Hi one question, . Out of all the metallic watercolors you tested in this wonderful video, Did you have any difficulties with loading the brush with pigment? If so, which one of them? . . . I love your videos and your such an inspiration to me 😍❤

[@loveliercord1749]

Wayyyyyyy too much water

[@osofine23]

Oh! I just commented on that idea! I hope you added the key word “ASMR” to the video! My daughter loves those relaxing videos and I was amazed by the millions (!) of views they get! If you haven’t already, search KZbin for ASMR and you’ll see. It could be a new channel for you to make! Please don’t take too much time from your art videos, though! 😊

[@selenabonilla2281]

You should try the tinge metallic water color set . It has shimmering black.

[@bangtanspurpleocean9802]

It's really satisfying 😍

Thank you!

[@hmax1591]

hello mustafa....can you explain what you found satisfying about the closeups? I am trying to understand if your comment has anything to do with asmr.

[@asdfgMustafa]

@@hmax1591 It was nice seeing a solid turning into a liquid and then being mixed with the brush! Also, it was satisfying when the paint was being painted on evenly. I don't think this has to with asmr. :)

[@hmax1591]

@@asdfgMustafa o.k. i have read of people and seen videos where people write the same comment and it has to do with asmr.

[@darkmoonlady2002]

You added to much water to the Finetecs. They don't need much water and they work better if you just use a few drops.

[@mettejepsen1487]

Thats what i came here to say... she washed them totally out

[@rosea.lugorivera7139]

The same thoughts I had. It was too much water, i think it would worked better with less water drops.

[@amelievandecasteele4998]

I think she used to much water in general. She’s literally soaking almost every colour in water (and then saying that they’re not vibrant enough). Smh a little.

[@carolhoover-whippy2580]

I was confused when she used the Finetecs. She kept calling them the 'Pearl Color set'. I have Finetecs and every artist I know who has them calls them just Finetecs. I see the show notes has them listed correctly. But to say Pearl Color set from Amazon made me think that these were a knock off of Finetecs. I bought mine from Jetpens.com. They are sold elsewhere too. I love mine and my own comparisons at home I think the Finetecs have the best gold coverage of the other brands. Yes I agree that you need a lot less water too.

[@WildPortraitArtist]

@@carolhoover-whippy2580 "Coliro Pearlcolor" is the full name of the brand. They are not a knock-off.

Happy Saturday! I'm FINALLY got around to test out all the gold watercolor sets that I wanted to test out for ages! After watching the video, let me know what was your favourite set? *Note:* I forgot to mention in the video that the Komorebi set had a strong smell to it! Just keep that in mind!

the comorebi one OMG so beautiful

[@caitlinhanson8631]

The komorebi set is my favorite!

[@xoxarily]

4:36 Definitely want that relaxing video with all the close ups

[@lissylyrics1987]

I agree!!!

[@EmanFatima-ki2zv]

Me too!!

[@missa7008]

Usually for gold, i just use acrylic gold, it's shinier and cheaper (in my country), plus you can make it as opaque as possible or add water to make it translucent which works really well when painting sunsets on water 😍

[@RYFT0R]

Lucky in my country its more expensive lol

[@kreativeReise]

Which brand do you use?

[@safala]

I do the same. I’m not sure you can even find watercolor gold in my country. I have a powder gold and a set of four pearl acrylic colors and they are great to use as both acrylic colors and watercolors.

[@VS-rv1btartnfun]

Which gold ?

[@aeriacross770]

I got the schminke gold gouache and the pentel gold poster color. I love the opacity and shine of the pentel. Schminke shines when you use it dry or with not a lot of water i guess cause otherwise the glitters kind of separates when you stroke? Still need to get ny technique down. But I got the Royal Talens copper(closest to rose gold i'm looking for) and it was so amazing to use. I guess the extra fine versus the fine on schminke makes the difference though both are artist grade The schminke comes in a bigger tube though so trade offs...

