Results One-Year Lightfastness Tests: Acrylics - Japanesque watercolours - Ecoline

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! 😊

Very interesting thank you for this. I really enjoyed watching you paint with the ecoline Very pretty and just for fun! I think I will do this with my grandkids!!👍👍😃🎨✍🤗👋💝🙏

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 😊 Quick reminder: if they're very young, paint clothes etc. will be needed with this project, because this stuff stains a lot! 😁 I hope you all have fun together!!

Glad you enjoyed the video! And if you've got Dutchies in your family, they know this stuff (Ecoline) for sure. 😄

Informative video…. I have never done any lightfast test myself… although I enjoy watching other people’s videos… would be nicer if you did voiceover….just a suggestion…😊

Extremely, over-the-top late reply, because I've been away from TH-cam for a while, but I've finally taken the plunge and did two videos with a voice-over, lol: a swatching and a result video! Feel free to check them out, but warning, they're very, very long.😊
