Iridescent Medium

What is Iridescent Medium?

Iridescent medium will give a "pearlescence" or "iridescence" when mixed with paint. We use both Jo Sonja and Kaiser paints and find that it works well with both. It is like a paste that is pearl white in colour (you can use it on it's own as a pearl white if you want).

It is available in store now.

The chart below shows some of the results you can achieve. You will notice on the chart we have marked the name of the paint under the colour and then on the next strip of colour it is that same paint mixed with the iridescent medium. I have found that the darker the paint colour the more vivid the colour you will achieve.

Step 1 - Pour some paint and some iridescent medium onto your palette.

Step 2 - Mix them.

Step 3 - Once you have the colour you want, paint your project. I have painted a chipboard shape here.

It is hard to see the difference here (more to do with my photography and old camera!). I have mixed Jo Sonja's Napthol Crimson with the Iridescent Medium and it has achieved a pearly pinky colour - beautiful! I have painted a strip of the original red colour next to it so you can compare.
