If you want a more traditional handmade watercolor route, artist pigment powders (like burnt umber, ultramarine blue, lamp black) are ideal. They’re designed to be mixed with binder, so you can make real, classic watercolor-style paint rather than just experimenting with dry drawing materials. I mention these separately from mica metallics, which are more of a shimmer effect.
Pros
- +Best choice for traditional handmade watercolor paint
- +Designed to mix cleanly with watercolor binder
Cons
- -Requires careful handling and a bit more process than shaving a pencil
