Interference Lilac, part of the Luminescent Watercolors collection, is a transparent violet that refracts light (causes light to scatter). When glazed over dark colors or painted directly onto black paper, it has a sweet shine. When painted on white paper, it displays a subtle sheen.
Luminescent Watercolors are perfect for painting nature’s optical surprises – like the sparkling colors you see in bird feathers, insect bodies, fish scales and seashells. Many types of flowers have a pearly, dewy sheen. Consider the iridescence of a snail’s trail, a silvery spider’s web, a golden moon, clouds at sunset, icy snow and water reflections. Fantasy subjects like fairies, dragons and mermaids also have beautiful shimmering features.
Starting with 10 parts water to 1 part paint (by weight) in the palette, our chemist paints the top half of the swatch uniformly with a round brush to show the paint’s color and characteristics. For the bottom half, he dips a ¾” flat brush into the paint well just once, then applies the color in stripes until the brush is dry, which shows the color’s tone and behavior through a wash. We use these swatches for color matching during the manufacturing process.
