How to Make Watercolor Paint - Metallic Gold MICA No Mulling ❀ Easy Beginner Tutorial Handmade DIY

✨ Here is a simple little tutorial on how to make a mica handmade metallic watercolor that does not really need to be mulled using a muller to bind. We will just use our palette knife to incorporate the mica and create a good meld with our homemade binder (or premade if you have some). This tutorial will walk you through the materials you need and how to test your homemade paint. 🎬 VIDEO TUTE - How to Make Watercolor Binder:    • How to Make Watercolor Paint Binder Recipe...   Ingredients you will need: https://benable.com/jannahlyon/making... • Watercolor binder (homemade:    • How to Make Watercolor Paint Binder Recipe...  ) • Pure mica powders: https://amzn.to/3SEiPaA • Real or Synthetic Ox Gall (optional): https://amzn.to/3pdzPYe Tools & equipment you will need: https://benable.com/jannahlyon/making... • Thick glass or marble FLAT mixing surface (the smooth side of a glass cutting boards work great, but don't use it for food after, this is its life now) • Silicone Mat (optional): https://amzn.to/3lg9nMj • Palette knife or mixing tool: https://amzn.to/3rpLgit • Empty paint pans: https://amzn.to/3xIhK8I • *Disposable N95 dust mask or Reusable Elastomeric respirator with N95 disposable filters • Lint-free paper towels or rag • Disposable gloves (optional) • Pipettes or syringes (optional): https://amzn.to/3xNLvVL • Squeezy bottle (optional) mine came in this set I got for refilling my fountain pens: https://amzn.to/3EkwU6F Chapters: 00:14 Overview metallic watercolor paint using mica versus pigment powder - no mulling 01:04 Not a professional paint maker :) 01:34 Equipment and Materials 05:03 * SAFETY* please don't skip this bit 06:33 Measuring mica and binder 07:58 Mixing our metallic watercolor paint (no muller needed) 09:38 Consistency check 10:12 Creating test swatch 10:50 Dry swatch rub test to check paint binding/melding 11:11 Transfer to your pan 12:18 Abstract painting, trying out our new paint 13:42 Conclusion 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 ❤️ Art Supply & Stationery Affiliate Discounts ❤️ (Some exclusions may apply.
