Brusho by Colourcraft BRU85000 Crystal Colour Assorted Pack of 12 Colours, 15 g

Product Information

B rusho water-colour powder is an incredibly versatile and vibrant product which is completely non-toxic, and acid-free. The colours are a transparent, highly-pigmented watercolour ink that comes packed in small drums which contain the dry, crystalline powder.

Brusho powdered pigment can be added to the thickener, but you must mix the powder thoroughly to create an even colour. After the paint had dried, I removed the wrap and re-wet some areas, sprinkling darker colors into the wet. p>Made in the UK, the highly pigmented watercolour crystals react to water to create interesting watercolour effects. To add even more dimension to your creative activities, and for those creatives who love a bit of bling!p>Brusho Crystal Colours are intense powder paints that are water-based, non-toxic, and easy to use. Brusho colours provide a good degree of lightfastness and all colours have a rating of between 4 and 6.

Dry Brusho powder can also be sprinkled on top of wet watercolour paint to create additional textures. Many old paintings by famous artists have changed colour because of the permanence (or otherwise) of the colours used. They tend to include water in one form or another because that is the first thing that I am reminded of when I see an exuberant splash of brusho. Brusho crystal colour is manufactured in Sheffield, UK, Brusho is made from highly pigmented watercolour crystals with a binder. I think it is better to just poke a little hole in the top of the lid to turn the tub into a sort of shaker.Please note, due to the nature of the pigment powder, colours may appear different in their raw state - for example Leaf Green will appear Yellow. They forever change until dry and create a beautiful abstract background that I tend to then go back in and add my fineliner drawing on top.

Due to the nature of the product, the results are unpredictable and allow the artist to produce unique art works every time. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. They are transparent and unpredictable - much like watercolour but even more surprising as you really never know what you are going to get.With this glazing technique you usually wait until the first layer is dry before you apply the next.

My favourite colours are those that contain multiple colours (eg Sea Green, Cobalt Blue and Orange) so that when you use them you see all the variation. It can be used for a whole variety of artistic applications, from staining wood and card, creating fabric wall-hangings to making watercolour designs.

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. If you look back at the dilute brush area where I accidentally dropped salt – that’s the effect I was going for. When applied to a wet paper surface, some of the composite colour mixed powders, disperse little bursts of rainbow flecks across your paper or fabric. Once you think of it like watercolour paint, there is really no limit to what you could paint with it.
