Lightfastness indicates that the color will resist fading when exposed to light over time, ensuring the longevity and vibrancy of your artwork.
How should I store the watercolour tube?
Store the tube in a cool, dry place, ensuring the cap is tightly sealed after use to prevent the paint from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears dry in the tube
Squeeze a small amount out onto a palette; if it rehydrates with water, it is fine. If not, the pigment may be compromised.
Color is not as vibrant as expected
Ensure you are using enough pigment and activating it thoroughly with water. For deeper tones, apply multiple layers or use a higher pigment-to-water ratio.
Difficult to blend smoothly
Try using a larger brush, more water, or a slightly damp surface. Ensure your paper is adequately wet for the desired blending effect.
