When I don't have the money for gold leaf, this is an excellent alternative. I mix in a bit of gold ochre to tone down the mica to look more balanced. I really love it!
It helps me so much to get an idea of what colors the pigments will look like on their own and mixed. So glad I purchased this visual tool!
Beautiful pigment! I am so excited to begin my icon of Our Lady of Sorrows!
My son has been begging for face paint for over a year and finally I took the time to deep dive on different brands and ingredients to find something truly non toxic and am delighted to have found this! You can replace colors individually when you run out, it doesn't stain your face, and best of all it's full of wholesome ingredients! It's even made in Oregon! Couldn't be happier!
This paint performs as well (or better) than any paint I've ever tried (Liquitex, Golden, Amsterdam, Pebeo, Windsor Newton). It's thick bodied (which can always be thinned), highly pigmented, provides great coverage, and most importantly...SAFE. This is the ONLY paint I'll be buying going forward.
I absolutely adore methyl cellulose as a natural adhesive for all of my thinner collage papers, especially tissue papers. It dries with a beautiful matte finish and I am never concerned about getting it all over my hands. :)
