It would be great if I could figure out how to use it better.

I've watched DOZENS of youtube videos where the artist uses Brusho. This stuff is amazing! I was salivating as I opened up my package. Then...utter disappointment. I am Brusho challenged.I can't get it to bloom like I see in the videos. I even bought a book about how to use it. It's just a confetti mess in my paintings, no matter how I apply and spritz it.I am still woefully inept when I use it. I take this as a personal challenge. One day, I will proudly upload a photo of my Brusho masterpiece to this review. Sadly, today is not the day. :-(

Vibrant, very staining, too messy for kids

Very vibrant! A little goes a looong way. Be careful. This stuff has the potential to be VERY messy! It is loose powder. One tiny, almost invisible grain will explode with color once wet, and it is very staining.Some of the colors are a bit different than one might expect. The rose red is exactly rose red. The burnt Sienna is kind of an earthy dusty rose. Reminds me of very diluted Daniel Smith’s Piemontite watercolor. Terracotta is more of a deep coral. I couldn’t get the olive green to mix, so it stayed bright blue and orange. I’m sure that was user error. The moss green is beautiful! It separated into yellow, brown, dark blue, and green. Lime green separates into aqua blue and orange, but is definitely yellow/green when mixed well. The sandstone is a lovely soft orangey brown. The yellow ochre separates into blue and oranges, but is a nice transparent yellow ochre when thoroughly mixed. Please keep in mind that I sprinkled a very tiny bit of each color onto a wet surface. I wanted to see what it would do. I have no doubt that when mixed with water BEFORE touching the paper, it will give a solid color.I am looking forward to experimenting with this medium. It’s going to be a lot of fun!It does purport to be non-toxic, but my advice is not to allow children to play with it unsupervised. It has great potential to make an uncleanable mess.

Fun textures for watercolor paintings!

These are fun pigment powders. I have used them alongside Karen Rice tutorials. I did what she recommended and pierced a hole in the top with a pushpin so that I can sprinkle just a little of the pigment where I want it.Be warned: it’s very easy to overdo it with these AND if you open the lid, they’re liable to get EVERYWHERE!

Beautiful earth tone colors in this set

There are small overlaps between the various sets. Just keep that in mind. The best starter set is the 12 set, if you buy that with the book The Art of Brusho by Carrie McKenzie, you'll be amazed at what you can do with the 12 set of colors. This set has a lot of earth tones so it makes a great addition to the 12 set, where you get cool and warm tones of all the primary colors, a few secondary colors plus brown and black. The price for this set on Amazon is pretty high, I could have found it for less elsewhere so I took away 1 star. You are paying a price premium here for the convenience of getting it in 2 days. (I ordered a larger set and even though it said in stock, their inventory sold out, but my account kept saying it was on the way...........so thats another issue, paying the extra price premium and not even getting it in two days, I cancelled that order!) Keep in mind the lids don't have holes on top so you need an awl to poke into the lid so you can shake out the color or use a small fan brush if you don't want to poke the lid, just be careful of cross contamination as you dip your brush from one color to the next.

Amazing colors!

Awesome colors! I paint in watercolor, and have been looking for some that have more pigment than what I have been finding at the big box stores.. I'm not saying that these will turn you in to a professional or expert artist overnight, but they sure gave me the ability to paint special effects, and more realistic paintings, due to the multi-color pots of pigment. If I run out of these, I will absolutely restock! I'm one very happy customer. The only thing I would change, given the opportunity, would be a color indicator on the lid of each pot. I keep the color chart that comes with the paints in my paint box, so I can figure out exactly which color would work best for any given application.I would like to extend a warning to those who are new to powdered pigment. Wear a mask when dispensing the product. These, along with several other brands, are very fine powders, and become airborne quite readily. Recently I was mixing up a fair amount of red for a painting, and when finished, I noticed that my mask was covered in fine particles of the red paint. This may be non-toxic, but you don't want to breathe it in. I had used a box to contain my palette, and even after that precaution, I wiped up a fairly large circle of paint dust. So just be careful, and enjoy!

Work carefully and you’ll come to love Brusho

Powerful, vibrant, explosive color crystals.Only a little bit goes a long way.But work on a newspaper or something you can just fold up and throw away when done. One tiny crystal will explode with color if gotten wet on clothes or anything else.They can be used for backgrounds or be the star of the show by themselves.Great with multi media projects

Good solid value

Brusho has been around for decades. The reason these are called crystal colors is that they are watercolor paints that have been crystalized into a powder form. Think "instant espresso powder". There is another popular brand making the roundsthese days in what remind me of mini nose spray bottles.Those containers hold 6 grams, Brusho contains a whopping 15grams. The other brand has 18 colors, Brusho has 34. Both work the same. Price wise, you get a much better value with Brusho. The other nice thing is that you can open these pots up if you ever need to access the powder. For those wondering why this kit doesn't contain blues or purples...it is because it is a supplemental set. The spritzer set of 6 and the assortments of 12 and 24 all have a full range of mixable colors. Choose those sets instead if you are looking for a good starter assortment...this set of 8 compliments any of the other sets with no duplicates. See my answer in the question about what colors are included for a little more info.

fun stuff

These are so much fun to use. It's a surprise every time. Very vivid colors. Just need a little sprinkle to get bright vibrant color.
