This was a very interesting presentation, but you left out so much. Granted you gave me new ideas. I wish you had spent a little more time on your thinking about combining the shimmer with the hupershift. The hyper-shifters are so amazingly expensive! I'm experimenting with adding phase shift powder to my less expensive camelion shifters in hopes of increasing vibrancy.
It would have been great to see you swatch the colors at the end. Especially because you said you were doing 2 experiments, one was a smaller micron and the other was the added, iridescence color shift powder. So you should have showed us if it turned out. You could have done a comparison with your old batch with the larger micron and this new one side by side, so we could see the difference too. Same with the added powder, show us normal chameleon paint, against this new one. We would like to learn what it does too. Now I feel like I didnt learn anything, and I'm left with more questions than I started with. And all I got to do was watch you stir pretty paint .. 😔 Thanks for sharing..
Thank you so much for your feedback. Back then, I made a shorts video with the swatches however I forgot to include it in this video. I’m sorry about that. Next time I’ll keep this in my mind so that it helps you see how it turned out. Here are the swatches if you’re still interested, instagram.com/reel/CVvuVTZl2kv/?igsh=Y3V5cjg5Z3U3dHBp Hope you have a wonderful day 😍
@@crafterine Thank you for replying, it's 4 months later but I guess its better than never. I did go and swatch video you attached, and in all honesty they just look like chameleon water paints. I think if you would have shown the purple, blue one dry and different angles, we would have been able to see what the added color shift you added, did to it. Personally I don't think its a proper, here's the outcome video. 😪 Thanks for showing it to me anyways.
Love it! They are so beautiful! I would like to try out your recipe. Do you mind sharing a link with us where you got the pigments from? I'm not sure if i found the right one.
Beautiful...do we only use color shift pigment for these that u have demonstrated..also it would be great if u can put your ingredients on the video so we can jot it down..this demo was amazing 👏..thank u love it .
Thank you very much. I really appreciate your time. I’ll include it in the upcoming videos. You can also checkout the full tutorial of paint making on another video 😃
Thank you so much! I'm new to making watercolors. I'm curious, have you tried adding non-iridescent whites to other pigments to make them more opaque or visible on black paper? Or maybe pearlescent whites? I purchased some great and shiney pigments but I'm disappointed that they don't seem to show up on black paper as brightly as the paints I've previously purchased premade.
I found a website called EyeCandyPigments but I'm not 100% if these are the same pigments that can be used to make paints. I'm also trying to figure out where to get this stuff. 😂
Looking forward to when you will supply to UK . Please keep me informed . Great videos and very helpful . Can I ask where you buy your half pans please as well as others asked the pigments ? thanks
I’m working on opening up my shop to more countries. I’ve been sourcing pigments from local places here in Germany, some from Ebay, Etsy, Temu etc. I’m sure you can find some of these online 🥰❤️
Is the white powder you use the same as the iridescent shiny powder for nails...and does it have shades, or is it another powder? I'm trying to find it in Aliexpress, but I found many types of powders like White Mica Pearl Powder or Iridescent Bulk Nail Glitter Powder White!?...Idk
@@crafterine sanırım videolarınızı izleyerek kendim yapmayı öğrenmek zorundayım çünkü şu an Avrupa'da yaşamıyorum 😅 emeğinize sağlık, videolarınız mükemmel💎💎💎
The binder is specifically made for watercolours and can be used to an extent for gouache. To make regular paints like acrylics, I found an acrylic binder on Amazon, that should work 🙂
In this video, I’m using a pigment which is really really tiny. Like 5-10 micrometers. So it turns into super fine paints without grains. I feel honey makes the paint smoother so I do use it, but I also use glycerin in my binder too 😃
Thank you for your interest in buying them. It means a lot to me. Unfortunately these are out of stock right now, but you can see my shop @crafterine on Etsy, if you find any other watercolors interesting 😄
It looks really awesome. I want to ask something. What is the name of the material you added at 0:37 seconds? Where do you procure it from? Can you share the link please. Thank you in advance for your kind reply.
for the preservatives, I would use : 1. Thyme oil or clove oil 2. Sodium benzoate 3. Oxgal (non-vegan) 4. Synthetic Ox Gall (vegan) I hope this helps :)
I believe only on papers since they are watercolors and might be tough to hold onto other surfaces. I have tried on air dry clay, but they weren’t as vibrant as on paper
Hi crafterine, 3 months ago I made watercolor paints, sticking to your videos. I would like to ask if you know what could be the reason why they are still soft and sticky. I live in Denmark but no matter how humid it is, isn't that a long time to dry? Thanks!
Hey! Thank you for supporting my channel ☺️. If it's soft and sticky, I would reduce the amount of honey I added into the binder. I hope it works out for you too. You can also alternate honey with glycerine too.
You can dry it in a paint pan or in a small container. You can use your old unused palette too 🎨 . After it is dry, you can rewet the paint and use it like regular watercolours

