Several tubes of paint in various colors are arranged next to a metal palette containing watercolor paints. A small paintbrush rests beside the palette. The background includes a sketchbook with faint markings.

Daniel Smith Luminescent™ Watercolors

For a shimmery sparkle, try Daniel Smith’s Luminescent™ Watercolors. Interference Silver refracts light, and their iridescent colors, such as Iridescent Bronze, reflect light. Meanwhile, Duochrome Violet Pearl combines both properties, shifting between shimmering lavender and reflective silver. Referred to by Daniel Smith as “optical surprises,” these paints are perfect for shimmering details, such as for seashells and bird feathers. Try them on black or toned paper for a magical effect!
