MOONGLOW IS FUGITIVE! Mix Your Own Lightfast Daniel Smith Watercolor Alternative to PR177 + Bird Art

Though rated as LFI, PR177 fades when diluted. Little to no fading in masstone acrylic / oil, but is LFIII to LFIV (major fading) in watercolor. How to make a look-a-like dupe of Daniel Smith's moonglow that swaps out this red pigment for something more lightfast. ↓ SHOW MORE for art supply links and other info! ↓ PAINT: Daniel Smith Viridian, French Ultramarine and Quin Coral. If you like a lot of granulation, Schmincke's French Ultramarine has even more texture!
