Metallic Watercolors/Pigments

Image
Metallic watercolor paints I absolutely love are by Finetec.  These paints are made in Germany and have bright opaque pigmentation.  This particular set comes in a set of six different metallic paints with five being various shades of gold and one pot with silver paint.  These paints can be used as watercolors or as calligraphy ink.  They dry beautifully and retain the luster.   One downside to these paint is that they are not waterproof.  Meaning, once the paint dries, it can be re-hydrated, which can be desired trait in some cases but when it comes to calligraphy or creating an outline, lack of permanence means your lines will smug and mix with other paints.
