Holbein Artists' Watercolour Chromashine Set 8 x 5ml

CHROMASHINE Set of 8

Holbein Artists' Iridescent Watercolour

8 x 5ml tubes, set W797, opaque metallic iridescent colours

The Holbein Artists' Watercolour Chromashine Set 8 x 5ml is for the painter who wants their highlights to shout. CHROMASHINE is a highly opaque metallic watercolour that stays vivid whatever you paint it over, so it glints on white paper, glows on dark washes and absolutely sings on black. Eight colours, from Red and Pink to Azure and Violet, all with a shift of colour as you tilt the page. Subtle it is not, and that is exactly the point.

★ Art Shed Staff Tip

Paint Chromashine last, over a fully dry painting, with a fairly dry brush. Because it is opaque, it sits on top beautifully, which makes it perfect for lettering, outlines, stars and the gleam on a jewel.

Holbein CHROMASHINE set

Most metallic watercolours disappear over dark colour. CHROMASHINE is built to be opaque, so its colour and sheen stay strong over anything, which opens up painting on black and coloured papers.

It is part of Holbein's Iridescent range, a family of polarised colours that shift as the light moves. Use it straight for impact, or mix it into your other colours for a metallic edge.

Getting the Most From Chromashine

Stir before you paint. Metallic particles settle, so give the paint in your palette a quick swirl with the brush to keep the shine even.

Try a dark ground. Paint a quick wash of Indigo or black, let it dry, then add Chromashine on top. The contrast is jaw dropping.

Questions About the Holbein Chromashine Watercolour Set

What is CHROMASHINE watercolour?

CHROMASHINE is Holbein's highly opaque metallic iridescent watercolour. It changes colour with the viewing angle and stays vibrant regardless of the colour underneath, so it shows up even on black.

What is the difference between Chromashine and Chroma Pearl?

Chromashine is opaque and metallic, made to sit boldly on top of any colour. Chroma Pearl is transparent, so it lets the colour underneath show through while adding a shimmering, colour shifting glaze.

Can I use Chromashine on black paper?

Yes, and it is one of the best uses for it. Because it is opaque, the colour and metallic sheen stay strong on black and dark papers.

Can Chromashine be mixed with other watercolours?

Yes. You can use it straight as an accent or mix it into other colours to give them a metallic edge.

Where can I buy Holbein in Australia?
