ShinHan Metallic Powders are extremely versatile and can be applied to oil, water or acrylic based paintings. The beautiful powdered pigment can be used on paper, canvas, shrink plastic, polymer clay, leather, glass, wood and more. They are particularly useful for adding gilded effects to artwork.

Metallic Powder can be mixed with binders to form a paste that can be applied to oil, water or acrylic based paintings. It should be prepared just before application in order to achieve maximum luminosity. For oil colours, the best binder is refined safflower oil or linseed oil, except for whites and very pale blues, for which poppy seed oil is recommended.
