Sunday Swatching - with PaperArtsy Mattints

Sunday Swatching.
Once or twice a month, I'll be swatching various mediums in various ways, most often watercolours. Sometimes they'll be new ones, sometimes old favourites in new combinations. Join me in exploring the joy of watching pigment and water play together!
Meet the PaperArtsy Mattints - a completely new colour medium. It's a tinted matte glaze, completely transparent, and amazing for layering, gluing, glazing, tinting and painting. I've been swatching the eight existing colours, and exploring with them in various ways. Join me at the craft table to see this fabulous palette emerging.
(See the journal pages I mention in the video - a large double page spread of my PaperArtsy Printed Tissue being watercoloured with Daniel Smith paints: • A few minutes of fun -... here.)
PaperArtsy Mattints - Dragonfly, Fern, Glow, Jam, Nutty, Shark, Squeezed, The Pink
I received these Mattints as part of my work as a designer for PaperArtsy, but I would definitely have bought the other colours if I'd only received a sample or two!

I'm so happy to hear that you found it both relaxing and enjoyable. I love to swatch, especially when I'm exploring a new(ish) medium... and yes, I completely agree about PaperArtsy paints... and these new Mattints really add another world of possibility.

And now I am also obessed. Thank you. I may never have tried this product because of the way it looks in the bottles but the translucence is splendid. Great fun.

I must do this type of swatch when shark arrives because I am sure that it’s even more magical in real life!! Yay! Thank you!

So happy that you enjoyed this colourful swatching, and I hope you have lots of fun playing and blending and mixing and layering the Mattints when you get a chance. As you can probably tell, I love Shark a LOT... I hope you like it too! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comments.

Hi Alison… I was just thinking about Sunday Swatching and here it is! YAY… I really enjoyed the swatching process and seeing those amazing subdued transparent colors… I will look forward to adding them to my collection of PaperArtsy paints (my favorite brand) when they’re available to me. So many possibilities for these Mattints! Thanks for sharing your creativity and inspiration! Have a great day! 🙂

I haven't even finish the video...yet, but your joy in color is contagious. I'm new to your channel and almost skipped this thinking I wouldn't enjoy it as much as others. But it's very fun and interesting. I have shark and now I can't wait to use it. I love your channel and I seem to love the same colors you do and have also, as I've gotten older, learned to like the purple family colors more (still not in love with pinks however). But I do NOT like gardening, lol.

@w0rdsandp1ctures 2 ай бұрын

My palette tends to be very led by the seasons... my Instagram grid looks very different in autumn than it does in spring! And those colour shifts all feed me in different ways. I tend to favour the cooler end of most shades, and definitely natural tones over neons or artificial. That's where pinks have started to arrive, I guess - via the roses (and now ranunculus) in the garden, as I said. And five years ago, I'd have said the exact same thing about gardening!! Colour is such a powerful emotive force - endlessly fascinating. I'm so happy you enjoyed this swatching video as well as the Few Minutes of Fun. The channel itself is relatively new (I've only been adding content regularly for a few months, compared to years on IG or my blog), so there's plenty more to come... Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

“The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most.” John Ruskin Colors make me so happy. And judging by the comments section, I am thankfully not alone in this. 🙂 Thank you for doing this Sunday Swatching series. I so enjoy it. Cheers from California, USA

My first three colours (shark, fern and jam) arrived today, together with your printed tissue; I can't wait to play! I was going to wait until next month for some more colours - but I don't think that I can 😁

@w0rdsandp1ctures 24 күн бұрын

Oh, that's a great combination to start with... if you make a little three way mixing grid with those, you'll get lots of delicious subtle shades. I hope you'll have lots of fun playing, both with the Mattints and with the tissue.

I don't know whether you can access this link (if you're a member of the PaperArtsy People Group on FB, you definitely can... if not, maybe you can)... but there's a colour wheel PDF there which you can print and use to play with mixing up your three new Mattints. facebook.com/groups/paperartsypeople/permalink/969177500624224?locale=ms_MY Just ignore where it says Red, Yellow and Blue and put in Fern, Shark and Jam instead!

It is so beautiful! But now, I am wondering how color mixing is going to be different from what you did of color layering? So now you’ve done it! I must figure out how to make a swatch sheet that does at least all three ways but maybe even more! Like you, I just love looking at the beautiful colors!! The pink and squeezed are so far my favorite! But then, pink is one of my favorites!! Thank you! Again!!

@w0rdsandp1ctures 2 ай бұрын

You actually get pretty much the same result if you pre-mix your colours on the mat - though obviously that way you can play with the balance of the mix in one go rather than adding layers of this colour or that one to get the shade you want. I think I did wave the tags I'd made with the Printed Tissue at one point and on those I mixed my colours on the mat before painting the images so it definitely works both ways!

Mattints are a lovely new toy to play with! I did do a Live for PaperArtsy with those tags I showed during this video... hopefully, you can get to it via the link below (I'm not sure if you have to be a member of the PaperArtsy People FB Group or not to watch). If you can't, I will be doing something similar as part of A Few MInutes of Fun some time soon... There's no full craft room tour, sorry - just the glimpses I'm sharing in the Shorts, and plenty of photos scattered through my IG feed over the years. Thanks as always for your company and comments.
