Bring shine to your artwork by adding lustre with Iridescent Medium. Pearlescent particles add metallic effect to watercolour and is particularly effective when mixed with transparent colours especially over dark backgrounds. Mix with transparent watercolour or apply over a dried wash. Shake well before use.

Why is this an unsung hero?
Applied alongside conventional watercolour, this medium offers a subtle but pleasing contrast in texture. I’d use it for imparting a painterly, pearly glow; for enhancing vibrancy, or to visualise a chimerical or celebratory atmosphere.
