Liquid Mirror is a colour in our Professional Finest Quality, High Viscosity and Liquid acrylic lines.
It is an opaque pigment that can be described as metallic or platinum in colour. It’s not the kind of mirror you can see your reflection in, rather it has superior reflective qualities than all other pigments, including Iridescents. For example, you could mix Phthalo Blue with Liquid Mirror to produce a beautiful and unique blue metallic colour, or use it as is as an accent colour for bright and shiney highlights, or apply it as a ground under transparent colours to provide extra brillance for glazing techniques (like painting on etched aluminum).
Though it is a very special colour, it’s best to initially think of Liquid Mirror as you would other artist quality colours, and treat it as such. You can mix it with other colours, and add medium to it as a little goes a long way! Using the paint is the best way to explore its unique properties, and no doubt through experimentation, it will find a special place to fit into your own unique style and work.
Please note we do not recommend mixing this product with any matte pigments or any matting agents.
