Red Maple - Mica Watercolor Paint

Red Maple is a hot pink watercolor paint with subtle shimmer. Many red/hot pink micas are colored with dyes, making them fugitive (non-lightfast). Red Maple is only colored with pigments, making it more resistant to fading than fluorescent, neon, or other dye-based watercolors.

DETAILS

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

Lightfastness: All of the pigments in Red Maple 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.

Red Maple is named for the tree species Acer rubrum, which is native to Maine and most of the eastern US. 

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 use.

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.
