Golden Special Iridescent Acrylics - Coarse Alumina, 4 oz

Golden Interference and Iridescent Heavy Body Acrylics add an exciting range of options to your creative repertoire. Used alone or mixed with other acrylic paints, they enable you to achieve color effects that are truly spectacular.

Mica Flakes, Coarse Alumina, and Micaceous Iron Oxide — These special iridescent colors add a sparkly touch or a distinct texture. They’re created by mixing assorted mica particles with gel medium. The Micaceous Iron Oxide, with its rich simmer color and gritty surface, makes a glorious ground for pastels. Palette knife application is recommended.

__Interference Colors__ — These colors ''flip'' between a bright opalescent and its complement, depending on the angle of the viewer. Relatively transparent, they allow artists the ability to glaze with unique effects. Add gels for impasto texture or thin with mediums. Try adding a very small amount of black to produce deeper, richer, opalescent effects.

__Iridescent Colors__ — These colors synthetically reproduce natural phenomena, such as the shimmering quality of fish scales, or the pearlescent effects of certain metals and minerals. When mixed with traditional colors and mediums, they impart a luminous quality. ''Coarse'' colors employ a larger reflective particle size in comparison to ''Fine'' colors.
