Jackman's have introduced a new range of Lightfast Pigment Powder For Watercolourists
Tried Brusho or craft powders before? Jackman’s Crystalline Watercolours take the idea further - made with pure, lightfast pigments, not dyes. You’ll get the same exciting textures and washes, but with professional, archival quality that lasts. Try sprinkling, spraying or mixing them like traditional paints to achieve textures and effects that tubes and pans can’t match! Now available on Bromley's website in 15 beautiful colours.
Click here to see the range and what you can do with them
Here are a few examples of how to use them
If you see, or know of any new items that may be of interest to members, please let me know at: web-site@badas.uk
