Glad you are back! So do you think that the gelattos will replace the tempura sticks in your art? Do you think that the color will wash out after applying medium for collage? It seems that the watercolor I use on tissue washes out when I apply medium.

Can’t wait to order some! I do acrylics and use tempura sticks for pops of color, but have a hard time controlling them. These look like they would work so much better. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Marabeth! Now I want to try this beautiful set😻. Faber- Castell is a great company with a long history. Not cheap though, but worth the money. Thank you it was fun to watch.

what brand are the ones you just called "wax crayons"?

[sarahmiller]

I love the gelatos on rice paper. Do you know if you get them wet again after they dry if they will re-activate? TFS

[debs]

How do they compare to tempura paint sticks? Love the colours you used..❤

I checked out on Amazon!l
Although they would be. An additional good product, the main drawback is costN
Amazon Canada has them at. $110!

I'm a big fan of FC Gelatos, and glad to hear you singing their praises...but they aren't technically LIGHTFAST in an "artist grade" way. They may be FADE RESISTANT because FC does use quality ingredients in all of their products. I think a manufacturer can say that this or that is lightfast and they probably are somewhat lightfast, but no one should rely on that 100%. I've learned since I've moved from crafting into fine art that a lightfast rating from "not much to very, " will often be displayed in how many stars it gets or a number rating and also disclosure of pigment codes, transparency and granulation if any. These are industry-wide ratings for artist and professional color products and you will see the certification & safety marks & warnings for cadmiums & cobalts marks and logos like ASTM for example. FC knows this as they make very high quality professional artists products and will include this information on the products or product packaging. But lightfastness is a tricky thing, even for the big name paint makers and it's also very expensive for them to certify & test lightfastness on all or most of their colors...that's the biggest reason they're so expensive. Thanks!

Unfortunately despite the claims, these are not lightfast. If you do a search, you will find lightfast test results.

Patty, not Tempura but Tempera. They are 2 very different things

[leslychamate]

I thought gelatos are not water soluble.
