Coliro M600 Artist Mica Watercolor Paint Set – Metallic Watercolor Paints (6-Color Set, 30mm)

Fair warning to everyone: I LOVE SPARKLE, SHINE, GLITTER, GLIMMER, and just about anything shiny when it comes detailing things in my art so this review is slightly biased. These paints are awesome for several reasons, not the least of which they offer a great variety of shades of gold and silver. Im also able to mix them with other watercolor paints without them losing their shine but I can also get them to full opacity if I need to. I highly recommend these paints to anyone like me who has 24k taste on a $24 budget! Happy painting everyone!

This paint is quite beautiful, of a good quality, and it can be used for subtle effects or layered to get a more solid, foil-like appearance.It flows nicely on the paper and seems to work well with my other watercolors. So far, Ive used ot to add some discreet gold color to paintings of autumn aspen trees, and also to make a deep gold background for a single aspen leaf. Both came out looking classy. I find it especially attractive on a rougher, more highly textured watercolor paper. People at my gallery like the paintings Ive made using it, and have been asking what I used. I do wish that in place of one of the similar looking gold colors, there were more of a coppery color, instead, just to add some variety to the set. Im looking forward t trying it out on dark colored paper and also mixing with other paints to get certain colors and effects. Once Ive found time to try that, I may come back and add more detail to my thoughts on its uses.

I was a bit skeptical regarding the quality of the product. BUT I was greatly surprised. Ordered the chocolate covered and I am very very pleased with this product. I own a calligraphy business and presenting my work to future clients will only be enhanced by your folders. The brown is very elegant and with the linen it only enhances the folder. The texture is not so pronounced until you cant write on the surface (which is a added bonus). Thank you Amazon.

Used this in my calligraphy class with a glass pen. Lovely depth and shine...exactly as advertised. Shipping was extremely quick! Would definitely purchase again.

Been looking for a good/decent set of metallic watercolors and had my eye on this for about a year. After all that time I finally decided to get it and wasnt disappointed! Just be sure to sprinkle them with water and let it sit at least 30 seconds for best results

Outstanding workability. Must apply a few drops of water and allow a few minutes so it may absorb “as directed” which allows for super dense buttery pigment. Outstanding addition as a side palette when golds and silver are needed. I also use pure gold leaf in my watercolors. This pallet can be used as is BUT also blends well with fine pigment watercolors. Also, if you want to punch up the intensity of the gold(s) or silver, I’ve applied Daniel Smith “Black” Watercolor Ground, as the base, prior to applying gold and silver. Just allow the watercolor(WC) ground time to dry/cure prior to application! The black WC ground will not incorporate nor bleed into the pearlescent pigments AND punches up the final result! That’s my 2 cents ;)

I purchased on the recommendation of a watercolor artist on Youtube and Im very happy with the purchase. The colors are lovely and add a beautiful shine and color to paintings.

These paints are not as vibrant as I was hoping for. It doesnt add that shiny definitely gold hue to my paintings that I was looking for. It is more of a shimmer, even with a yellow/orange base underneath. If you put it at an angle youll see the shine peeking through. Theyre very pretty, just not what I was expecting.

I am novice artist with limited experience. These metallic watercolor paints easy to use, good pigment and truly vibrant to settle in the color palette gold’s I purchased.

I added a photo but its really hard to take a picture of metallic paints. So take my word for it. This is the best metallic paint, period.
