I love these, thanks for the great review. To clarify for everyone, it is watercolor and not ink. Which means its completely water-soluble even if it dries in your palette. It is lightfast as Kristina said because its pigmented and not dye-based so you must be sure to stir them really well as the pigment settles to the bottom of the jar. They are no different than artist's grade tube colors except they're pre-dissolved into liquid form. Great for calligraphy, ruling pens, dip pens or filling water brushes with color.
You're an amazing calligrapher by the way. Love watching that.
I am having a very hard time rewetting these in my ceramic pallet. Do I need to use a warm water?
Back in the 80's these watercolors were the favorite ones to use with airbrush, it is vey nice to see them again in action in
your wonderful handwriting
Hi Kristina (hope I spelt that right!) I'm what you call a ''Newbie''! I taught are art for years, taught preschool for years as well. But now that I'm retired, there are so many huge changes in the art field - I'm blown away! All these different Mixed Media's. Color bursts, Gelli plates, so many ways to use waters colors. It makes me a bit overwhelmed, but I cannot wait to really get into all my painting again. I just watched you video and was so captivated at how well you presented yourself, explained thoroughly and gave us a wealth of your knowledge to share. Thank you so much. I will continue to follow you. And If I ever have any questions, I'll be sure to blot them down for you, if that would be all right. Your Calligraphy is outstanding. I've been doing it for years on and off - need to start practicing to get back into it. I'm a 'Lefty' so it's not as easy in a right-hand world.
You are a very talented young gal. Keep up the good work!! ~Maeve~
am I the only obsessed with her handwriting? like on the color chart XD
Helen Wang Nope, you're definitely not alone, Helen. All I could think after Kristina finished the lid label was, "...oh, my gosh - that is so freakin' pretty!" I just love her handwriting. I can spot her stamps and dies now a mile away. lol!
Janice P Ellis Yeah I cannot imagine how she got that beautiful writing. She probably practiced but hghghgh it's gorgeous! Can you imagine an essay she would've wrote?
I know! And, she makes it seem so effortless! It's absolutely beautiful!
I really enjoyed watching you create with these colors! Very soothing and Helen you are definitely not the only envious one of the handwriting!
I could sit here and watch you for hours! (Actually, I have but don't tell my husband!) I also appreciate how you explain not only what products or tools you are using - but also why and the overall objective. I am analytical by nature so it truly helps to know the objective and the "why". My niece is a phenomenal artist (at the ripe ol' age of 20!) and she has started brush lettering as have I. I am NOT an artist by any means, but we can connect on lettering and I love that. Thank you so much for your generosity of sharing your talent. Keep up the wonderful work!
I been watching your videos for a year now, and I'm still super jealous at your hand writing, like you're hand writing goals.
I could watch you paint all day. And it is helpful to 'see' the though process when you were planning on how to organize the colors in the ice cube tray. Love your talent - thank you for sharing!
What a nice, informative video. I've used Dr Ph Martin Hydrus liquid watercolors, but demonstrating how you set them up in that cute ice cube tray and how you used them with your water pens was so helpful and interesting to watch. Your calligraphy is beautiful. Thanks for making this video.
I have been tossing around the idea of these watercolors for years. But once I got my hands on Daniel smith it was over. For white watercolor when I swatch mine out I use a black sharpie and draw a fat line in the middle of the square to show its opacity. Lovely quote and stunning handwriting as always
Ah Kristina you little enabler you 😉, these look lovely. I have to keep reminding myself that I don't know how to hand letter! I am sure they would be great for lots of things, but unless I can learn to letter I won't let myself buy another watercolor medium. . . Lol! I love watching you work, you make it look so easy, and I know it isn't and that you worked hard to become as good as you are, but it is almost meditative to watch you letter, thanks for sharing these yummy water colors and the idea of the ice cube tray palette (genius).
I just ordered these...actually two sets.... I'm pretty sure that you used them on your recent freezer paper video... Love the vibrancy of these colors. Can't wait to play.
+carissawiley I hope you're loving them! I used a different watercolor set for that video, but the Hydrus colors are awesome, too!
Your work never ceases to amaze me!
Those colors are beautiful and your handwriting is beautiful!
Total Wow factor!! Gold embossing those leaves really set the tone, made the watercolor just pop.
Great video/tutorial!
