Kuretake starry gold watercolors
@Nadia Bouhdili just reminded me that I meant to post about this here. Vaishali told us about Kuretake in class, and I found this set had some excellent gold watercolors (6 shades of gold!) at a very reasonable price at Amazon US. Great way to practice gold work before springing for shell gold: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H75AFHS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_-M0hFbR8VESJA
Heres how the gold looks on burnished paper:

@Nadia Madden Thanks! Bristle & Brush has some very nice paints. I’ve been wondering if a traditional gansai binder might work well for shell gold, too, to accentuate luster.
