i will say I am impressed at how gold the goldest gold actually is. That said, I still maintain that the best acrylic gold is still only decent at best when compared to golds from lacquer paints. I would be curious to see what these golds look like airbrushed. You can buy a cordless airbrush nowadays for $30 cdn. some of them even look like the airbrush is just a standard double action airbrush with the compressor screwed directly onto the hose connector so theoretically, you could attach the airbrush to a bigger compressor down the road,. or attach the small compressor to a higher end airbrush. JUST BUY ONE ALREADY!!! especially now that a cheap airbrush costs as much as two normal paint brushes
I do agree with you re the lacquer paint and enamel actually. I was going to compare these against gold enamel spray gold but it was very unfair. That’s why I kept saying acrylic 😂. I’ll get an airbrush one day, I just hate the idea of buying something cheap that will break and get thrown out. I’m thinking about doing a big project with the ultra blacks and the Metallics so if I do I’ll get something decent ☺️
Hi there! I love your videos (even though I discovered you like a week ago) and I'd love to see more art videos and reviews from you. Tbh, your style looks very vintage and nice and gives 80s and 90s combined with modern style and I love it. And it would may sound odd but i think you should do tutorials about clothing and etc. for people like me who doesn't knows how to dress.
Thankyou! I’m sorry they are so sporadic coming out, the more I do the better I want them and as I’m sucking in front of camera I’m trying to get better☺️. I have a terrible secret to tell you! I have so few clothes I keep cutting them up and just making them look decent on camera with pins, if I walked down the street all the pins would fall out and I’d likely end with much less on 😂. Thankyou for the compliment tho! Glad my hodgepodge of clothing is looking good!💜
I've seen other artists suggest a coat or tow of white laid down, prior to gold paint. I have not tried gold paint, but want to at some point. I like the Matisse in your examples the best for what I would probably use it for.
The white did make quite a bit of difference when I primed the boards. Although it took longer for the gold to get gold, it did give it a decent base to work off☺️.
I didn't know that there was a Goldest Gold paint existed. I'm learning alot! Also make sure that you keep Cecil and Percy away from the acrylic paints! Keep up the great work Sunny
Yay! Another sunshine video 😊 I started watching you on twitch, thought you stopped posting here. love your personality on twitch but high quality production and professionalism here too. Thanks for the video, take care!
Haha I missed your videos! Loving this one so far even though metallic gold paints aren’t exactly my thing. I have the Kuretake Starry Colors which is a watercolor and is lovely! 😺 Though I suppose the GOLD standard is probably actual gold leaf (which seems quite hard to work with). 😹
I’m so sorry for the delay 😅 I know what you mean, I don’t use metallics particularly often but man it was super interesting! I will be trying to find things to work it into my work now for sure!
Yeah I can see how that would make it more contrasty. I went for white paper as that’s what most artists use when it’s on an art piece. Suspect it would take less coats on black tho ☺️
Hello, I am a visual artist, from france and I learned from ancient art illuminators, that to have an almost perfect gold, you had to mix gold powder with a binder, water (gum arabic), acrylic or oil, in the proportions 50% powder and 50 % of a binder and you will have astonishing results By mixing different gold powders, you can create your ideal gold thank you for your black 4.0 and musou black test. I was hesitant about the choice, for an exhibition project, I will test by preparing the (wooden) backgrounds in matt lacquer, I will come back to give you a comment if I have had good results
Aw man i'm sure that would make an absolutely astonishing gold! For this test I really wanted to try acrylic paints that were relatively easy for anyone to get their hands on. But oh my goodness i'd love to try that sometime! It sounds amazing! I'd love to see you your project goes, absolutely let me know what happens! :)
@@StuffBySunshine I understood by watching your videos that it was for the sake of ease of use for everyone, in fact, my comment was more for you, you made me want to watch your universe on the internet and I like very much your world and your personality, great if I made you want to try the gold of old illuminations
@@StuffBySunshine if you want to try there is something to do. in the gold pigment powder (which is ferrous) put a touch of dishwashing liquid. you will opt for a liquid cream texture and then the binder. (otherwise the powder will not mix well)
if I'm going to use a gold color in my work (i don't use metallic colors) I would blend chartreuse or willow green with a deep orange/ scarlet/ orange- red. more green for the shadow more orange for the mid tone, more yellow for the highlight. I imagine if I were to paint a model, I would use different gold tones for effect.
It’s interesting that you prefer a build up of colour to achieve reflections and such. It’s probably a much more controlled way of getting the effects you’re after. I’m a sucker for something shiny though 😂
Interesting! I considered including watercolor and enamel in this test but figured it would be more honest if I just stuck to one type. I primarily use watercolour in my work so I’ll have to check out the golds ☺️
What if you used the true gold as a base layer and dry brush the metallic gold over it? I think that would be a nice experiment for a textured 3D object like a rock to look like a gold nugget.
Oh that’s a really interesting idea! I really appreciate your thoughts on it actually, I didn’t think of that 🧐 I wish I had some goldest gold left as I reckon that would work really well over the True gold…
I’ve heard this from people over on reddit. I’m not sure but I’ve been lucky with all of my orders, a couple have been a bit slow but they have all come (eventually)
I love how detailed you get with this! One of the few videos ive seen which show you rather than tell you results'. Keep up the great work!
Thankyou, I try!
So gold. Much shiny. 😊
Shiny shiny gold!💜☺️🏆😂

