Borealis - Mica Watercolor Paint

Borealis is a shimmery magenta watercolor paint. It has a pink undertone and blue shimmer, giving it a purple/magenta color overall.

DETAILS

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

Lightfastness: All of the above pigments have excellent lightfastness. I would not expect any fading, but I always recommend testing for lightfastness if you need to be certain of how a paint will perform.

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.

Borealis is named for the northern lights, aurora borealis, which itself is derived from the name of a Greek god, Boreas.

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.
