Mixing Cotman Metallic Watercolour with regular watercolour
Step 1
Squeeze Pewter into a palette. It can be used diluted or straight from the tube.
Step 2
Dark colours like Pewter can be used individually to give a sparkling wash of colour.
Step 3
Light shades like Silver or Iridescent Blue can be laid over dry watercolour paint to give subtle highlights. This is Silver over Turquoise.
Step 4
Dilute Yellow Gold for a luminous wash or use neat for gold highlights.
Step 5
Cotman Metallic Watercolour can be mixed with regular Cotman Watercolour to add an iridescent shimmer. This is Yellow Gold and Emerald Green.
Step 6
Bronze and Red Copper give a warm glow. Lay them over dark tones to give a subtle shimmer or use them undiluted to add detail.
