Duochrome Arctic Fire shows its colors best over black paper or darker watercolor; it shifts from reflective green to violet. Duochrome Watercolors, part of the DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolors collection, alternate between two distinct colors depending on the reflective light. Why choose Luminescent Watercolors? Because Nature has optical surprises in the colors that you see in birds’ feathers, insects, fish, and seashells, many flowers also have a pearly, dewy sheen to them. Consider the iridescence of a snail's trail or a silvery spider's web. Other things that also have a sparkle, or glow depending on the light, a silvery or golden moon, clouds aglow at sunset, rainbows, the sparkle of snow and ice, and glint of water reflections. Don’t forget the sheen of metals like pewter, copper, silver, and gold. There are also mythic subjects that are often thought of as having a special iridescence to them such as fairies, dragons, mermaids and other fantasy figures. DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolors add that touch of special color found in nature that regular colors cannot match. They're made from mica pigment, thin transparent particles coated with highly reflective metal oxides. Luminescent Watercolors show best as glazes over darker colors and are excellent mixed with other colors adding a bit of their luminescent glow.

Why choose this product

Capture Nature's Iridescence

DANIEL SMITH Luminescent Watercolors, like Duochrome Arctic Fire, are engineered to replicate the subtle optical effects found in nature – the sheen of hummingbird feathers, the glow of sunset clouds, or the sparkle of ice. Unlike standard paints, these utilize mica pigments coated with metal oxides to create a unique interplay of color and light. This 15ml tube offers exceptional purity and permanence, ensuring your artwork retains its captivating luminescence.

Who Should Use It & Who Should Skip

This Duochrome Arctic Fire watercolor is ideal for artists who want to add special, shifting color effects to their work, particularly for subjects with natural iridescence or metallic sheens. It's excellent for fantasy art, wildlife illustration, or adding subtle highlights. Artists seeking opaque, single-color pigments or those who prefer non-granulating paints might find this less suitable. If you primarily paint in a very traditional, matte style without special effects, this might be an experimental addition rather than a core color.
