KURETAKE DRAWING INK PASTE GOLD MICA Paste Type 30g GOLD

Excellent quality gold and goes a long way! Love the tube format!

I just received this yesterday, have played around with it a bit and it seems to have great potential for a variety of mixed-media uses. This is a beautiful, thick, rich gold that also mixes well with water, while maintaining its rich color and shine. I've already purchased a 2nd bottle as I like to have backups of products I anticipate using frequently. That said, this product is so rich, thick and concentrated, it will probably be quite some time before I crack open the 2nd bottle. I hope it doesn't dry out.

Absolutely hobsmackingly gorgeous! As a watercolour and mixed media artist I always add a touch of gold, including 22carat gold leaf just to add a point of interest. I will go away from the gold leaf and exclusively use this. It has body which holds brush strokes and a strength of gold which surpass (not to be confused Kuretaki Zig ink) and stands up beautifully. It is opaque but can be diluted to a semi transparent state. If you love bling i highly recommend.

A great product, thick, pasty and very shiny.

Left over paint dries too hard to rehydrate. I use gum Arabic in water to mix the dry paint back to liquid. This works well for me. If it doesn't work add more gum Arabic.
