OOOOOOH YES. I was looking at these on Jackson's site but there were like.....no reviews. Can always count on Teoh to come through in the clutch with an honest appraisal! TEOH HOW IS ນ້ອຍໆ TIFFANY
The thing I love about these pigment based liquid watercolors is that finally I can have a lightfast marker using their empty liners. I also used them inside a technical pen, paint marker and a water brush with good results. With a drop of water they flow right out of my rotring isograph tech pen, and while not waterproof, they are all pretty staining due to the super finely ground pigment particles. I've seen a few reviews now use them like normal watercolors, but I think you might appreciate the pen or marker application too? For those who like mixed media art it's easier to use these for airbrush and spray bottles than normal watercolors as well.
Glad to see this review Teoh. I’ve been curious about liquid watercolor . I don’t think it’s something I would use. But it can be very useful to sketchers. Thanks for all you do. Stay well, stay home .
I really like this product and own the full range. Here in Germany the price is around 5 Euros online and around 6 Euros in my local art shop. I like to paint mandalas and like to layer patterns over washes, so I use a fine brush with these colors to get some details. It is easier to get an even application compared to normal watercolors.
I’m so glad I’ve gotten myself out of the “ buy all art supplies “ rutt 🙋🏻♀️ . I love your sketches so much , I really need to start developing my own style 🤔 ! Thank you for sharing today !
I got some of these recently and was glad to see your video. I am using these to paint big size backgrounds -in the studio. Not a portable medium...unless you try the refillable markers, which I havent triwd yet. I like that these are pigment based (unlike Ecoline and PHMartin, which are dye based). Good to see hownyou are using these.
These are available at Cheap Joe's in the US now. Be warned that someone is selling the sets of 5 for $100 on Amazon versus like $45 on Cheap Joe's. Individual colors are $8, as of June 2021.
Always an informative product review, Thanks. I'm glad you included pigment info, I always look at that before buying, I only use pigments that have the better lightfast ratings and try to use single pigment color. Wow, those look like fun, I enjoyed watching your "painting technique" demo also!
I absolutely adore the way you are painting. It reminds me of "color writing" (I couldn't find equal phrase in english) which is a literature theory term in my language. I've read a book where author heavily used this style of "color writing" in his work, where he described environment and emotions in shapes and blocks of color.
Thank you for the review I find it very helpful, I want to try use the black or other dark color in the brush marker and make lighter shades with water brush for quick outdoor sketching..
These Aqua Drops should look like PH Martin liquid watercolour. I noticed while painting with it that the colors were so bright when wet and rather dull when dry unlike the Horadam paints. To add shine, I had to use the Horadam paints to brighten it all up. They also have a tendency to disperse to colours that are already applied and dry. And forget repentance, these colors don't fade easily or at all. It's something you have to learn to work with. However, I imagine that with an air brush and fine liners it should bring out its qualities.
They work really well in the empty liner markers they offer. When I used them I filled 3 markers, one with yellow, one with magenta and one with blue and was able to have some fun with layering colors. They are all very staining, and unlike dye based markers, these pigments don't blend well so a different approach is needed for marker coloring than with other products.
did you try koh-i-noor opaque watercolor paint wheel? it is cheaper then winsor & newton and i think it give a similar result in pigment i didnt try them but there are people saying this on youtube
This is pigment based, liquid watercolor. The white has thicker pigment particles than the other aqua drop colors, so seems borderline gel-like with its consistency. The colors other than white can be used like ink to fill empty markers and technical pens, if you consider "ink" purely as a liquid for writing. Though all of them are just a touch on the heavier creamy side, eased by a couple drops of water to help them flow if used on a dip pen.
I really like its even application, vividness and opaqueness. I wonder if, stroke for stroke, it is more or less than tubes? Are things getting back to business there, Teoh? We are having fun here in the states!
I saw them online but I still have a question about the Aqua Drop. Is it possible to reactivate them once they are dry? I would try them anyway. I have some Schmincke Horadam watercolors that I still use. I wonder if they will release a Cobalt Turquoise/Teal color for their Aqua Drop Line.
It's unlikely about the cobalt, as these have to be very finely ground pigments for liquid state and I think they may be avoiding all granulating/sediment colors as well as some toxic ones. I have demonstrated their use from dry, as well as in pens and markers in my video review if you're looking for more information. They had a nice perk of being able to be applied in very thin drops to a palette, so the option for a super thin travel palette is there. Once dry, unlike tubes, they don't require a pan to hold them - they can stick to any surface such as a thin pool on a credit card even. I easily reactivated them with a wet brush. On paper is a different story though, they are all very staining partly due to how fine the pigment particles are.
At the end of video when he tried to "lift" the color, it didn't work to well. Some came off, but not much so they are fairly staining colors. I would guess they aren't the best to reactivate maybe better to glaze with them. (Paint a transparent layer over the color you want to change.)
It would be fun to see you try out airbrushing - the tool was invented for watercolours after all and almost no airbrushing videos on TH-cam look into its fine art application.
has anyone here tried using a paperlike or matte screen protector on the tab s6? i was looking to buy one on amazon but idk if i should buy a different stylus so that my s pen nibs wont wear down.
The white is too thick, it has a warning on the bottle and on the markers not to use the white or it will clog. The yellow however works wonderfully. I filled 3 liners to test them out, a yellow, magenta and a blue marker, and they were really fun to play with for layering secondary colors.
I use diluted liquid watercolor with a glass dip pen when I want very fine lines in my paintings. It works very well for that.
Kathy Larson I’d like to see Teoh do this :)