I have the Radiant Watercolors from Dr. Ph. Martens. They are 1/2 oz. bottles and come in sets of 14. As you said, they are about the same price as the Hydrus Watercolors. The main difference between these, that I can decipher in this video, is the transparency. The Hydrus Watercolors seem to have a chalky or fogged look to them; whereas, the Radiant Watercolors are definitely translucent. This seems to come through a little bit when painting. I would say the Hydrus Watercolors would appear a bit muted next to the Radiant. However, that is not a downside. For handlettering and such, I think either would hold up perfectly. As for actual paintings, the Radiants have the potential to appear too bold and bright. Both look great, and I'm looking forward to working with watercolor more. I just may have to pick up a set of the Hydrus and test them out myself.
I was freaking out because you dropped so much color in the ice cube maker thingy... those expensive colors! ... Then I noticed that you can close it - that calmed me :D
Thank you Kristina for all the information about these water colors...
Loved the drawing and painting..
OMG! your handwriting is to die for! ^^
I took a card class last year and we used these. They're in my wish list.
Cool idea of ice box palette, pretty useful
I like your messages of friendship and loyalty and express oneself with this beautiful scripture.THANK YOU
Seriously so beautiful.
lovely colorful handwriting ☺
Wow! Your practicing created stunning results!
Did anyone else think of Bob Ross when they saw Phthalo (or pthalo) blue and green ...i watched a weeklong marathon of old reruns and im feeling nostalgic lol
Hello Lovely! I watched half of this video a few nights ago, and then today I went to Michaels armed with a 60% off coupon and got this exact set for $32+tax. Now I’m watching the part or the video where you actually paint and I’m so excited to use these I can hardly stand it!!!! Thank you for the video!
Your lettering is so pretty!!!!
I Like the look of this product and how the colour stays consistent, I could watch you do brush lettering for hours! Lovely :)
tim Holtz has a great 36 pan ink tray that will fit all of the Hydrus colors. Thats what I use. Thanks for the Video!!
Just ordered all 3 sets of the hydrus! I can't wait to use them!
I love liquid watercolor has alot intensity
Loved this video, your work is absolutely stunning and amazing! It is a humbling thing to see someone so well versed in their chosen craft that they make it look so easy and natural.
Wow Kristina this is wonderful! Thank you. I just bought these paints! So excited to try them! Your lettering is exquisite! TFS
Beautiful watercolors! And I just saw a video where someone used that Finetec gold palette and I'm drooling over it!! TFS, Heather
I love how pigmented the letters came out to be - great stuff :)
REALLY enjoyed your video, Kristina! Now I'm intrigued! Great idea using that ice cube tray. Lovely video, as always.
These paints look amazing,Im thinking about buying them,but furst I want to get the icecube trays for sure,Very good idea,I just started painting in watercolors and I love it,its so nuch fun,Thanks,....
amazing calligraphy!
the airtight container is a good find, I use regular icecubes, and altough the fluid ecoline from talens dries up they re hydrate again if you add water
Your lettering is AMAZING!
Thank you for sharing! I was trying to purchase these on amazon & their descriptions with what the colors look like are so lacking! I came here to try and figure out which set to buy & found you so I used your links! :) I am excited to try them!
I use yogurt jars of oui a French yoghurt and the little glass jars are perfect for mix and having different shades
Omg your handwriting is amaaazzzziiinnnggg
ikrrrr ON POINT looks like a font
it's really beautiful !!
Very helpful! I enjoy your style, and your calligraphy is lovely.
This sounds like something I'll put on my Christmas list!! Thanks for the video!
These look so bright and cheerful. I was thinking the Tim Holtz mixing pallets would be good for these and something smaller. I also love the other colors of these. Hard to pick just one.
great video! when working with high grade watercolors is best to use a porcelain dish or porcelain watercolor palette for dipping and mixing paints. you'll see a dramatic difference.
+studioarthead I already have one. The ice cube tray has been working out pretty well, especially for brush lettering. For traditional painting or when I want to mix colors, I use a palette.
Kristina, only you could make the colour swatch look beautiful!
so cool this watercolour 😍
Very informative and helpful. I have every watercolor medium out there and was debating about this, but now I MUST have them...when you do your cardmaking video on these, can you show how you'd do some mixing of the colors? Thank you!
Love that wash! So tempting!
Awesome tutorial and review of this product. I love to watercolor paint, actually using coffee in place of water. These paints would be lots of fun to use for the type of painting that I do. Thank you, K Werner!
Do you know Ana Victoria Calderon? She is an mexican artist that does amazing job at lettering and use this medium, search for her as anavictoriana, check her out she is good!
