This wax medium is a shimmering transparent red-gold when painted overblack and displays a subtle off white with just a hint of redoverwhite. This color is hard to capture in a scan or photographs! As youmove and the paint catches the light differently, you see reds, yellows,and pinks reflecting in the light. This is an amazing interferenceeffect with a life of its own! Add to any color to give an enhancedmetallic/interference effect. Especially effective when added to reds,oranges, yellows, greens, and even blues!
