Experiment
Explore materials and tools for testing visual effects: invisible ink, UV ink, fluorescent pigments, pearlescent finishes, seals, stamps, engraving tools, relief, imprint and layered surfaces.
This section is made for testing how a surface reacts to light, pressure, texture or superposition. Use these supplies to add hidden marks, bright colour shifts, stamped patterns, engraved lines, metallic or pearlescent details and textured effects to drawing, painting, printmaking, paper work and mixed media.
Create differently
Experimenting makes it possible to move beyond a familiar method and try another colour, a new surface or an effect not yet fully mastered. An ink can appear under UV light, a fluorescent pigment can alter a composition, a seal can create a unique imprint, or layering can completely transform a drawing.
The Experiment collection brings together invisible inks, fluorescent pigments, pearlescent paints, stamps, seals and engraving tools for drawing, painting, printmaking, paper-based work and experiments with texture, relief or light.
These materials can complement an existing practice or become the starting point for a new test. The result does not need to be known in advance: try it on a scrap of paper, observe the reaction, adjust the layers, then decide whether to keep the effect or begin again.
