This week, our art staff pick is:  ​​JACQUARD PEARL EX PIGMENTS!

What can you do with it, and how does it stand out?

These metallic and iridescent powder pigments are very versatile and can be used in a number of different ways. Add them to your paint colors, or to clear acrylic mediums. Use them to glitterify your block prints, stamps or watercolors... They are only $2.99 per jar and come in a large variety of colors, as well as interference colors.

​Any tips or techniques for using it? Likes/ dislikes?

​One of the ways that I use these pigments the most is by incorporating them into my encaustic wax paintings. Once the wax is mostly hardened but still warm, I buff on the pigments over the top of the wax to create a metallic finish. Another way I use it, is by buffing it onto my wax surface and then going over it with a shellac burn, which will create a lovely metallic cell-pour sort of finish.
