Perfect for
This colour is especially suited to pointed pen calligraphy, broad edge lettering, illustration, journaling, botanical artwork, and decorative design work. Its darker tone makes it a strong choice for seasonal projects, formal stationery, and artworks where you want shimmer without using bright metallic colours.
How to use
Add a little clean water to the surface of the pearlcolor and allow it to activate for a short time before use. Once the pigments have softened, stir gently with a brush and apply as needed. You can increase the water slightly for a softer wash or keep the mixture more concentrated for bolder, more reflective results.
