So open those tubes and prepare yourself for an exciting experience. You
may want to start with just a simple study sheet at first, always a good
idea, then dig through the treasure chest for just the right piece to
decorate.
*Iridescent colors are sometimes difficult to distinguish from one another
since they appear from the tube looking similar (milky-white in color
when wet). it's only after they are applied and begin to dry that you
really notice the wonderful iridescent shimmer of these colors. A simple
way of keeping track of which iridescent colors you are using is to place
each iridescent color next to a similarly pigmented color. For example,
place Iridescent Blue next to Pthalo Blue on your wet palette. This will
eliminate any confusion when you are painting and you can easily reference
which iridescent colors you are using.
