Cardinal - Mica Watercolor Paint

Cardinal is a shimmery red watercolor paint. Unlike many red micas, its color comes from iron oxide pigment, not dye, making it lightfast.

DETAILS

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

Lightfastness: All of the Cardinal 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.

SAFETY

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

Watercolor pans are small and colorful, making them a potential choking hazard. Be sure to keep them out of reach of young children or pets.
