Why You Should Use Metallic Watercolor Paints?

If you're into painting, you've probably heard of watercolors. But have you ever tried metallic watercolor paints? These shimmery paints can bring a fresh, exciting look to your artwork.

1. Sparkle and shine

Metallic watercolors sparkle in the light, adding a magical touch to your art. Imagine painting a night sky and making the stars truly shine or giving butterfly wings that perfect, glimmering finish. These paints can make your artwork stand out and catch the eye.

2. Perfect for Highlights

Want to make certain parts of your painting pop? Metallic paints are great for adding highlights and bringing details of your painting to life.

3. Versatility

Metallic paints are super versatile. You can use them with regular watercolors to create unique effects or layer them on top for a subtle shimmer. 

4. Create the Mood

Metallic watercolors can change the whole mood of your painting. They can make it feel festive (that's why they are so perfect for those Holiday cards!) dreamy or  mysterious. 

5. Easy and Fun to Use

Metallics are as easy to use and super fun to paint with. They will encourage you to paint more and what can be better than that? :)

6. Lightfast and archival

Not only do metallic paints make your art look amazing, but they also last long. The shine doesn’t fade over time, keeping your artwork looking brilliant for years.
