Hi guys! The results of my one-year lightfastness test are in for my acrylics, Boku-undo Japanesque watercolours and Ecoline, and once more it is not all good news. I’m also swatching the pretty Japanesque watercolours, and I do a little wet-in-wet demo with the vibrant and fun Ecoline in this video. I apologise upfront for my off-beat acrylics collection, and also for the occasional footage that is out of focus. Close-ups of swatches or paint tubes are not always that easy to film, but I certainly tried my best... Thanks so much in advance for watching! 😊
