DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolour Definitions:

The differences are between the DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolours: Iridescent, Interference, Duochrome, and Pearlescents.

• Iridescent:Reflection – a particle of light hits the paint/pigment matrix and bounces back, much like a mirror.
• Interference:Refraction – a particle of light enters the paint/pigment matrix and scatters light.
• Duochrome:One pigment that bounces between two colours.
• Pearlescent:This adds opalescence—like an opal or pearl—to the colour; it can be mixed or glazed.

DANIELSMITH's Luminescent Watercoloursarelovely for painting the special visual effects found in nature.

Nature has optical surprises in the colours you see in birds' feathers, insects, fish, and seashells, and many flowers also have a pearly, dewy sheen. Consider the iridescence of a snail's trail or a silvery spider's web. Other things also have a sparkle or glow depending on the light: a silvery or golden moon, clouds aglow at sunset, rainbows, the sparkle of snow and ice, and the glint of water reflections. Don't forget the sheen of metals like pewter, copper, silver, and gold. There are also mythological subjects, such as fairies, dragons, mermaids, and other fantasy figures, who are often considered to have exceptional iridescence.

These excellent subjects beg for special paints, and the DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolours are perfect for painting subjects like these!
