- Why Luminescent Watercolors?
- 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 spiders’ 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.
