All that glitters is not gold... but it could be metallic paint! Weee - I have new paint & it's exciting.. a new toy to play with and explore. I decided to treat myself to a very nice paint for my birthday (it arrived a week early & I was not waiting, the paint is from https://lisilinka.com. Made in Germany. First I'll add the paint is expensive (more so than most) but after watching demonstrations on social media and the site and reading positive reviews I went for it -deciding on the set Holo-Flowers... deciding what set to choose was difficult - another I like is Northern Lights, I also purchased Prism for $45. a single pan & was sent for free Hazel which was nice, since it's another full size pan -*that being said even with free shipping - when it arrived here I was charged another $40. for duty! Yeah Canada.... they will take our money every way they can. It's here so.. I cleaned my desk and opened the paint!
The colours are lovely & the quality is as promised, I used the swatch cards provided -they dry even better than when applied with fantastic coverage. Watered down - the amount of glitter that swirls still was impressive - it will take some practice to master the level of glitter to apply. The Prism is exactly what I expected and changes colour when the light hits it, just using it I find relaxing, watching all the glitter swirl - Today Im using the one colour to paint an entire painting.... playing with is the fastest way to learn - nothing too serious yet'. Pleased with the paint - the packaging is equally impressive, albeit it can first appear excessive' - it's as though it was created for my hands! I can grasp & hold the containers & they all have magnets in them so they snap' open and closed very easily. Individual paint pans also have magnets so you could customize your own. They won't fall out of your paint holders -that's happened to everyone (no doubts) who's used water colour paint pans'. Packaging is attractive & my creative side thinks they can probably be used & recycled easily. The paint also came with a tiny water dropper -as you only need one drop, I do find it a bit difficult with arthritis but that's fine as I have several paint droppers called Pipettes' (from DeSerres). From the selection cards provided -I quickly calculated: a FULL set of these paints would cost about $3,000. I will probably add a few more shades... I really like Polar Night, Cranberry & Indian summer is also lovely, easy to choose from all the vibrant selections!
About these Pipettes... My cat is obsessed and jumps on my desk at night (grrrr) and steals them! He also chews them and destroys them - last night I forgot to put my art away - a sweet tiny container garden painting' was destroyed by water from a cat stealing Pipettes. I put drops of rosemary on them now so if he takes one, hopefully he won't like the taste and leave them alone. He already knows better than to jump on my desk during the day.
The paint will probably be used more for hi-lighting and accent details, it's raining and foggy - a great day to paint & explore new ideas and mediums. Grateful to God & the Universe for this new day of discovery!
