All of the classical and modern pigments used in LUKAS 1862 Aquarell Watercolours conform to the highest possible light fastness rating. None of the pigments fall below a 6 to 7 on the international, standardized 8-step Blue Wool scale; a quality designed to ensure the long-lasting permanence of your valuable artwork. Artworks created with Lukas 1862 Watercolours should not be varnished; simply mount the sheet and frame it behind glass, out of direct sunlight. This provides the best protection for your painting.

A blend of cruelty free wetting agents in Lukas Aquarell 1862 Watercolours provides them with a 'permanently moist' consistency. They can be easily re-wetted if dry or lifted with water. This eliminates the need to scrub your brushes into the wet pans and thereby damaging them. This range of products is vegan.
