How did I not know about these?!
5 Stars
How did I not know about these?!
I’ve been making art for fourteen years and this is the first I’ve ever heard of Gelatos. I adore them! They layer like chalk pastels, glide like oil pastels, and blend with water like watercolors. I didn’t even see how shiny and sparkly the iridescents are until I caught it in the right light, so they are not obviously in-your-face full of sparkles, but when it catches the light it sure does dazzle. Gelatos are my new favorite medium. You can’t get fine lines with them but it forces me out of the perfectionism box and I need that. My only concern is that they are so rich and creamy I’m afraid of using them up too quickly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2021
Gelatos are so fun to play with! They come in big crayons (head of each crayon is about the size of a thumbnail). You can leave as is or you can add water (brush included!) to blend. The more water you add the more sheer the paint becomes. I've used on both watercolor and mixed media paper. The iridescent has a lovely sheen. If I had small quibble it would be that I wish the head was smaller so I had more control on a fine line but other than that this product is excellent.
