Perfect for

This shade is ideal for pointed pen calligraphy, broad edge lettering, illustration, journaling, card making, and decorative painting. Its warm reddish-brown tone works especially well in autumn palettes, botanical themes, rustic designs, heritage-inspired projects, and artwork where a deeper metallic earth tone adds character and warmth.

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.
