**VIDEO+GIVEAWAY** Detail Coloring w/ Metallic Watercolors

October 28, 2019

Happy Monday! I am overly excited about today’s project because I finally got to play with a highly, highly anticipated watercoloring medium from Altenew!

Altenew came out with an oh-so-lovely metallic watercolor pan set that everyone needs to have in their coloring medium collection. The pigments are amazingly intense, and the colors are beautifully coordinated. They are also creamy and opaque, lovely to work with on various projects.

I had so much fun creating today’s card and cannot wait to share the details!

Let’s start with a full step-by-step video tutorial. I explain what I did to color in the above images with the metallic watercolor set.

 

This is not really a hard project to create, just need to take some time to color in those outlined images with a fine watercolor brush. I highly suggest giving it a try, especially when you need some time to relax and focus on creating something that brings you joy.

Here are some closed up project photos:

So lovely – these look like they are more densely pigmented than the metallic watercolours I have. I love the thick colour coverage and intensity of colour you have on your card, on the black cardstock – stunning! I must have this set!

    58-60/60 Today’s Color(s) - Pearlescent White, Industrial Antique Silver, Iridescent Gold

Last swatches of my custom palettes featuring Daniel Smith Watercolors 💕 These last three metallic watercolors were little tricky to show on the usual flower swatches so I opted to the square swatch cards. Pearlescent white is a lovely white shimmery color, ill be sharing a project painted on a black paper in the near future. Silver and Gold are metallic staples so I wanted to make sure to include at least one of each. Ill be sharing how these look overlapped with other solid colors on different projects!

Thank you for following me on this watercolor swatch journey so far! I surely hope you enjoyed seeing all the colors and hope these inspired you in a creative way! Thank you for all your likes and comments! 🥰🥰🥰

    57/60 Today’s Color - Kyanite Genuine

Today is the last day of sharing fully colored swatches, and this lovely grey color is the finishing color of the swatch collection. Tomorrow ill be sharing three metallic colors with mini swatches so the colors are shown better. This shade is a pretty cool toned grey that ive come to enjoy a lot when working with it. It has a subtle shimmer just like other #danielsmithprimatek colors. It also creates wonderful monochromatic look 🖤

    56/50 Today’s Color - Burnt Bronzite Genuine

This lovely neutral brown comes with soft, amazing shimmers and is a part of #danielsmithprimatek collection. The granulation adds even more texture to this earthy color, allowing you to get more interests when coloring/painting!

Another choice of mine from #danielsmithluminescentwatercolors 😍 This hue has a lovely reflection of ruby color with lots of tiny shimmers. Its granulation adds a lot to the texture as well.

    51/60 Today’s Color - Amethyst Genuine 

Im excited to share the first #danielsmithprimatek color from my palette! Primatick colors have a lovely subtle shimmers came from the stones the pigments are made of. They are subtle but adds a nice touch! This lovely cool gray purple pigment has pretty shimmers throughout, tho it is hard to catch it on camera. If you see tiny dots in the 2nd pictures, those are the shimmers im referring to! Oh so lovely 💕
