Add shimmering metallic accents to watercolors with eight lightfast colors
Fine metallic pigments suspended in gum arabic create genuine shimmer rather than flat metallic appearance. Cotman's metallic half-pans contain mica particles that catch light from multiple angles, producing dimensional effects that shift as viewing position changes. These eight colors, iridescent blue, yellow gold, bronze, red copper, silver, pewter, iridescent black, and iridescent white, layer over dried watercolor washes to add highlights, or work directly on white or toned paper for full metallic impact.
The compact palette fits in a jacket pocket while providing serious mixing capability. The lid converts to a generous mixing surface for color blending and value adjustments, while the integrated travel brush handles both broad washes and detail work without requiring separate storage. Four empty wells let you customize the palette with standard Cotman colors, creating a complete portable setup for location work or travel sketching.
Metallic watercolors perform differently than traditional transparent pigments, they sit on the paper surface rather than staining, creating effects from subtle shimmer in calligraphy to bold metallic passages in illustration. The formulation maintains Winsor & Newton's lightfastness standards, so metallic accents won't fade faster than surrounding colors in finished work.
