The review for these Bright Gelatos could be summed up in one word: PERFECTION.
Since it's impossible for me to leave a review that short (seriously - I might even call myself grandiloquent...no, I wouldn't - I'd call myself a big mouth lol), I have to tell you why I find them to be totally superb. Let's talk about the color - delicious bright shades of tropical colors. These are the colors I would surround myself with in my world. I love how vivid and luscious they are.
Consistency: Like a velvety lipstick, they lay down color on every surface I've tried with splendid results. It doesn't take much to create a piece that really sings - especially when water is added. Using the included paintbrush with some water will allow you to move these yummy creams around your project with incredible ease. Adding a little water will just turn these into succulent watercolors - adding more water will allow you to achieve the "washed out" look that is so popular right now. (See my photo of the house I made with these.)
The included paintbrush: LOVE the quality! Usually brushes that are included with a kit (of any sort) are awful...but this one isn't. I really do ADORE it! I have used it for so many things. It's my favorite brush and I get small panic attacks when I think about how I'll get along when it's done. Hasn't lost a single hair, is firm, but not too firm, picks up the perfect amount of water...ahhh. I love this thing!
Versatility: Gelatos will work on just about any substrate you're pondering. You also have tons of options when it comes to putting them on the substrate...slice of a little and put it in some water in a spray bottle and mist it on your project. Apply directly from the tube. Use a paintbrush. Use a wet paintbrush. Use a cotton bud. A tissue. Your finger. A palette knife. Dauber. Sponge. It's late, I'm tired and not feeling creative right now - but you get the idea.
Gelatos are fantastic for experienced artists and newbies alike. They are my new favorite supply - which says a lot. (My house is like a mix of Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and Dick Blick combined....but only because I would need the square footage of all three of those stores to properly store all my supplies!)
Workable fixative seems to hold these in place, although I have to say that I haven't noticed any color change when adding another wet medium AFTER these have THOROUGHLY DRIED. I also like to use a combination of clear gesso and clear varnish (in a thin coat) to make sure everything stays the same on a prior layer, while adding some tooth for a new layer.
If you are looking for an amazing colorful supply, CLICK BUY!! What are you waiting for? Oh - and these also come with two sponge wedges (like make up applicators) - one soft and one hard. If these things would make me coffee in the morning, I would so run away with them.
