I always receive questions on what gold i use on my art, so here's a video all about it!

[PumpkinPails]

I need that Finetec Palette in my life. Need it! Also, you should try making your own gold ink using Pearl Ex pigments and gum arabic. I experimented with that over the weekend and the results are incredible! You can control how thick or thin the ink is by the amount of gum arabic and water you mix into the pigment, and you can also make your own metallic watercolor cakes if you let the mixture dry out. There's plenty of different types of golds to choose from, as well. 

I'm a metallic paint psycho, so I love trying all of them out, but the inks I made with Pearl Ex are, so far, my favorite.

This video was set up so nicely. The music in the back was relaxing, but not to loud. You compared everything so nicely. I wish I could like more than once!

It's just me, or the video goes silent at the end?

I have been watching ink comparison videos all day long and this is the first one where I didn't wish someone had covered a certain aspect of the inks or I didn't wish there was another angle. You covered everything, this was so unbelievably helpful. Thank you so much for making this! PS: You are extremely talented. Your art popping in every so often with the music in the background made this such a beautiful video!

I appreciate how your videos are concise. You provide your opinion alongside clear comparisons without rambling on. Very helpful. Thanks!

[SashaReade]

Thank you this was the most helpful video. I'm wanting a really glittery gold and this was a great way to see them up close! Winsor and Newton it is!

i've actually spoken to store employees about the pigment settling at the bottom for ph. martins. they said to hold it upside down for a bit and continually shake it . it should be good its not really a drawback on ph martins they are my favourite brand for ink and watercolours!

This is a fantastic video. I appreciate that you seem to understand that we the viewers may have time constraints and therefore you give a concise review with examples. Thank you very much. This video made my day.

Ooooh I personally like how the FineTech Watercolour turned out. Interesting video, love love love how gold watercolour looks in artworks, really pops out!

[LoriensLunchBox]

You're so pro, bae ♡
Do you use copics? I've been interested in them lately.

[diannebencito]

Thanks you for this video!

I finally decided to get myself the Finetec Gold Palette, well my boyfriend got it for me during Christmas. All of these were hard to come by from where i'm from. Lucky we found that Finetec was carried at a specialty calligraphy shop just a bus ride away from where I live.

[BeverlyJordanblog]

So nice to see your comparisons but I really think the Finetec golds were my fav because it has so many shades to match my projects! Obviously different reasons to have each one! Thank you for doing your video and am your newest follower!! So clever to use these in all your projects and not limit yourself!

[victoriamaria]

so pretty! i absolutely LOVE the look of gold ink/watercolor. great video as always!

[fullermoments]

So informative...and illustrating them all in the way you did was an added bonus.

[JadyLester]

This is *tremendous*, for me. The first gold ink I bought was Speedball, which, yes, is pretty watery and artificial. Glad to know the qualities of the other options.

Did anyone else loose the audio at 3:02 minutes, or is it just me?

[teasetreats]

Could you do a tutorial on body forms like the examples shown in your sketchbook tour?

[josecruzdesign]

Lovely video. Thanks for doing this. I've been painting with watercolor for some many years... but I'm always afraid of experimenting with gold/silver inks... mainly because they tend to change so much in between brands... and also, because each one reacts in such a different way... Once again, thank you. :)
