Two of my packages for handmade watercolors came in! It was a nice surprise on what has been a very blah day. Depression is flaring up, along with procrastination and lost meds, so...fun. Anyway, paint.


Watercolors-Handmade




The ones on the left are Florentine Green and Red Earth from Poems About You. The ones on the right are Texas Dandelion, Avocado Sienna, and Privet Indigo Fusion. The Avocado one was actually a free gift with my order, a generous half pan full!

The Poems About You one came adorably packaged, and I was super impressed with how neat the half pans were. Labelled, perfectly filled, few air bubbles. In contrast, the Texas Wild Color ones were messy, with paint spilled on the pans, and sticky. I was warned they'd be sticky, though, and don't mind the messy at all. Both styles seemed to match the branding of both companies.

They all re-wet beautifully and I am head over heels for the Dandelion one. I loved it on his store, but it's even prettier in person. 

After swatching them, I went and swatched the paints I made a couple of weeks ago. The matte ones are perfect. The mica ones need a little more work to re-wet, but still pretty good. The glitter ones...need some TLC. I'm going to have to tweak their recipe, I'm thinking up the glycerin and see if that makes them easier. I know glitter paints in general take a lot more work to re-wet, but this is ridiculous.

Ohhhh, nice colors! I love the Dandelion one, too! Which pigment is it? (I'm interested in the lightfastness...)

That sounds lovely! Not something I'd buy (I'm actually interested in having my original paintings survive) but a lovely concept nevertheless.
