{"product_id":"himi-watercolour-12-colour-metallic-colour-copy","title":"HIMI Metallic Watercolour Set — Gold Edition — 12 Colours","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHIMI has built a devoted following among illustrators, sketchers, and social media artists by producing art materials that are genuinely fun to use, beautifully packaged, and more capable than their price point might suggest. The Metallic Watercolour Set is one of their most visually striking products — 12 shimmer and metallic colours in the Gold Edition palette, pressed into removable and reusable pans in a compact metal case, with a waterbrush included. Everything needed to get started is in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe metallic quality is the whole point of this set. These are not conventional watercolours with a slight sheen — they are specifically formulated metallic and shimmer pigments that catch and reflect light in a genuinely striking way, producing the kind of luminous, jewel-like results that conventional watercolour cannot achieve. The Gold Edition palette spans warm golds, rich ochres, bronzes, and complementary shimmer tones — a cohesive selection that works naturally together for botanical illustration, lettering, celestial and night-sky themes, decorative and illustrative work, and any application where a warm, luxurious metallic quality is the aim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe pigments are highly pigmented, water-soluble, and activate quickly with a damp brush — no soaking or waiting. They blend smoothly on the surface, creating unique palettes and transitions without the chalky or grainy quality that lesser metallic paints can produce. The paint is non-toxic, lightfast, and cleans up with water. Each pan is removable and reusable — pans can be taken out and rearranged, or individual colours replaced when they run out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe set is supplied in a slim, sturdy metal case with a hinged lid that doubles as a mixing palette. A waterbrush is included, making it fully self-contained for travel and location use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 metallic watercolour pans, 1 waterbrush, metal case with mixing palette lid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gum arabic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePan format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removable and reusable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these conventional watercolours?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — these are specifically formulated metallic and shimmer pigments that produce a luminous, reflective finish unlike conventional watercolour.