All my pigments are locally sourced from a small business here in Germany. I do not sell any pigments, but I did find a few on Amazon. I also prefer to mix them to create new shades
Absolutely! I've mentioned the materials and also the proportions in another video which is available in the playlist of handmade watercolors. I hope that helps you :)
Fun video and gorgeous colors 😍, where do you recommend buying such pigments to experiment? And as far as binder goes, do you also use Gum Arabic and glycerine? For a beginner it is hard tp figure out what ratio (recipe) to use. Btw I liked a few of your paint making videos, thank you! 🎨
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it. It does take a while to catch hold of suppliers of pigments. However, i figured that Amazon and eBay do have mica pigments being sold. If you're starting out, i can recommend one of my other paint making videos where I make a bronze color with the right ratios that worked for me. I hope you find that useful :)
hey , my paints gets hard once they dry in pans and takes more time to get activate I'm confuse what to add and what to not ? should i add more gum arabic powder?
Hardness of the paint might be higher if you have more gum arabic than required. To give the paints less activation time, I would add honey/glycerine to it. If you're working with mineral pigments, you can always try oxgall too

Wow 😮❤ such beautiful pigments
Thank you very much 😍
The blue green lilac is the color of my Denali, Bluberi 💙
Absolutely! Beautiful observation 😍
Absolutely beautiful! I’ll definitely have to try this with my own chameleon colors. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏻🤗
I'm so happy you find it useful :) ..have fun !
@@crafterine subscribed!
The pigment company should do a deal with you to link their products and you get a commission, bc I would love to buy these pigments
How beautifully relaxing just to watch….. so soothing. Thank you.
Thank you so much ❤️

Please do can share all the stuff I need, including equipment to the pigments, and what store I can buy those? Thank you, I love your videos
Thank you so much! I fetch them online or nearby sometimes
what is the white powder ypu add after mixing the mica powder and binder ??
It’s called an iridescent colorshifting pigment
Might try and see if it works for making oil paint
I believe oil paints need a different binder medium. Let me know how it turns out ✨

I just use nail polish, though you can't get it in large quantity and the fumes aren't great..
I had the same trouble but overtime I realised that there are few sellers who sell really vibrant iridescent pigments, but they are really expensive.
Wow, that's awesome! I make a watercolor paint too and I think it's so relaxing.😚
I'm glad you love the process too ❤️ ... Thank you so much for supporting my channel :)
Hi, thanks for the video.. can u pls share link of the glass mixer
You’re welcome. Here’s the link I bought it from
amzn.eu/d/fsBq7Xt
Where do you buy your pigments, I see so many people using these color shifters but can never quite track down where your suppose to buy them
Look up on the internet
I found a website called EyeCandyPigments but I'm not 100% if these are the same pigments that can be used to make paints.
I'm also trying to figure out where to get this stuff. 😂
@@KrissyMeow--Amazon site
Hi, why do you not deliver to UK. I tried to order on your Etsy shop but was told you do not deliver to UK.
At the moment, we only ship within Europe. Maybe in the future, we might expand ✨
@@crafterine thanks

Hello i’m from
India can you tell what liquid you used to blend it
Is the white powder you use the same as the iridescent shiny powder for nails...and does it have shades, or is it another powder?
I'm trying to find it in Aliexpress, but I found many types of powders like White Mica Pearl Powder or Iridescent Bulk Nail Glitter Powder White!?...Idk
Omg I could watch you for hours! Do you sell your products?
Thank you so much 🥰 ... We do sell our products on Etsy , however, at the moment, only within Europe :)

