Under a UV light. All the colors between Sargent art red and apple barrel glossy black are lighting up, in their respective colors except for the dragonfly glaze being a blue-purple and the extreme green being more of a teal.
The entire row of mod podge also has a slight blue-purple glow to it.

Just the glow colors now. The glow pink is kind of orangey, the extreme green is still teal, and the Deco art glow is a bright green.

Part 1 of the acrylic and sealant lightfastness test, went with mostly red pigments since they tend to stick around a while. Just put up the paper in my window this morning, I'll keep y'all updated

Photo of an A3-sized gray paper with color swatches for Royal Talens Rembrandt Soft Pastels General Selection 30 half length and Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencils full set of 60 colors. Each color is depicted with its color code and the lightfastness rating according to the producers. The soft pastels by Rembrandt are all lightfast for at least 25 years while the Pitt pastel pencil set contains 14 colors with a lightfastness of only 5+ years, and that group includes all of the greens in the set.

Made swatches for my new #pastel supplies.

This shows how bad the lightfastness situation is with Pitt pastel pencils. There's zero actual greens with decent lightfastness in there. And yes, that is the FULL set.

Wtf, Faber-Castell. 🫠
