These paints are waterbased and contain mica, a naturally occurring mineral, which catches the light. This is mixed with Gum Arabic to create a lightfast super shimmery opaque colour that looks gorgeous from your first stroke! At The Modern Calligraphy Co, we use these paints constantly. You can never ruin them by adding too much water, it will simply evaporate leaving the shining block of colour behind.
