Special Effects Watercolours



cvartcolours are specially formulated to use in the detailing & highlighting of your works and illustrations. These can be used on any porous surface (ex. Paper & wood) though best results will be discovered on good quality, 300gsm watercolour paper.  


To use your Special Effects Watercolours, start by placing a few drops of water onto the surface of each pan with either a brush or dropper.

Allow the water to sit and soak for up to 3 minutes (some colours will activate quicker than others).

Once softened dip your brush into the paint and begin working. As you continue, simply add a little more water as needed to maintain a smooth and consistent flow of colour. 

Keep in mind that Special Effects Watercolours behave a little differently than traditional matte paints. When diluted they often create granulating effects (beautiful in its own right) but they truly shine when used for finer details, adding that extra wow factor to your artworks!
