Brusho by Colourcraft BRU85000 Crystal Colour Assorted Pack of 12 Colours, 15 g

Product Information

The colours are a transparent, highly-pigmented watercolour ink that comes packed in small drums which contain the dry, crystalline powder.

Brusho is manufactured by Colourcraft Limited established in 1978, a family run business based in Sheffield, in the UK. Once dry you can paint over and then when your painting is dry rub off the masking fluid leaving the white of the paper. Brusho colours provide a good degree of lightfastness and all colours have a rating of between 4 and 6. Traditional watercolour painting can be stressful at times; there are lots of opportunities for the painting to go wrong. If you use a clean damp paintbrush to activate the Brusho you have sprinkled on the page you will find a more uniform spread of colour.If you want a more controlled painting but with the Brusho textured effects, you can wet the paper first, painting water shapes or background patterns, then sprinkle your Brusho powder over the designated wet areas. Colours included: brilliant red, lemon, dark brown, purple, ultramarine, black, scarlet, orange, turquoise, yellow, leaf green and emerald green.

Some colours provide a solid colour so creating a colour chart would be an exciting and informative exercise before embarking on a major project. Available in an extensive range of exciting colours, they mix instantly with cold water to produce a painting medium that is renowned for its versatility. Dry Brusho powder can also be sprinkled on top of wet watercolour paint to create additional textures. Brusho is unique in the sense that many of the effects you can achieve by using it cannot be replicated with any other media!Using any of the above simple techniques you will have a glorious spread of vibrant colour in moments. I tried tapping a small amount of the powder onto the dried paper and then spray misting and got a fun splatter effect. I think it is better to just poke a little hole in the top of the lid to turn the tub into a sort of shaker.
