Happy Accidental Purchase

When I went to purchase dye for Chapter 2 I bought Radiant Concentrated Watercolours! It was a happy error. To see what colours they really are I created some paper swatches with undiluted colour. What vibrant wonderful colours! Unfortunately they are not light-fast so any display images would need to be carefully protected behind UV absorbing glass, plexiglass or UVA acetate. Great for work in a sketchbook or images kept in a portfolio. It would be an interesting experiment to see how they fade... The concentrated watercolours can be made fast for use with textiles.
