Perfect for

This shade is ideal for pointed pen calligraphy, broad edge lettering, illustration, journaling, mixed media work, and decorative painting. Its deep black tone is especially useful for dramatic highlights and shadows, monochrome artwork, contemporary designs, and creative projects where a darker finish adds contrast and sophistication.

How to use

Add clean water to the surface of the pearlcolor and allow it to activate properly before use. Please use more water and dissolve "Black Mica" well until the colour becomes really creamy. Once softened, stir gently with a brush until the mixture is smooth and ready to apply. A creamier consistency will help you achieve the best coverage and the most even finish.
