Hi, This is a video about how I made my Metallic Watercolour Paints. I'm not an expert, so please exercise caution when following my ideas. I take NO responsibility for anyone following my instructions, its at your own risk. I do totally advise using a good quality mask at all times whilst doing this process.
These methods have worked well for me, and I've built my collection up gradually this way.
Im enclosing a list of the items I've used, (Im not an Affiliate)
There are loads of Micas available, these are just the ones I've used, and I know have worked for me. Obviously what you put your paint into is personal choice, again, I've added the type of thing I've used.
Please feel free to ask questions, I'll answer If I can, and a like 👍, would be lovely.
Thanks
Wendy
