An ultra-bright synthetic! Like all our fluorescents, this fun glowy blue is opaque and super smooth. Fluorescents absorb invisible UV light energy and reemit it at a higher visibl e wavelength. This enhances the appearance of the pigment, delivering those eye-catching, radiant colors we love! Fluorescents are also fantastic for mixing a bit of brightness into core colors. Let the party begin! Important Notes on Fluorescents!: The amazing neon qualities of fluorescents are difficult to capture in a scan or photograph. So, the color swatch shown is a bit less glowy and bright than the color you'll receive! Fluorescents are also not lightfast, and painted fluorescents will fade by 50% if left in direct sunlight for 30 days. Fading can be reduced by coating finished pieces in a UV protective varnish and/or keeping them out of direct sunlight. All of our watercolors are handmade in our shop using the highest quality earth and synthetic pigments, plus natural watercolor binding medium made from gum arabic (sap from acacia trees), honey, glycerine, distilled water, and a dash of clove oil for freshness!
