front 😏

[@ChelleBeeby]

💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜

[@TWISTER_YT515]

this stream was awesome. i loved it.

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole536]

Lovin it 🥰
