The light fastness of Ivy has not been tested. But Sap green from Utrecht watercolours was rated as Excellent, while other sources claim it to be very fugitive. Please conduct your own research before using this on commission pieces, the site will be updated with our own analysis once we are able to.

These watercolors are carefully crafted with professional quality pigments and a handmade binder, made out of gum arabic, and honey. We do not use clove oil in our paints.

Note: always swatch your colors before using them on a finished piece, the paper you are using might affect the color or the way the pigment behaves.
