Night photography shows Green glow pigment
on the fairies on the left.  The fairy sitting on the 
railing to the right is glowing with lavender and blue
glow pigment.

Green is the brightest of the pigments, then blue
and last lavender.  I will combine the blue with the
lavender as I did above to achieve more glow.  

Phosphorescent Pigment Instructions For Use with Acrylic Products

Use any latex or acrylic paint for the image you wish to have glow.  Choose a light color palette to
achieve the best glow.  The pigment has a tint of either green, blue or violet and will affect the 
color it is put on with its hue.  It will also soften the colors with the appearance of a translucent
powder.  So experiment with your colors allowing for these adjustments to your original color 
palette.   Please allow the paint to dry completely before applying the glow pigment on top of
your image, otherwise, the pigment will remove the paint.

Applying the Phosphorescent Pigment

The pigment will dry very quickly when mixed with water based products so rather than mix them
together you will be using only enough for one stroke at a time.  You may choose any acrylic
glazing medium in the same finish as the surface you are working on.  If the image is on a flat or 
eggshell choose a matte medium so as not to call attention to where you are applying the
phosphorescent pigment.  The beauty of this pigment is that you can use a color palette which
does not appear phosphorescent and then magically your work glows in the dark.

For an image approximately 12" x 12" add two tablespoons of glazing medium into a small plastic
cup.  Use a plastic lid or paper plate and put a teaspoon of pigment on it.  Dip your brush into the
glaze and then into the pigment.  If you are working with a stencil,  mix the pigment and glaze 
together on your stencil brush using a circular motion.  Do not offload but use the same circular
motion to offload the pigment onto the stencil image.  Repeat until you have covered the entire
image.  You will need to see an accumulation of pigment on your image in order for it to glow.  The
stencil bridges will provide definition for your image.  You will need to build up the pigment with
several applications.

If you are not using a stencil, use a brush size that is appropriate for the image and follow the 
same step with dipping the brush first into the glaze and then into the pigment and use a circular 
motion to blend them together on your brush.  Use a regular brush stroke to apply the pigment to
your image.  since your entire image will glow you will probably want to add details.  A fairy with
wings may need a line to separate the wings from the body for instance.  The painted details on
top of the glow pigment will lessen or eliminate the glow giving the desired detail to the glow image.

The completed image can be sealed if necessary with any clear acrylic product without affecting
the glow.

Please follow the instructions on the jar when working with the pigment avoiding contact with the
skin or inhaling the powder.
