I love experimenting with color and creating one that is light and bright and happy. “Reflection” is one of my favorites. Until I create the next light and bright and happy color. #handmade #homemade #smallbatch #watercolor #etsy #turquoise #inthestudio #happycreativelife #inmyhappyplace #mullingpaint #mulling #muller (at Carriage House Studio of Windy Acre Cottage) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb6BkvZurQ0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finally finished that Mayan Green paint I put to the side forever ago. Made so much more than I thought at first because of the pigment/vehicle ratio. Was totally off on my estimate. I'll be able to fit more in the pans when the first fill is dry. Didn't mean to put so much in for the first layer but there wasn't enough room in the syringe 😭. Making this really made me think how I wanted the paint to behave. One of only two reasons to make watercolor paint. Otherwise you're better off spending that time painting. Haha this is my first successful paint. What should I make next? #watercolor #watercolorpaint #makingwatercolors #mayangreen #makingpaint #mullingpaint #mullingmydaysaway #thelayeredcolorissopretty

A comparison of the gold, bronze and copper micas and metallics. From left to right: Pale Gold Mica, Gold Mica, Champagne Gold Metallic, Rich Gold Metallic, Bronze Mica, and Copper Mica. The first pans of the new micas and metallic colors are very nearly ready, I'll be listing them very soon. :) . . https://www.etsy.com/shop/RivervaleWatercolor . . #watercolor #watercolour #watercolors#watercolours #handmade#rivervalewatercolor #rivervaleart #aquarelle #Etsyseller #mullingpaint #handmadewatercolorpaint #mica #handmadepaint #gold #shimmerwatercolor #metallicpaint #handmadepaint #paintmaking #paintmaker #etsy #metallic #shimmer #copper #bronze #watercolorists #watercolorist

Such a pretty blue. Research really pays off to avoid the little frustrations of making paint. Now a small panning test to check for cracking and rewetting then any tiny adjustments and I'll be done. #makingpaint #makingwatercolors #watercolor #paint #mullingpaint #blue

Several new metallic and shimmer colors in the works, four planned, one accidental! I made a mistake with my last pigment order, and instead of the rich gold mica I usually purchase, I ordered a pale gold instead! I had to place another order to fix my mistake, this one had already shipped so might as well use it! It's a lovely color though, so I'm not at all upset. . . Coming soon to the shop is a beautiful mica bronze color, warm but not as red as my copper mica. The accidental gold is also a mica color, it's paler and has a larger particle size that requires a little more binder than the finer mica colors. The gum arabic holds it well, but you must be cautious until it is dry, because it lifts easily when still damp, though It's quite permanent when completely dry. It's so reflective though! It absolutely shines when the light hits it. . . The other three colors are special! They aren't micas at all, but true metallic paints! They're made from treated copper and bronze powders, and have quite a different appearance on paper than the micas. They shine, but are finer in texture and so look much less glittery. The two gold colors (a pale gold and a very warm, glowing gold) are perfect for projects where a more traditional gilded look is desired. The red is a beautiful pomegranate red with copper undertones, and it's a lot of fun to paint with! It changes color from red to copper orange when wet, and remains copper-colored in the pan, but the red hue appears as the paint dries on the paper. . . The pans are still curing at the moment, but I'll post a shop update as soon as they are ready and listed. :) . . https://www.etsy.com/shop/RivervaleWatercolor . . #watercolor #watercolour #watercolors #watercolours #handmade #rivervalewatercolor #rivervaleart #aquarelle #Etsyseller #mullingpaint #handmadewatercolorpaint #mica #handmadepaint #gold #shimmerwatercolor #metallicpaint #handmadepaint #paintmaking #paintmaker #etsy #metallic #shimmer #copper #bronze #serendipity #happyaccident #worldwatercolorgroup #watercolorists #watercolorist #newpaint #ruby

Working on some gold mica this evening. I'm going to have to build my stock back up after the sale, I'm low on a lot of colors at the moment! I want to thank everyone who visited or shopped with me, your support really means a lot! . . https://www.etsy.com/shop/RivervaleWatercolor . . #watercolor #watercolour #watercolors #watercolours #handmade #rivervalewatercolor #rivervaleart #aquarelle #Etsyseller #mullingpaint #handmadewatercolorpaint #mica #handmadepaint #gold #shimmerwatercolor

Progress! Contrary to my sources. The smooth side of my glass plate is providing better results in fifteen minutes than two or more hours on the sandblasted side. Of course I only learned this after adding a laundry list of other things. Blarg. #mayanred #watercolor #makingwatercolors #makingpaint #mullingpaint My arms are sore. 😑

Ugh 😑 I made too much for the sake of fitting the rest into a jar instead of the bag I got the pigment in. I could probably make 9 full pans or so. #toomuchpaint #watercolor #makingwatercolorpaint #mullingpaint
