Treated myself to the Paul Rubens metallic set month or so ago: they are brilliant! Use them for mixed media messing about as washes and thicker for lines and for calligraphy, very nice for illuminated capitals And you're right - the packaging is utterly gorgeous especially the little cloth. Saving up for some other PR kit :)

Hello nina, Beautiful box, really, I would not use the cloth either. And the colours, beautiful, so two flies in one catch( a dutch saying) Good to show the different boxes in comparison to eachother. I once bought two boxes in a budgetshop, really cheap and it was like magic, I coloured some beautiful mandala's for my collegues with them and I am almost afraid to use them, for I never saw them again in the shop, but this box might bring magic too. Good video nina, love and kisses lenaxxx

Holy Cow, Nina, these watercolors are scrumptious! I can’t allow myself to get them, as I have all the Twinks that are still pretty much full. Oh well, I’m sure many will get these.

Don't know how I come to miss this one Nina (old age and dry rot maybe lol). I actually purchased one of the metallics at a cost of £50 last year, but sadly had to return them as there didn't seem to be much pigment on the paper when I used them. Luckily I got my money back. Tfs xo

That’s a shame as I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about these paints. It’s the same company as the Pretty Excellent palette that I’ve been using for the past couple of years as well and I would highly recommend that too. My paints are very highly pigmented and Lindsay Weirich also classes this as her favourite set of metallics too. You could see from the swatches I made that they are just as pigmented as the likes of Finetec and the colours in the palette are gorgeous. I wonder if you perhaps purchased a dupe? Just a thought 💕 xo

Bought a set of pearlescent watercolors on a recent Michael's trip. Mine are Niji with 16 colors. Are they like metallic paints? Edit. I don't usually swatch my paints. Since I watched your video, I decided I would do it with this new set of paints.
@NinaRibenaMixedMedia

Hello May, I think a lot has to to do with what reflective particles have been added to the paints. The Paul Rubens are sold as pearlescent paints, but are highly reflective and show well on both black and white as you could see. Glad you decided to swatch yours as I think it’s the only way to see how metallic/pearlescent paints will perform. Enjoy 💕
