Having recently rediscovered these paints in amongst my old art supplies, it was time to re-acquaint myself with their properties. I used them for a couple of rough sketches in the
Hahnemuhle Grey Book. They are very intense and I found it difficult to get the subtle shades I am used to with my usual Winsor & Newton watercolours; they felt more like a cross between gouache and watercolour. I probably just need a bit more practice with them.

I will paint another colour chart and put it on my windowsill for a couple of months just to see how permanent the pigments are.
I have had these paints for quite some years, but I see they are still available on the internet and very inexpensively priced - in some adverts they are called "watercolour dyes" and there is a suggestion that they can be used on fabric!
