Daniel Smith - Jean Haines' All That Shimmers Set

Jean Haines' All That Shimmers Set

Add ethereal shimmer to butterflies, florals, and racing scenes

Luminescent watercolors catch light differently than standard pigments. Where traditional colors absorb and reflect, these interference pigments shimmer and shift as viewing angles change, the kind of optical depth that transforms butterfly wings from flat shapes into dimensional forms. Jean Haines selected these six colors specifically for their ability to enhance everything from dewdrops on petals to the gleaming coat of a horse in motion.

Each 5ml tube contains genuine interference pigments that work alone, mixed into traditional colors, or glazed over dried passages. Iridescent Ruby adds warmth to sunset skies; Pearlescent White creates moonlit highlights; Iridescent Electric Blue brings luminosity to water reflections. The concentrated pigment load means a small amount covers effectively, making these compact tubes substantial for exploration and regular use. This set format remains exclusive, these specific 5ml tubes aren't sold individually, only in 15ml sizes outside this collection.

The included Mars Black Watercolor Ground sample demonstrates how dramatically these colors perform on dark surfaces, where their reflective qualities become most pronounced. Apply them to coated black paper and watch how Iridescent Topaz glows against darkness, or how Iridescent Aztec Gold creates metallic accents impossible with standard pigments. The shimmer isn't glitter or sparkle, it's sophisticated optical interference that adds dimension while maintaining watercolor's essential transparency.
