Kraft Lab Tuesday - Dylusions Experiment

Hello All:

Today, I experimented with using Dylusions by Ranger as watercolors.  I placed a little bit of the liquid delusions in a plastic pill container.  I was able to get at least 6 colors in and snapped the lids shut.

Experiment #1 - Will the liquid dylusions evaporate?

Experiment #2 - How intense are the colors during application with a watercolor paint brush?

Experiment #3 -  When mixing delusions with acrylic paint, did either mediums fade or bleed?


Results:

Experiment #1 - Ongoing will report next Week.  No evaporation after 24 hours.

Experiment #2 - The colors are intense via first application, but intensity does diminish with the addition of water or  when trying to clean the brush.  It takes a while for the brush to become clean as the water keeps the color useful.  I see many benefits of delusions use for watercoloring.  I was able to use the color "white picket fence" on top of the main color

Experiment #3 - The use of delusions over acrylic paint does not effect either medium on the journal page....page is a watercolor paper.

Summary:

I have to say that I love using Dylusions by Ranger as watercolor paint.   I was able to write using my handwriting using the stem of the spray bottle.  This was a illuminating Kraft Lab.   Enjoy!

Kraft Lab Saturday

Hello all:

Snow a again today here in Maryland.   I found a pic of a beautiful sky to give me hope of spring.

Also, spent the day in my "Kraft Lab" prepping watercolor postcard by cutting them and using stampin up markers and water to give a color wash.    Played with dylusions by Ranger.  Take a look at theses pages in my handmade experimental journal.  Do you see any color variation?  What one will notice is that the page on the right is lighter due to the use of gesso ( as a foundation) along with homemade color sprays.  The page on the left used all dylusions with India ink added with green dylusions on the edge.  I actually like effect.  Keep using color!
