Yes! All of our CVArtColours watercolours are vegan friendly!

Each type of special effects watercolour creates a different finish:

• Metallic watercolours produce a rich shimmer with a pearlescent appearance.
• Chrome watercolours offer a bold, mirror-like metallic finish.
• Holographic watercolours create a rainbow sparkle that reflects multiple colours in the light.
• Colour-shifting watercolours appear to change colour depending on the viewing angle and lighting.

Each effect brings something unique to your artwork, and many artists enjoy combining them for even more striking results.

No. CVArtColours watercolours achieve their sparkle using premium mica and special effect pigments rather than craft glitter. This produces a much finer, smoother finish with brilliant shimmer, holographic reflections and colour-shifting effects without the chunky texture associated with glitter.

Absolutely! Special effects watercolours are suitable for artists of all experience levels. Whether you're new to watercolour painting or an experienced artist looking to explore special effects: Metallic, chrome, holographic and colour-shifting paints are easy to activate and fun to experiment with.

Yes! Metallic, chrome and many colour-shifting watercolours are excellent for calligraphy, brush lettering, invitations, greeting cards and decorative artwork. For the best results, use smooth paper and quality brushes or dip pens suitable for water-based paints.

CVArtColours are made using artist-quality ingredients, and are considered non-toxic. Many of our paints are also skin-safe due to the use of cosmetic-grade pigments. However, they are not intended for consumption and should always be used as directed. As with all art supplies, they should be kept out of reach of young children unless under adult supervision.
