Have you tried metallic paints? ✨
I have a little confession. In the middle of the night - when I couldn't sleep, I ordered not one but TWO sets of metallic watercolors, 🤣and now I'm watching the door waiting for them to arrive 😄
I think they will be great for a secret project I've got coming up in the run-up to Christmas. 😍
It started because a couple of you have been sharing work in the daily thread made with these shimmery paints, and I couldn't stop looking at it. The way they catch the light is just gorgeous. Golds, coppers, pearly pinks, those deep peacock blues... they look like little pots of treasure.

So I'm really curious to hear from you.
✨ Have you tried metallic paints yet? What was it like the first time you swirled a brush through one?
🖌️ If you haven't, would you give them a go? What would you want to paint with them first?
📸 And if you've already used them in your sketchbook, I'd love to see it! Pop a photo in the comments if you fancy sharing.

As soon as mine turn up, I'll share my first play with them here, and we can figure them out together 💛
