Coliro Artist Mica Pearl Watercolor Paint, M770 Candy (6 Color Set) by Finetec GmbH

Si pones mucha agua se pueden hacer más transparentes, si no, cubren muchísimo con unos colores muy brillantes.

The paint was very rich in color and application was great.

Absolutely beautiful, bought these as a gift to myself. The paints are just lovely to watch. First you should wet the paints for a minute before use, as per instructions on Coliro's website. The paints then can be layered very thickly onto the paper, which produces an opaque metallic shine with great colour. You can also paint them as thin watercolour layers, where the colour is very muted but the shine looks great. One of the paints in this set is purely a "sparkle" paint, so there is little to no colour with it, it is just a silver sparkle paint "Stardust". See my pictures (the grey blob to the side is not part of this set). At the bottom I had some orangey cotman watercolour swatch testing, and I layered some of the "Stardust" paint over it to see how it would look. Cotman watercolours reactivate very very easily so you can see some lifting there, but the effect is still really nice if you wanted to paint as normal and then have some sparkle layers on top. This was tested on Bockingford cold press. A note that the blue especially can look somewhat grey in a thin layer, but in the light it comes up very blue again. I think these paints work best either applied as a thick layer, or probably as the final layer on top of a work painted with non-metallic paints.

Ich habe nach brillianten Effektfarben gesucht, um meine Aquarellgemälde zu verschönern und eine Freundin hat mir diese Marke hier empfohlen. Ich habe natürlich zuerst gezögert, weil die Farben recht teuer sind, aber im Nachhinein bin ich wirklich froh, dass ich sie mir doch bestellt habe! Die Farben sind sehr hoch pigmentiert (wenn man sie entsprechend anmischt) und glitzern/schillern wunderschön im Licht (siehe Beispielfotos). Ich kann sie daher jedem empfehlen, der einen schönen Akzent setzen möchte :)

C’est la première palette Coliro que j’ai acquise en 2018, depuis j’en ai acheté 2 de plus ! En effets ces aquarelles ont un éclat que je trouve remarquable, elles sont miscibles entre elles, ne d’affadissement pas au soleil … bref, elles sont superbes pour la peinture comme la calligraphie. Je vous les recommande !
