Ghost pearls are amazing. Once you have your base colours in place, these add a shine not visible until you have the light right on your work. Today I painted mackerel fish and an additional top coat... See more

Great colours especially the metallic. I love using them. Just wish they had colour label on them. I ordered so many very similar and they confuse me. Otherwise great service

Delighted in regional Australia

I placed my order from regional Australia so was a little dubious the paints would arrive at all. When they did arrive I was delighted with the packaging and colour guide inside. Then I used the paints and Skrim Watercolours are now the one I tell everyone about. The pigments are not only stunning in colour but move beautifully on the 300gsm cotton paper I use. These paints are so good, I placed a second order plus ordered a gift for a friend. Highly recommend!

The Golden Key… The website was easy to follow with…

The website was easy to follow with great pictures to showcase all the colours. I live in Canada so the package has a long way to travel and their website kept me updated day by day so I knew exactly when they would arrive! The packaging was great because everything was protected but the packaging wasn’t wasteful.

Beautiful shimmer and magical colours!

Beautiful shimmer and magical colours!

I absolutely love using Skrim watercolours in my illustrations! The shimmer and metallic effects add such a beautiful touch to my artwork, especially when painting birds and nature-inspired subjects. The gold is particularly lovely, with great opacity and a beautiful finish without obvious brush marks. The colours bring an extra dimension to my watercolour and ink illustrations, making little details stand out beautifully.

A wonderful addition to my art supplies, especially for anyone who loves experimenting with shimmer and metallic effects. I’m looking forward to exploring more colours and creating more artwork with them!

Skrim paints are quality and great value
They last such a long time and the quality is the same right down to the last sparkle. I use these in all my watercolour paintings and in my Pyrography burnings now. Thank you Skrim.🥰🧑‍🎨

Skirm watercolors are the best…

Skirm watercolors are the best pigments, for very interesting effects too. The littlest but lasts a long way. I had a good experience with Skirm and will order again. Surprisingly fast shipping and quality product at fair pricing. Skirm has beautiful colors that are just magical effects I'm glad I discovered them.

Be careful ordering from UK!

Wish I had read the reviews here as about to get stung with import duties, VAT and a Royal Mail handling charge which was not made clear when ordering from the UK. Not good enough to just have that information buried in the small print. It should be flagged up at checkout. Other businesses do this. The paints are expensive enough without having to pay so much more. Also delivery times aren't accurate. Still waiting after over two weeks.

Ghost pearls are amazing

Ghost pearls are amazing. Once you have your base colours in place, these add a shine not visible until you have the light right on your work. Today I painted mackerel fish and an additional top coat of pearl silver is perfect. Love these paints.

Wonderful watercolors

Wonderful watercolors! Nice sized pans, larger than any others I have seen, Vibrant colors that are full of pigments and the "Ghost peals" are fabulous. I already ordered a second set! The Skrim Gold is the best Gold available today IMO. I am going to order more of it as well. They take a little time to get here in the US but they are well worth the wait. Skrim includes the Tariffs in the price which is such a relief!!(we will all be glad when those tariffs are gone!)I used the gold for accents in my paintings. It adds a whole new dimension in them.

Customer support above and beyond

I received my items in perfect condition in a timely manner. I always swatch my mediums and reached out to the owner to provide the names of my paints. Moe went above and beyond the call of duty and patiently provided the necessary support.
