Playing with Color Burst


Ooh, I love playing with a new product, and these are fun!  Color Burst by Ken Oliver, are highly concentrated water colour (color??!) powders in little bottles with a built-in nozzle. Just add water!


I made a little video of my playtime :-)

    1. Although these ink powders work really really well with watercolour paper, I didn't have any so I used cartridge paper. Hope that helps!

  11. Hello Kate! Your work makes my eyes happy! Q: I was able to get Color Burst last year, but in little pots instead of the spray bottles you use. Are they currently available both ways, or did one replace the other? Thanks a bunch!

    1. Hi Maria, As far as I know Colorburst just comes in little bottles but it a loose powder inside. You can mix them with water to make your own water based sprays though.
