- Pigment: PW 20, PW 6 | Series: 1Lightfastness: I – Excellent Transparency: Transparent Staining: 1-Non-StainingGranulation: Non-Granulating Interference Green is a glimmering and transparent emerald when glazed over dark colors or painted directly onto black paper, and when painted on white paper, Interference pigments display a subtle sheen.
- Interference Watercolors, part of the DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolors collection, refract light, causing light to scatter.
- Why choose Luminescent Watercolors? Because Nature has optical surprises in the colors that you see in birds’ feathers, insects, fish, and seashells, many flowers also have a pearly, dewy sheen to them.
- Consider the iridescence of a snail’s trail or a silvery spider’s web.
- Other things that also have a sparkle, or glow depending on the light, a silvery or golden moon, clouds aglow at sunset, rainbows, the sparkle of snow and ice, and glint of water reflections.
- Don’t forget the sheen of metals like pewter, copper, silver, and gold.
- There are also mythic subjects that are often thought of as having a special iridescence to them such as fairies, dragons, mermaids and other fantasy figures.
- DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolors add that touch of special color found in nature that regular colors cannot match.
- They’re made from mica pigment, thin transparent particles coated with highly reflective metal oxides.
- Luminescent Watercolors show best as glazes over darker colors and are excellent mixed with other colors adding a bit of their luminescent glow.
