Japanese shell gold in ceramic pans.

Shell gold, so named because it was historically made and stored in shallow shells such as mussel shells, consists of finely powdered genuine gold mixed with a variety of gums. This Japanese shell gold range is made using the highest quality handmade Japanese gold and precious metal powders bound with Nikawa gelatine glue.

Mix with a bit of water and apply in the same way as watercolour (a drop of oxgall can be added to break the surface tension) After drying, it can be burnished to a soft, beautiful lustre using an agate stone burnishing tool.

Finest quality gouache paints, available in 48 shades, all of which are fully inter-mixable with the HORADAM® WATERCOLOUR range. Made following a traditional gum arabic recipe, they are naturally opaque, without the addition of white. They provide a luminous, velvet-matte finish, drying to a slightly lighter shade than when wet. 

Schmincke recommends the following:

"The application possibilities of HORADAM® GOUACHE are extremely versatile. Although it can be heavily diluted, gouache is mainly intended to provide opaque application of colour. Opaque, in this case, means that it is not impasto, because impasto application tends to produce cracking, unless the percentage of binder is increased by adding gum arabic (50302). While watercolour painting work goes from light to dark (the white paper is the light), in gouache painting, any process can be used. While “back painting” of lights is limited in watercolour painting, when working in gouache (and other opaque colours), light values and lights can be added later using colours."