I have been using Stewart semple gold paint for years now. It is the best gold I have ever used... Ever.
After doing all these tests I’d have to agree!☺️💜

Thankyou Faery! Glad your enjoying them AND glad you enjoyed watching paint dry for 40+ minutes 😂💜
@@StuffBySunshine Oh god! If you can do it so can I 😂 Also you would come under Goldest Gold as well cause of your heart of gold 💛

Thanks mate! I’m glad your enjoying my vibe 😊💜
The cheap Borns actually done pretty well. I wonder if it was thinned would it go down a bit easier
It’s one of the few I have left (that and the Matisse so I may have to try that!💜
The way she spins the gold skull at the end gave me some serious QVC vibes. (QVC is a jewellery selling channel here in the states.
That’s an upside down cheese board with a boat spinny chair thingy under it so im glad it looked good😂💜

I see why you have been so busy…well done very informative.
This and everything else😂, glad you enjoyed 💜
every prop-maker says that to make the best metallic paint finish, you need to use a gloss black primer.
Yeah I can see how that would make it more contrasty. I went for white paper as that’s what most artists use when it’s on an art piece. Suspect it would take less coats on black tho ☺️
Putting metallics over white will always struggle.
Try priming with a glossy black and see how it compares.
I would like to try this with them also! So much paint so little time 😂🙌🏻
Wonder how these compare to the Liquitex Bright Gold acrylic gouache.
Please make us a video how to get the Blondest Blonde Hair. Your are a Stunning Beauty. ☺

if you want to try
there is something to do.

@@florencejoutel9352 Which gold pigments are your preferred? I have only used Schminke ones.
@@stunistus sennelier
I will say that in my head, gold is a slightly warmer color than it actually is looking at real gold.
Ahh the pirate treasure gold, gold? Me too ☺️
if I'm going to use a gold color in my work (i don't use metallic colors) I would blend chartreuse or willow green with a deep orange/ scarlet/ orange- red. more green for the shadow more orange for the mid tone, more yellow for the highlight.

@@StuffBySunshine not so much build up color, but create the shade affects color.
Funny how the gold paint we hear about the most, aqua bronze, isn't in the test
gold water colours are a lot more shiny

They won't send anyone who isn't an influencer their order
I’ve heard this from people over on reddit.
I’m not sure but I’ve been lucky with all of my orders, a couple have been a bit slow but they have all come (eventually)
I mean something named Goldest Gold isn’t leading to be a bluff
No they were pretty spot on with that one 💜☺️
