We have introduced how to make watercolor paint in workshop courses and videos, but this time we will inform you again about the necessary tools and how to make them.

Now that it is easy to face what you like, you may find hints for new expressions through "paint".

"Transparent watercolor paint" is a paint that can be dissolved in water as you read. One of them is "paint" used at school as a child.

Let's introduce what you need to make paint.

You can also make a combination of crystal marla and marble, paper pallet and penting knife, so please use your favorite tools.

The point of choosing pigments is that if the particle is coarse, it may be difficult to diversify evenly, making it easier to make fine particles. Please choose according to your own expression.

For those who use pigments for the first time, I think that even if many pigments say "Choose!", You may be lost, but in such a case, why not choose from your favorite color? Because it is a paint made with affection, paint starts with the pleasure of choosing a color.

The search function on the left side of the page of this lab's online shop has a color filter, so please use it.

If you are not used to handling pigments yet, or if you get lost, please consider fine dried water. Please refer to this article for water dried.

Then, how to make it.

This time, I used this pigment.

Kamakura Zhu was used immediately because the particles were fine, but please crush the pigments that are like dried up in a mortar or crush them with a kneaded stick.

Clean well with a penting knife, and if it seems to be hard at this stage, add Arabi rubber.

The image below shows "Kamakura Zhu" with crystal marla and marble boards.

Crystal Marler has three sizes, but this time we use the largest size. It is a little heavy when holding a large size with one hand, but when you actually knead it, it moves horizontally and has a medium, so it moves smoothly, so women can use it without any problems. You can also knead well because the pressure is added because of the heavy pressure. Especially when making a lot at once, we recommend a large size.

As a guide to the finish, knead well while drawing 8 characters until the gloss comes out and smooth. The better you knead, the better the paint.

I tried to make it directly with Arabi rubber and honey in a mortar with the pigment crushed. Penting knives and crystal marlers are easier to knead, and the paint condition is easy to understand, so try the basics at first.

In addition, those who transfer to the storage container are easier to collect pallets and plate -shaped, so they are easier to work.

Any container to be put in is fine, but if you have a long -term storage, I think it is OK because it is harder to get dust with the lid. You can put it in your favorite container, create an original paint collection, or put an original label.

Honey is an excellent substitute for moisturizing and preservatives, but if you put it too much, it will not harden and remains liquid. However, if it is small, it may crack after drying. The amount of Arabia rubber and honey is described the ratio of the guideline, but it also depends on the pigment.

In addition, you can add color and saturation by adding mixture with other pigments, pour powder, titanium white, effect pigments, etc., so please try it.

At first I thought, "It's going to be difficult to make paint," but when I tried it, it was fun and time passed in no time.

Please use it to explore the colors born from your own paint.
