Derwent - Metallic Paint Pan Palette

Metallic Paint Pan Palette

Add luminous metallic shimmer to watercolors on any paper shade

Light-catching pigments transform ordinary watercolor passages into surfaces that shift and shimmer as the viewer moves. This metallic palette delivers that dimensional quality across twelve half pans, from pale silver through rich graphite tones that work equally well on white paper or dark surfaces. The formulation handles like traditional watercolor, build subtle, almost pastel washes for soft highlights, or layer concentrated pigment for dynamic metallic pops that catch the light.

These metallics mix cleanly with each other and integrate seamlessly with standard watercolor palettes, extending your color range without compromising the properties you rely on. The compact case includes a mixing tray and mini waterbrush, making this genuinely portable for plein air work or travel sketching. Half pans provide enough paint for extensive projects while maintaining the set's slim profile.

Use these to add reflective accents to botanical illustrations, create atmospheric effects in landscapes, or introduce dimensional highlights to portrait work. The metallics layer effectively over dried washes and maintain their shimmer without overwhelming underlying colors. Whether you're adding subtle glints to water reflections or building bold metallic passages, the pigments deliver consistent light-catching properties that respond to your technique.
