Blue Lit and Lit. Handmade glow watercolors

Blue Lit and Lit, from the Party Time! collection of handmade watercolor paints.

This listing is for a half pan, full pan or bottle cap of Lit or Blue Lit. These colors are created from light emitting pigments, and they glow in the dark! Because they absorb and release light, they are not considered lightfast. If that is a concern for you, UV varnish or framing under UV glass would be ways you could protect your work from possible fading.

Blue Lit and Lit are light emitting pigments. Both are activated by heat and sunlight. Lit is also activated by artificial white light such as the light on your phone, while Blue Lit is only activated with artificial UV light. In white light, they appear almost transparent.

A small magnet can be added to the pan or cap, at no cost, to allow it to stick to any metal tin, if the artist prefers. Please be sure to select that option. Bottle caps are equivalent in amount of paint to a generous full pan.

Ruby Mountain Paint Company specializes in micro-batch, artisanal watercolors using pure pigments sourced from around the world. Our paints are always non-toxic, lovingly hand poured into whole pans, half pans, or bottle caps. We make high quality paint and art supplies for all types of artists. Each color is made from pure, artist-grade pigments and our own all natural binder formula, which includes gum arabic, local honey, and a time-honored, clove oil preservative. Each pigment is mulled by hand until it is the proper, luscious consistency. Each pan is poured once, slowly cured, then topped off so that the pans are as full as possible.
