They are transparent and unpredictable - much like watercolour but even more surprising as you really never know what you are going to get. The fourth method is the one which gives you the most control because it is simply turning the powder into liquid paint.

Below is a list of the extensive range of vibrant colours which are fully intermixable with each other.Spritz water on to watercolour paper, sprinkle Brusho Crystal Colour on to the paper and it bursts in to colour. The colours lend themselves ideally for the production of a variety of hues, tints and shades by mixing, dilution or concentration, or by the superimposition of washes. Made in the UK, the highly pigmented watercolour crystals react to water to create interesting watercolour effects. When you sprinkle the powder onto wet paper it immediately dissolves, and color explodes across the page.

That is until you realise that they are in fact a DYE BASED PRODUCT and therefore of no use to professional artists creating original fine artworks, because they are not archival. Colours included: brilliant red, lemon, dark brown, purple, ultramarine, black, scarlet, orange, turquoise, yellow, leaf green and emerald green.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

They will stain surfaces, clothes and hands as the tiny pigment particles can easily be airborne and land unintentionally where they are not wanted! If you want a more controlled painting but with the Brusho textured effects, you can wet the paper first, painting water shapes or background patterns, then sprinkle your Brusho powder over the designated wet areas.

Brusho can be diluted with water to create coloured transparent inks, or diluted on a palette to create transparent paint. For more control but retaining the texture and color variation try dampening the shape you want to paint with clean water. Thanks for the great review and especially for satisfying my curiosity about “needing” another item to add to all the other things I think I need to own.
