Lightfastness
Almost all colours are lightfast and carry the symbols +, ++ or +++. A number of very special colours carry the symbol o: the reflex colours and a few very bright colours (357 rose, 362 dark rose, 536 violet, 545 red violet, 548 blue violet). Because of the special combination of pigments these colours fade if exposed to daylight for a number of weeks. Works in which these colours are used are therefore best kept in folders.
+++ = highest degree of lightfastness
++ = good lightfastness
+ = low degree of lightfastness
° = not lightfast

Bleeding colours
The letter B following a number of colours (357 rose, 362 deep rose, 536 violet, 545 red violet, 548 blue violet) indicates that these colours have a tendency to "bleed" through the coat covering them. Opaque White Extra (106) seals bleeding colours and was specifically developed for that purpose. Apart from that, bleeding colours should not be varnished, as they bleed through the layer of varnish!

Metallic colours
The selection includes five splendid metallic colours: silver, light gold, dark gold, copper and bronze. Talens uses very modern pigments to make them. This means that oxidation, a green patina over the colours, is now a thing of the past. If you mix metallic colours with other colours from the range the metallic effect is lost! Of course the metallic colours can be mixed with each other.

GOUACHE IS STILL VERY POPULAR BOTH WITH INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS AND IN SCHOOLS. THE SPECIFIC QUALITIES OF GOUACHE SUCH AS THE USE WITH WATER, HIGH OPACITY AND QUICK DRYING TIME MAKE IT THE IDEAL COLOUR PAINT FOR MANY USES.


GOUACHE EXTRA FINE QUALITY

Talens Gouache Extra Fine is a high quality product, which meets the highest standards that can be set. It is no accident that this paint enjoys worldwide popularity.

Talens Gouache Extra Fine is easy to apply and work with and dries in a few minutes. It adheres to any grease-free and porous ground such as paper and board, but also to wood, plaster and earthenware. This makes the colour suitable for various purposes such as making gouaches (tempera paintings), wet-on-wet working, applying the paint without brush strokes, but also stencilling, stamping and printing. Thinning with water gives watercolour-like effects. Once dry, the work has an attractive velvety mat finish.
