New White Nights Watercolors More 2020 Pastels! Lightfast Tests 2019-2020 Colors + Pigment Changes.

More pastels added to White Nights watercolor (available as of Fall 2020 for USA). Lightfast tests with fugitive fading results for 32 colors added since 2019. They have also updated old fugitive pigments, ↓ SHOW MORE for art supply links and other info! ↓ White Nights is being offered to USA importers as of Fall 2020. It was initially released earlier this year to a limited amount of suppliers in Russia. I expect that they will become more commonly available worldwide in 2021. Jackson's (a large art supply store that ships worldwide from the UK) has had problems stocking the last release (including the popular "mint" color). They were not able to get those for about 3-4 months after they were announced, so I suspect it may be a few months for these newer colors as well. I was really happy to see White Nights starting to work on swapping out problems like PY1 for the more stable PY154, as well as PR4 for PR188. Any other info I have including swatch cards, LF tests and other videos about White Nights can be found on my website at https://www.kimcrick.com/pages/white-nights-watercolor-lightfast-test-art-supply-review-color-chart-st-petersburg WHERE TO BUY?
