        I had promised in December of last year to toss these in a south-facing window to see how lightfast the colors were. The left-side was out in the sun and the right side was protected. They actually did much better than I expected. They were exposed for a little over 11 months.

            Pretty good, reds are notorious for fading.

                    The disappearing orange was rather extreme, but I’m always fascinated by color that seem to unmix themselves. You can see this a bit in the greens above. The yellows slightly faded. With other paints I’ve seen better examples of this where some really good looking violets completely unmixed to blue.

                        Thanks for the test !

                        How do like the texture of the paint ?
                        Does it flows well ?
