## Long description

SMARTMAX Watercolour iridescent medium 75 ml is a pearlescent additive formulated for use with water-based paints and watercolour pigments. The medium mixes easily with watercolour to produce a subtle shimmer and metallic sheen that enhances highlights, decorative details and special effects in illustrations, calligraphy, greeting cards and craft projects. Packaged in a 75 ml bottle, the product is intended for hobbyists, students and professional artists seeking controlled pearlescent effects without altering the working properties of watercolour paint.
Advantages
This iridescent medium blends with watercolour pigments to add a stable pearlescent finish and soft luminous reflections. It is designed to maintain the fluidity and rewetting behaviour of watercolour while delivering even metallic sheen when diluted or layered. The medium is easy to mix, dries to a light, non-gritty finish and can be applied with brushwork, washes or glazing techniques to emphasise highlights and decorative accents.
Suitable for
Enhancing highlights and decorative details in watercolour illustrations and botanical art
Adding metallic shimmer to calligraphy, lettering and greeting cards
Creating subtle pearlescent effects in mixed-media and craft projects
School and hobby art lessons where controlled shimmer is desired
When it may not be suitable
This medium is formulated specifically for water-based paints and watercolour pigments; it may not perform as intended with solvent-based or oil paints. For fully opaque metallic coverage other products such as gouache or metallic inks may be more appropriate. Extremely fine details that require permanent matt results could lose some definition due to the reflective nature of the pearlescent finish.
Key specifications
Volume: 75 ml
Finish: Pearlescent / iridescent
Compatibility: Water-based paints and watercolour pigments
Application methods: Brush, wash, glaze
Drying: Dries to a light sheen; reworkable when wet depending on dilution
How to use
Shake the bottle gently before use. Mix a small amount of the iridescent medium into your watercolour palette or mix directly with diluted pigments until the desired level of shimmer is achieved. Apply with a brush using washes, glazes or small brushstrokes to accent highlights and decorative areas. Allow layers to dry between applications for more intense pearlescent effect; thin with water to reduce intensity. Clean brushes with water immediately after use.
What to consider before purchase
Designed for water-based and watercolour paints — not for oil or solvent-based media
Produces a translucent pearlescent sheen rather than opaque metallic coverage
Test on a sample sheet to determine desired mix ratio and drying appearance
Usage recommendations
For controlled effects, start with a low ratio of medium to pigment and build up layers. Use on good-quality watercolour paper to optimise sheen and avoid paper buckling; allow each layer to dry fully before adding further pearlescent glazes.
