FineTec Pearlescent Watercolors: Sets of six or 12 colors. 

These new German pearlescent watercolor sets were recommended by Carrie Imai and flew off our shelves at the Minnesota Calligraphy Connection! The FNGLDS set of six is particularly spectacular. I know of no other product that has some of these golds.

We couldn’t resist the 172 colors and all the talk we hear about these sparkling watercolors. Thanks to Roann Mathias who enthusiastically recommends them and gave us a few tips. Roann puts a few drops of water into the pan and lets it sit a minute or two before mixing with a brush. She then pours the mixed liquid into a dinky dip or mixing pan and uses it as she would gouache, feeding her pen with a brush or dipping. She also loads Twinkling H20s into Parallel Pens giving her incredible color possibilities! Leave the lids off your used pans so they can dry for later reconstitution. Roann loves how wonderfully these paints flow through a nib and the amazing range of colors. We offer six different sets of 24 colors each in 5 gm jars. And two new 12 color sets. Specify sets by number below photo. State set number(s) $39.95 each. 3 or more sets, $37.95 ea.

Now comes in a 4 oz flip-top bottle accompanied by a 2 oz spritzer bottle. You can mix colors in the spritzer bottle! Great background spray, especially on black paper. Word is out that this glimmering liquid is just right for the Parallel Pens.

6 or more $6.30 each.  

What a bargain! 24 rich opaque colors arranged on four stacking discs for compact, portable color! Clear cover has six sections to use as a palette.
