Celeste Handmade Watercolor Paint Half and Quarter Pans Shimmer Watercolor Glitter Watercolor
$4.25
Details
Hand-mulled, hand-poured celeste shimmer and glitter mica watercolor paint in half pans. This is a light and beautiful teal with teal glitter! The particles of glitter are bigger than the mica pigment in this paint but it has a beautiful glittery effect and the glitter stays on the paper!! I have included swatches on white cold press watercolor paper, black cold press watercolor paper, and kraft smooth paper. The swatch on the right side is just a single wash layer and the left side is a more deliberate, concentrated wash done in a few layers to give you a full idea of the paints' nuances and beauty. A magnet has been attached at the bottom of the pan.
**Please note: If you are wetting and storing the half pans in a tin that you apply water directly to, the magnet will likely eventually detach from the pan. It can safely be reattached with hot glue, super glue, or any other type of strong adhesive you choose.**
Half pans measure as follows: 1.6x1.9(top) 1.5x1.8(bottom) and 1cm height. The pan holds 2 ml but usually includes more because of the extra layer on top.
My paints are made with a binder that consists of gum arabic, vegetable glycerin, honey, and clove oil. All of these ingredients work together well to give you paint that won't mold and will work great each time you wet and rewet it. Please store in a cool, dry place and do not close or cover your tins/storage containers until your paint is dried after use. These watercolors are not intended for children without the supervision of an adult. Unless indicated my paints are made with mica pigment.
Bubbles and occasionally a crack or crinkle are part of the natural drying process for watercolor paint. These do not affect the quality of the paint. I do my best to get rid of all bubbles but occasionally some do make it to the drying stage. For this reason, I always pour an extra layer to make up for any bubble pockets. The paints are poured in a 3 to 4 part process to ensure the paint dries properly.
This pigment and glitter combination is trickier than traditional mica pigmented paint BUT the payoff is worth it! This batch turned out great but did have a bubble on the top of most of the half pans. I put extra paint on them and bubbles do NOT affect the function of the paint.
When using the paints it is important to first place one to two drops of water and then wait at least a minute or two and then swirl the brush in the paint for best results. The water has to activate the paint. If you place water on top and paint immediately you will likely get a very thin and watery result.
I do recommend shipping insurance if you are concerned about how the USPS handles packages. I package each order with care and will ensure that it is properly protected but I cannot control what happens to it once it leaves my hands.
If you have any kind of question or issue please contact me and I will be more than happy to assist you!

Why do some paints have "pillow tops" and some do not?
Some pigments are larger, thicker, and a bit more finicky. Adding a pillow top won't work in these cases. I will always reflect that in pricing the non-pillow topped pans.
Why do some pans cost more than others?
I utilize multiple pigment sources and prices vary. Any that are chrome, interference, metallic, chameleon and any other speciality is often double the pricing (or more) of regular mica pigment. I will always give the best price according to the cost of pigment.

Yes! I am happy to help create a color! If you are looking for a specific color, message me and I will be glad to assist. I have over 100 varieties and types of mica so most of the time I will be able to accomodate. Spread the creativity!!!
Can I order a color I don't see that you sent me in a dot sample?
Most of the time I can! If you have a dot sample of something I have made that is not in the store yet it means that I have made the paint but haven't put the listing up yet. When possible, I am more than happy to create a custom order for the paint(s). Just send me a message!
