Here are a few helpful tips when using iridescent medium and a few pros and cons.

⭐️TIPS

•Apply directly for a bright, shimmering effect, apply iridescent medium directly from the bottle on top of a dry wash.

•Mix with color
For a more subtle shimmer, mix iridescent medium with non-iridescent colors. 

Use on black paper
For maximum drama, use iridescent medium on black paper, YES  they do make black watercolor paper too! leaving enough black or other non-iridescent colors to maintain contrast.
