Backgroud Work

Wet the page with clean water, swirl in your paint and watch it bloom out. The shimmer disperses for an all over subtle shimmery effect. Perfect for creating a backgrounds to build on.

Glazing

Glazing is where you paint light layers over each other to fomr shadows, shading and new colours. Make sure the first layer is completely dry before painting over the top- use a light hand to avooid reactivating the pigment underneath. 

The metallic element of these paints brings in a unpredictability to the finish- makes for an interesting experience! Helps you to let go and embrace slight imperfection.

Drip Drop

An interesting trick is to let water with paint flow down the drawing. Put your drawing more vertically and leave a drop of water with metallic paint in some place, then add one more, and again.

Alternate the drops – one with water, one with paint. The drops will drip and leave a sparkling metallic track. You can even rotate the drawing to set the direction. Enjoy!