MelissaGo. Awesome! Thanks for the recommendation!
MelissaGo. I knew these looked familiar! I love her work!
I love this! I will buy my own one! and I love your handwriting! ☺😊
I'm such an amateur LOL. I have watched a few of your videos, as well as others, swatching the colours and I kept wondering what the method to the madness about the order in which you're colouring the swatches. I just got it !!!! Can't wait to get my watercolours and start playing.
Great video!! I actually have 21 of the Radiants and looove them. I prefer the more intense pigmentation of the radiants. Thanks for sharing!!
Lauri
I loove ur videos. Am not great at writting or making things looks good, but I love your imagination and all the great things you do on all ur videos. Keep up the great work, your truely inspiring😊

You have beautiful writing...loved this video...thanks for sharing :)
love this! Thanks for your videos! They are SO helpful! You're an inspiration to me!
this might be strange but you have a really friendly voice and i love all the colours so this was just really calming to watch... :)
A little bit expensive for me but the colors are amazing. If I could I would buy for sure!
Your writing is so beutiful! :0
great handwriting
I use these for watercolouring. (Seriously, can we ever have too many different watercolour sets?) 😍
Awesome video, Kristina !! Wonder if these would work with the Crayola Marker maker to make your own Ph. Martin watercolor markers ??
I had to subscribe after watching this video! Lovely lettering!
Could you please do a tutorial on how you do the brush lettering? I've tried to find one on TH-cam (from you or someone else), I couldn't get any. But if you have done one before, what is it called? Thank you!
"What's one more?" I like the way you think! ;)
I have never been interested in brush lettering....until now!
These Hydrus water colors look so fun, knowing me I will get this all over me! Lol it's just my nature that's all. 🤗
You'r writing are beautiful! :3
can you show your lettering collections ? like your pens? watercolors and others? i really want to see your collection
Very beautiful, but where would you store the liquid watercolors (in the ice tray) without them spilling?
I've wondered about these when I see them in the arts store. They look like fun. But frankly I thought they would be more vibrant.
kmcorby The Radiant line is more vibrant, I think. I watered mine down a bit, too.
I just got these n love them
I would kill for that handwriting XD seriously though, I've never seen better handwriting. Imagine an essay or novel hand-written :3
Beautiful! I thought for some reason these were india inks! Thanks for the great review, just beautiful Kristina!
Those guys can solidify
OMG, I felt in love with this technique, thank you soooo much. Ciao from Firenze =)
I know that I will be wanting to buy more and try the Bombay inks so I will be sure to use your link next time I purchase through amazon🙌🏻
You could easily use the droppers to suck out some of the pigment and return it to your bottles.
Have you ever used food dye to paint? it's super cool.
just love your writing, sooo beautiful :-) x
Great tutorial, thank you!
love this idea, I have the Bombay India ink set and wanted to make a travel set BUT they dry out so I am thinking of using perfume sample bottles and make a kit. wish I got the watercolor instead of India ink but thats ok
Wow!! You should share the secret for your great handwriting!!
It makes me so pleased when you write because you have very beautiful handwriting that is always even on the page like not going uphill or downhill. My handwriting is tiny and stiff looking but yours is pretty and swirly across the page. I'd like to know, is that you're natural handwriting or did you practice??? +K Werner Design
When you were moving the palette (is it an ice cube tray) the consistency of liquid watercolors kind of reminded me of half set jello and i was like woah thats awesome
lovely...
this may sound weird, but i absolutely loved the writing that you did. (i have no idea what it may be called professionally ) it sooths my soul lol. i have handwriting so terrible my teacher used to return my paper >.
Love your quotes!! 😊❤️
When these are in the tray, will they dry up like palettes and just need a little water to reactivate or would you reactivate it to all liquid?
Would it be possible to do a comparison of the radiant and hydrus with the dr. Ph Martin Bombay ink? I would think the Bombay ink would be best for lettering- although the demos of the radiant and hydrus looks great.
Which adhesive are you using in this video? A link would be awesome! Thanks:) awesome video
Hey Kristina, Just wondering if you still like these watercolours? I really like my watercolours to be transparent and bright... do these fit the bill? Or have you found other inks/watercolours that you prefer?
Advice welcome.
Thanks Cathy
beautiful
You are amazing!!! I love your writing it's flawless. Can you please tell me what kind that brush pen u were using is and where I can get it at?
Sorry i found the brush in ur comment section. U are so amazing keep making videos please
