Balsam Fir - Mica Watercolor Paint

Balsam Fir is an emerald green watercolor paint. It has a dark blue undertone with bright green shimmer.

DETAILS

Ingredients: Mica (mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin dioxide, ferric ferrocyanide), distilled water, gum arabic, vegetable glycerin, & clove leaf oil.

Lightfastness: Ferric ferrocyanide is also known as Prussian Blue, PB27. Prussian Blue is NOT technically lightfast as a watercolor paint, but how much and how fast it fades depends on a variety of factors. I highly recommend performing a lightfastness test if you need to be certain how this paint will perform. All the other pigments have excellent lightfastness.

Sizes: 
-Quarter pan (~1 mL, 0.74x0.59x0.2 in.)
-Half pan (~2 mL, 0.74x0.62x0.35 in.)

Notes: Small air bubbles are totally normal in handmade watercolors. I overfill my pans to offset this.

Each pan has the paint's name written on the side. Individual pans don't come with magnets.

Mica paints are notoriously difficult to photograph, but I try to capture each color as accurately as possible. Colors may vary slightly depending on your screen settings.

Balsam Fir is named for the species Abies balsamea, which is native to Maine and a few other states in the northern US. They're often cultivated for use as Christmas trees.

SAFETY

My mica paints are nontoxic when used as intended, as an artist paint. They are not formulated for and have not been tested for any other purpose.

Watercolor pans are a choking hazard (and the colors/wrappers can make them look like candy), so keep them out of reach of young children and pets.
