Hi guys, here's an update on some tests I started a year ago, and I'm afraid it's not all good news lightfastness-wise. The swatches I used weren't all that perfect either, as it turned out, but there are still some definite results. I'm certainly going to have to replace some paints/colours, and all suggestions are welcome!
