101K views · 6.1K reactions | Although I don’t use pearlescent or metallic watercolors often .. I still like to keep a bottle of iridescent medium from @winsorandnewton on hand for when I feel like adding a little shimmer to a painting.  It’s not a necessary tool … but it’s FUN! 

Here are a few helpful tips when using iridescent medium and a few pros and cons.

⭐️TIPS

•Apply directly for a bright, shimmering effect, apply iridescent medium directly from the bottle on top of a dry wash.

•Mix with color
For a more subtle shimmer, mix iridescent medium with non-iridescent colors. 

Use on black paper
For maximum drama, use iridescent medium on black paper, YES  they do make black watercolor paper too! leaving enough black or other non-iridescent colors to maintain contrast.
