- Hi guys! How are you doing?
Spring is finally here and I feel super inspired by the sun, the birds, the foxes that pop up at the back of my building and, of course, the flowers!
This month I really spoiled myself and got a bunch of handmade watercolour paints from different small businesses, so I'm super excited to share them with you.
In today's video I'll be swatching Arkaar Creation, a lovely brand of handmade watercolours and hardbound sketchbooks made in India. The colours are super rich, textured and feel really nice to paint with.
Have you tried their paints? Let me know in the comments :)

ABOUT ME: My name is Carolina. I’m originally from Brazil, but I live in Dublin, Ireland.
I’ve always thought of sharing some of my happy discoveries and art here on RUclips, and recently finally decided to give it a try.
My channel is new and small, but I’m happy to have you here and so I can keep sharing and growing with this wonderful community of artists and art enthusiasts.
My academic background is in literature, but I’ve always been passionate about creating art and art supplies. My favourite art supplies are watercolours, but I also use ink, gouache and coloured pencils on occasion.
This channel is all about sharing new and exciting art supplies, where to get them and what to do with them. I will also be sharing some of my art and techniques.

Thank you so much for the lovely video Carol..❤️ you searched them so beautifully. I hope you will enjoy using them. ☺️
I certainly will, thanks for making them so nicely! ☺️
Just wow the colors look so nice! And I think the free color you got would work well with this set 😍
Yes indeed, I think it really suits the palette ☺️
the colours look lovely and pigmented, can't wait to see what you create with them ☺
Oh I have some plans already about what to paint with them, hopefully I manage to share it soon! thanks for watching and commenting ☺️
These look lovely! Great swatches.
Thank you 😊
When you said "from India" I suddenly thought of Blue Pine Arts. That was a company run by a woman named Trupti. And then I realized I hadn't gotten one of their emails in months. I guess she rebranded and moved back to India? Either way she makes great watercolors! Edit: Nevermind! I looked it up and Trupti from Blue Pine Arts is still doing Blue Pine Arts. There are two Truptis from India that have handmade watercolor businesses!
That’s funny, but I remember indeed some confusion with the name also in one of Natasha Newton’s videos, so you aren’t the first to think that 😄
I'm not a fan of handmade watercolours myself, they are just too heavy and opaque, but I love watching some nice swatching 😁😍
I think it depends more on the pigments themselves than being handmade, many earthy colours like those PR101 I swatched can be very opaque even in commercial paints. What I find interesting with handmade is that you can get some very unusual mineral or natural pigments otherwise hard to find. I’ll be sharing swatches of those soon, so keep tuned 🙂 and thank you for commenting, I appreciate you like the swatch sesh!
@@coloredcarol8074 in that case it's more about how finely the pigment has been grounded. Of course pigments impact the opacity but compared to the same pigments, the handmade watercolours generally sit heavier and more opaque. It's just quite difficult for people at home or in small businesses who mill by hand to achieve the same results as machines in bigger companies. It's a question of preference, some people like, others don't.
Even in big companies paints the size of pigment particle impacts a lot the final feeling of the paint. Schminke's Ultramarine Finest is the least granulating of the Ultramarine colours.
@@huskytail that interferes too, it’s true. It’s good to know your preferences in regards to materials, nowadays we are spoiled for choice so, there’s something for everyone.
Its very interesting to see how different they look when they dry vs when they're applied. Also, speaking as just a beginner here but I didn't know custom, hand-made watercolors were thing, let alone something that would be made in my country. Thanks for the interesting and informative video!
Thank you for your kind comment! Indeed, some colours have quite a colour shift from wet to dry. And if you ever get a chance I’d say try handmade, it’s definitely special.
Just wanted to let you know that the link to the store for the watercolours isn’t working
Hi! They closed the shop for maintenance at the moment, but you can sign up for the newsletter for when they reopen or contact them via Instagram 😉
Don't do this to me. I've been wanting to try these so bad. Now I have to! 😂
Oh no! 🙈 I recommend you join their telegram group, she posts sales, discount codes and new colours there first! Hope that helps ☺️ (on the other hand, I’ll be sharing more watercolours I got so, more temptation I suppose! 🫣
