Perfect for

This shade is ideal for pointed pen calligraphy, broad edge lettering, illustration, journaling, card making, and decorative painting. Its rich wine red tone works especially well in floral palettes, romantic stationery, festive designs, winter projects, and artwork where a darker metallic red adds elegance and depth.

How to use

Add a little clean water to the surface of the pearlcolor and allow it to activate briefly before use. Once softened, stir gently with a brush until the colour becomes smooth and ready to apply. Use a more concentrated mix for stronger reflective detail or slightly more water for softer washes and layered effects.
