I love the these! I’ve ordered a set of neons, or course!!! Can’t wait to see them & use them… I’ve got an Aurora Borealis project to do… ohhh… I think the neons will work wonders there!!! Thank you for the demo & discount code!!! That’s incredibly kind!
Lovely colors, Harriet. I enjoyed today’s tutorial. I’ve only been watching your channel since the holiday times of 2023, but so happy that I found you. Thank you.
I've been using hand made metallics for a while now and was very frustrated at first. I buy from a couple of different makers. They both mentioned that the pigment takes a lot of 'waking up' before using the paint. I add quite a lot of water and work it gently for a minute or so in the half pan before using. They can be 'challenging' but are also lots of fun when they work!
Thank you Harriet for this very pretty tutorial. You chose the right subjects to test these magical watercolours on - I love painting butterflies and dragonflies and your illustrations would make Milena proud. I have recently bought the Mirror series dot card from MAB and love the silvers with glitter and dazzle effects. Will use the code to get a set ☺️ ✨✨
Beautiful! Funny you chose butterflies as I’ve been having a ball painting them. I gathered all your tutorials with butterflies and now I can add this one too! How you combine the colours is magical to me. I would have never thought of any of these colours and yet I love how they all look!
Thank you for this demonstration with the new colors! I have never heard of them, but now a huge fan of these colors! Always love your tutorials, it’s a good way to start my day😊 Thank you from across the ocean, Dubois Wyoming USA
ooh what a lovely video and gorgeous paints Harriet. I was tempted and have popped onto the site and treated myself to a couple of the holographic paints and 3 dot cards. Which mean I can try the paints at a price I can afford. I thought your use of the paints was very thorough and the quality of the paints good. The 'no filler' won me over. I know you are very careful about what you recommend and expect other things to be of a high standard similar to yours. So appreciate this video. Thank you
You are such a magical artist Harriet, I fell in love with each of your sweet characters, including the little visitor!!. I have used Arteza metallic paints, the colors I have are very translucent not at all saturated, but I do like them quite well. I have always been terrified of neons but now that I have seen how you used them, I will order the set you used. ♥️
Lovely paints. I have several metallic handmade paints and do like them. Your layering is very nice. I'm still learning but will give it a try. Thank you. 👍💗👍
Excellent review on these paint Harriet and the gold really stood out on the dragon fly when it was dry Thank you for sharing the paints and your paintings with us and I'm off to Mab shop now xx
Beautiful butterflies 🦋 quite expensive colors though….csy handmade in Germany are my go to for metallics on Amazon for those of us that don’t have that much in funds…not $30 and up per palette. Thanks much 🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽
There are a few variables but for me the key one is the amount of pigment in the paint. The higher the quality, the more pigment, meaning the colours will stay vibrant for longer and you use less when painting.

Would like to see the metallic watercolors on black wc paper.
Debbie Walker Art has a few sets from MAB and she has some swatches on black paper.
Ah brilliant.

Ooh how do they look on the black paper?

I really think you would have more fun with the metallics on black stock
Ah good idea
Metallic on black is mesmerizing, but you got a stunning result! Try swatching your metallics on black, and prepare to be amazed!
Gorgeous xx
Thank you! Cheers!
Do the metalics looks different on black watercolor? The bug may be attractive to the neon of the colors. That is what they see in many flowers....
Wow that's amazing! I've never had a bug visitor before!
Beautiful dont know where iwould use neon but beautiful
I didn’t either but now I’m going to see how they can be added in tiny amounts
Beautiful and cute visitor!! ⚾️
Thank you! 😊
I'm in love 😍
I'm so glad!
Would be nice to swatch celestial on black paper
Yeah definitely
What do you use neon colors for? I never knew how to use them or for what subjects? I mostly paint landscapes.
The neon colours will definitely be for heightened and fantastical things. Probably not realistic landscapes unless your painting vegas at night!
So pretty!
Could you please tell me what the criteria is that makes watercolor paint artist/professional quality vs. student quality? Thanks:)
There are a few variables but for me the key one is the amount of pigment in the paint. The higher the quality, the more pigment, meaning the colours will stay vibrant for longer and you use less when painting.
I think you mentioned that the neon were fast, have you found any information on their pigment numbers? Because usually neon is not right
Sorry.. usually not light fast
That question should be directed to MAB watercolours on Etsy.
Have ordered MAB before through Esty. Just tried to order the Neon set and they are on preorder only for a 2025 delivery date. ????
Oh ok. Sounds like they were popular! Message the seller to see what’s going on