Kimberly Crick Art What amazing ideas to use these!
Thank you for always giving the pigment information!

I use liquid watercolor in addition to regular watercolor to add a more intense color on top. 🙂

I ❤️ Schminke
You think of everything we'd want to know. I really like that you pointed out the pigment and how they don't necessarily match the tube colours. 😊
Tried these liquid watercolours with my airbrush and they work beautiful! You can achive very fine detail when you use these with an airbrush :)
exactly what i wanted t know🙏🏾
They look great, I'll consider trying this set out! Thanks!
Been looking at getting these for a while, thanks for the review
Those were nice, the purple was really nice. Not too expensive either
I received a full set from Schmincke today, I won a prize. The video was very interesting and I look forward to trying them
I heard the aqua drop uses pigments unlike other similar products, which uses dyes, which help the lightfastness of the paints
Dr. Ph. Martin's Hydrus colours are pigment-based. The Radiant line, which is cheaper, is dye based.

I need that white!
Great artwork
wow, those are really pretty!
Thank you for the review I find it very helpful, I want to try use the black or other dark color in the brush marker and make lighter shades with water brush for quick outdoor sketching..
I was wondering if there was pigmented liquid watercolors, instead of inked ones, thanks a bunch for reviewing these!!!

I would love to see this in markers

I was looking for a new product to play around with. I’ve shied away from liquid water color but I think I might check these out
where is that adorable tiny porcelain palette from?? so cute!!
If you are from Singapore you can buy it at Straits Art for less than S$10.
did you try koh-i-noor opaque watercolor paint wheel? it is cheaper then winsor & newton and i think it give a similar result in pigment i didnt try them but there are people saying this on youtube
I've not tried that before
@@teohyc OK
They may be cheaper because pigments are not as good, it really pays to consider and learn about the pigments you use.
Is this ink or watercolor, the colors are nice, the white seems thicker

Are things getting back to business there, Teoh? We are having fun here in the states!
Not sure if this will last longer than the tubes.

I wondered about these! Not bad! Also, is that palette you used porcelain and if so, where did you get it? Thank you!❤️
What brush do you use there?
has anyone here tried using a paperlike or matte screen protector on the tab s6?
i was looking to buy one on amazon but idk if i should buy a different stylus so that my s pen nibs wont wear down.
I don’t think the yellow or the white will work well in markers, but I’m just guessing
The white is too thick, it has a warning on the bottle and on the markers not to use the white or it will clog. The yellow however works wonderfully. I filled 3 liners to test them out, a yellow, magenta and a blue marker, and they were really fun to play with for layering secondary colors.
Looks fun but not convenient. Don't want to tote bottles of color around to stain.
Which brush are you using?
White and black cannot be used in markets, they are to thick.
