Brusho by Colourcraft BRU85358 Crystal Color Set 8 Crystal Colour Set

Fabulous intense colour. I had seen a demonstration and wanted to try myself. I do dabble with water colour painting. These crystal powders are so versatile. I tried a few grains and I literally mean a few grains mixed with water, and was amazed how the colour was so strong . Adding more water and a translucent colour with depth still there not loosing the intensity. Adding more water still colour still true. I was amazed at how little product I had used. I practiced with three colours the terracotta,yellow ochre and sandstone. They blending and have dried beautifully. I'm saving the practice sheet as it's too good to scrap. Even where a just dabbed around in no particular way, it's dried lovely. I'm keeping for a future project. These crystals used as a watercolour will last forever. There's lots' more techniques to apply. Sprinkle them. Using the edge if a brush or punch a hole in the lids and sprinkle like salt. Again a small amount is needed. A tip ; if you can see the grains you've laid too many down. Spray water from a spritzer bottle and ' Hey Presto ' a firework display of exploding colour. Absolutely amazing. It's your own choice how much you sprinkle for even more vibrancy. Or spray more water and reduce. Use a paint brush to spread the colour. You can use in so many ways. I'm absolutely delighted. I will definitely buy more colours and a DVD for more techniques is on my shopping list. For the cost of this set it's well worth a try out. You'll be pleasantly surprised how versatile these crystals' are.

Perfect product, easy to use, helps me experiment and get creative and beautiful vibrant colours. Possibilities are endless.

Don't be tempted to add white spirit to stain wood as is suggested elsewhere on the internet. If you want a longer lasting stain just use a non toxic acrylic varnish afterwards. Minimal change to colour but it doesn't rub off on hands afterward.

Well having watched the video thought I would try as they looked like fun and can produce lovely effects. Still learning with my first little set but have to say I love them. I had got bored with painting and boxed up my brushes and paints, but they are out again and these are a great little starter set. You have to experiment /practice as I am still doing but they are very effective. I am sure I will be buying some more but different colours.

You will love using this. Perfect for mixed media. Less is more so don’t use it up quickly. It loves thick or dense materials and is great on very high gsm paper.

Fab product ,but would have liked the pepper pot shaker lid to distribute powder,otherwise too much comes out of the top.Resorted to using a spoon to sprinkle powder on card.It is however a great product to experiment with.You get some amazing colour results.

Not impressed with the choice of colours in this pack. I expected a representative range of all colours, instead it looks like any unpopular colour they cannot sell normally. I got three different greens, three warm brown colours and no blue anywhere. Not impressed with this pack.

Misled about colour content 4 greens out of 8 was not balanced