Nice
Thank you ! :)
These are beautiful! This might be a silly question, but can these be used like regular paint & not just for watercolor?
The binder is specifically made for watercolours and can be used to an extent for gouache. To make regular paints like acrylics, I found an acrylic binder on Amazon, that should work 🙂
@@crafterine ok and how would I use that binder? Would I have to order pigment power and add the binder, or can I add the binder to these?
Yes. Those binders are available, you can directly add them to pigments. I haven’t experimented that side of it, so I can’t really say 😊
where do you get them in thesew quantities ?
These are only 5g packs. I source them from a local supplier
I want to make metellic colour please tell me what are indregrents?
I have another video on how to make handmade watercolors. I'm sure that it has everything you need to know ☺️
Is honey better than Glycerine with metallic and colour shift pigments. I notice they seemed less grainy than the matte colours?
In this video, I’m using a pigment which is really really tiny. Like 5-10 micrometers. So it turns into super fine paints without grains. I feel honey makes the paint smoother so I do use it, but I also use glycerin in my binder too 😃
Bonjour.
L effet est superbe !
C'est quoi la poudre blanche que vous mettez pour faire l effet cameleon svp?
Can I purchase these paints from you ..wow ...
Thank you for your interest in buying them. It means a lot to me. Unfortunately these are out of stock right now, but you can see my shop @crafterine on Etsy, if you find any other watercolors interesting 😄
It looks really awesome. I want to ask something. What is the name of the material you added at 0:37 seconds? Where do you procure it from? Can you share the link please. Thank you in advance for your kind reply.
What essential oils do you use? Thank you for sharing your process!
for the preservatives, I would use :
1. Thyme oil or clove oil
2. Sodium benzoate
3. Oxgal (non-vegan)
4. Synthetic Ox Gall (vegan)
I hope this helps :)
What surfaces can these be applied to?
I believe only on papers since they are watercolors and might be tough to hold onto other surfaces. I have tried on air dry clay, but they weren’t as vibrant as on paper
Did you create some of the colour changing effect by mixing few colours? X
Absolutely amazing effect. Love your color combinations. 😍
You need to get specialized color shifting pigment to get that effect.
Sadly, no. Mixing 2 colors creates a new colour. You would need Chameleon pigments for the color changing effect 🥰
What do you do to dry them after you prepare them?
I let it dry naturally. It takes a longer time but it’s alright for me
What is the white powder your adding?
It’s called iridescent pigment, or ghost pigment 😊
Hi crafterine,
3 months ago I made watercolor paints, sticking to your videos. I would like to ask if you know what could be the reason why they are still soft and sticky. I live in Denmark but no matter how humid it is, isn't that a long time to dry? Thanks!
Hey! Thank you for supporting my channel ☺️.
If it's soft and sticky, I would reduce the amount of honey I added into the binder. I hope it works out for you too. You can also alternate honey with glycerine too.
Could you let us know how much honey, essential oil and binder to put?
About 1/2 tsp of honey in 100 ml binder. 2-3 drops of essential oil, while making each paint
@@crafterine and how many grams of shimmer?
I use 5 grams of mica powder, and maybe add 10 ml of binder, sometimes 15 ml based on the consistency 🥰
What is name of 2nd powder which shift colour ?
It’s called interference Color shifting pigment
It’s called iridescent colorshift pigments
When make this pigment then how we dry and how use on paper
You can dry it in a paint pan or in a small container. You can use your old unused palette too 🎨 . After it is dry, you can rewet the paint and use it like regular watercolours

Wanted to knw which powder u added to gt colorist dual colour tone...thank you
It's a chameleon pigment that i used here
Your colours are amazing! Can you please tell me where did you buy the pigments from? Or do you sell them? I would love them! ❤️😍
All my pigments are locally sourced from a small business here in Germany. I do not sell any pigments, but I did find a few on Amazon. I also prefer to mix them to create new shades
Mam can u say the correct proportion of mixing it would be more help your work is awesome
Absolutely! I've mentioned the materials and also the proportions in another video which is available in the playlist of handmade watercolors. I hope that helps you :)
Would this be the same type of pigments used to make nail polish?
Yes it is
Fun video and gorgeous colors 😍, where do you recommend buying such pigments to experiment? And as far as binder goes, do you also use Gum Arabic and glycerine? For a beginner it is hard tp figure out what ratio (recipe) to use. Btw I liked a few of your paint making videos, thank you! 🎨

Are they lightfast?
Yes. Again, it depends on the pigments. You can always ask the seller for the lightfast measure of the pigments
What is that white powder u have used. In between
It's an iridescent chameleon powder. It appears subtle on white paper but has a vibrant colorshift on black paper :)
@@crafterine hi, thank you so much for sharing this. The color.of this iridescent powder is white when it is used alone?
Yes 🙌
Hi! Just wanted to ask that where do you get these materials from?
I purchase some of the materials online and most of the pigments from a nearby small business 😊
@@crafterine Thanks! Could you tell me what small business is this? I am also interested in making such beautiful watercolors!
It’s called Cats&Dogs pigments
hey , my paints gets hard once they dry in pans and takes more time to get activate I'm confuse what to add and what to not ? should i add more gum arabic powder?
Hardness of the paint might be higher if you have more gum arabic than required. To give the paints less activation time, I would add honey/glycerine to it. If you're working with mineral pigments, you can always try oxgall too
What the powder is?
It’s called chameleon pigments
Hiii! Is it possible to make metallic ink!? Can you tell me how ?
I haven't tried making any. I'd love to learn a little about that too
What was the liquid thing??oil??
It’s clove oil , to help the paint have a longer shelf life 🙂
what phone do u have?
I use Pixel 4a to film my TH-cam videos :)
Can u tell what are the raw materials ?
There's another video on my channel about the making of watercolors. There's an entire playlist too. I hope you find it helpful ☺️
