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

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.

Ive seen this on SO MANY brush lettering videos on Instagram and never wanted to buy it because it was so expensive (at least I thought it was). This holiday season I said screw it and bought some for my tags and I can finally see why this is highly regarded amongst the brush lettering community. The gold is beautiful and you dont have to do a million coats to make it shiny. Will definitely be purchasing more when I run out.

These are the best. I use 2-3 layers to make them opaque, which is what I need. They are really shiny though. They look like gold leaf.

Yeah, these are expensive. Yeah, they’re almost 3 times of the price of the Kuretake brand gold 6 Pan watercolors. But if you’re serious about your metallics, these are the best out there and nothing even comes close. I have both these and the Kuretake, and I also have a metallic set by Schmincke, as well as a cheaper company called Mozart. I have also tried making my own metallics with Pearlex powder pigments (NOT worth the trouble). I am an avid painter and I paint every day. I have tried a wide range of metallics as metallic accents are extremely important to my style of painting. And please believe me when I say that nothing, NOTHING on the market compares to these in terms of opacity, creaminess, shine and shade range. This company knows what they’re doing, and they’re doing it perfectly. I am in love with how every painting turns out, accented with these metallics. In fact, I believe they give my paintings a gold-leaf look - something that is otherwise extremely messy/ delicate to achieve. These paints are best used with a small brush for acrylic paints. They can be applied on almost any surface. And the consistency can be well controlled by how much water you add. The issue with the Kuretake paints is that, even though they look similar to finetec on the painting, the paints wear down quickly. Finetec lasts forever. You can feel how densely packed each cake is by how long it takes to activate. In the time it took me to use up an entire rectangular pan of Kuretake, I’ve only barely made a dent in a cake of Finetec. So if you’re someone who uses up your paints, it’s actually more economical to get Finetec. No I’m not sponsored by Finetec , just someone who has looked for the perfect paint for a decade and finally found it. Plus, if you are an instagram artist (follow me btw at butterletters), the Finetec palettes are beautiful to photograph next to your art and calligraphy. I never want to include my awkward rectangular Kuretake palette in my photos. But the round, silky, delicious Finetec paints add something so satisfying to my Instagram photos. So there’s that to consider haha! Anyway, I can’t rave enough about these! Time to go paint some more!

This is a great watercolor you can make it as sheer or as opaque as you want it to be, the coverage is an excellent rich pigment. Great for watercolor and lettering.

This is exactly as advertised. The colors are beautiful and load onto my brush well. These will add a little extra shimmer and realistic metallic color to my art. I plan to use for cards. My 8 year old granddaughter plans to add shine to her mermaid paintings. We are both tickled with the paints.

This is an easy to use compliment for your watercolor creations. High quality product.

These paints are a bit thicker than actual watercolors and dont quite behave like them either. So they are a bit difficult to work with if youre doing wet on wet. But they work amazingly well for wet on dry! The one major downside I found while working with these is that they dont pick up like normal watercolors so if you make a mistake its really noticeable.

I love these inexpensive metallics. The pigment load far exceeded my expectations! I bought these to travel with as I didn’t want to risk losing my Paul Reubens.

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.
