Watercolor Paint Set Derform KIDEA — Metallic, 12 Colors

Derform KIDEA — Metallic, 12 Colors watercolor paint set provides twelve light-reflective metallic shades formulated for watercolor techniques, illustration, crafts and school projects. The compact palette is designed to deliver shimmering accents on paper and mixed-media surfaces, enabling users to add metallic highlights and decorative effects without complex preparation. The set is suitable for hobbyists, students and artists who need portable metallic watercolors for detail work and embellishment.

Advantages

The metallic paints offer consistent pigment distribution and good flow for wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry watercolor methods. Shades are formulated to retain a metallic sheen after drying, producing subtle to pronounced reflective effects depending on application thickness. The travel-friendly tray keeps twelve distinct pans organized and ready for spontaneous sketching, classroom use or craft sessions.

Suitable for

• Watercolor techniques on watercolor paper and mixed-media supports
• Illustration, callouts and accents in drawings
• School art projects and hobby crafts
• Cardmaking, scrapbooking and decorative detailing

Key specifications

• Number of colors: 12 metallic shades
• Formulation: water-soluble metallic pigments suitable for watercolor techniques
• Finish: reflective metallic sheen when dry
• Packaging: compact tray with individual pans for portable use
• Compatibility: suitable for watercolor and mixed-media papers

How to use

Activate the metallic pans with a small amount of water and mix on a palette or directly in the pan until the desired intensity is achieved. Apply with a soft round or flat brush depending on the effect: dilute for translucent washes or use sparingly for stronger metallic highlights and details. Allow layers to dry between applications when building opacity or adding overlays to preserve metallic sheen and avoid muddying colors.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use heavier-weight watercolor or mixed-media paper to support multiple layers and preserve reflectivity. Clean brushes promptly after use to maintain pigment clarity, and test on a scrap piece to evaluate sheen and dilution before working on final projects.