[@skippypbf7988]

makocinno: im just putting a little drops of water also makocinno: puts the whole tube of water in the pan

[@Blissfulthings]

The aqua bronze powders work really well when used dry, with a small fan brush and lightly sprinkled on top of wet watercolours...very pretty night star effects! This is a great video! Thankyou 😊

I love the 3rd one because the man thing in metallic colour they can work perfectly on any colour and type of sheet I think it is the best and You have also recommend this to us .... Love It .....

[@judichristopher4604]

0:38 I use that Schmincke Aqua Rich Pale Gold I put 4 parts of pigment powder to 1 part Gum Arabic mix well... put it into a tub... when I'm ready I use water to water color or doing Calligraphy or alcohol for Ink color...

[@Fancylooks]

Absolutely stunning video and very informative, a delight to watch, thank you so much!

[@Amyduckie]

I have the coliro finetec pans. I bought them singularly from Jetpens and found them to be great. The shine and opacity are most important to me, and they have the largest colour range. I also avoid gansai tambi paint as a rule, as it often contains animal based glues, which I’d rather not purchase or support the use of. But that’s just personal preference. I’m learning a hell of a lot in the years since I decided to start using watercolour and sometimes I feel like I will never learn it all.

[@shaz8486]

Amy Woods thanks for your comment, I have just been looking at these watercolour pans, I have never seen them before and I was thinking of buying some but I got the impression she didn’t think they were that great. It’s good to know someone uses them and they are a nice quality! 😀

[@Makoccino]

[@beautifulsunflower3662]

makoccino thank you so much 😆 can’t wait to see it!! I just love all your videos!

[@fionaeckert4556]

You are right about watching pigments dance around in close ups to be super satisfying. Also I like that you show the prices in £, € and $. #makoficationsquad

[@jessicalaura2656]

I'd definitely love to see relaxing videos of paint close ups! That was so soothing to watch. I'd also love to see you use metalic water colours in a painting. I've always been scared to try out metallics, and seeing you test these has made me a little less anxious about it but I'd love to see you use these in a proper art work :)

[@SilverHyenaTV]

There's something hypnotic about those close up shots of metallic paint with the brush in there, I just LOVE it! Now I feel the urge to go out and buy a bunch of watercolor stuff I don't need but sure do want!

[@sigalmeir]

Those extreme closeups are out of this world. Definitely YES for more.

[@Katie-po7uc]

Gansai is always my go-to set if I want a gold watercolor :)

[@audreyn1996]

Katie you could say... it’s your “glow”-to set

[@Katie-po7uc]

Spicy Citrus Omg that's amazing

[@keldyshka]

I love this! It feels so autumny because of all the gold :D I just wanted to also say that I love how much you interact with your fans and reply to your comments, even though you’re not such a small creator anymore!! Keep it up, that’s why I love you ❤️

They were not all opaque because she put too much water... I am an artist (yes, Masters Degree), so I know what I am talking about :)

[@arlofinch4628]

she just needed a few drops, not to cover the whole pan

[@hopetomlin6939]

Woah no need to flex

[@Aerin1]

Deeqa Ali she’s not flexing. Probably just trying to stop comments telling her she’s wrong or she has no knowledge, beforehand. You’re all too sensitive imo. 😂 this is a watercolor channel, we need all the tips we can get 👏🏻

[@elenycristin9642]

If an amateur tells one something like that, one will not trust. If I give one proof that I know what I am talking about, one will trust. That was the only reason I wrote about my degree, not to show off ^^

[@Ditabonita]

I'm not a professional artist, cause I'm 12. But in my opinion, i think she used a little more water than needed😅

[@Alex-fc8xn]

I 100% vote yes for the satisfying video. I love watching acrylic/oil paint mixing, satisfying painting time lapses, close ups of swirling pigments in water or paint, and so on. I find it really calming and relaxing.
