I got my set of Illustration colours about 3-4 years ago. I made colour swatches and played with them on and off. I never could see the love others have for them.
So cleaning up the paint rack, I decided to try it again. It's been years and I have improved with my airbrush handling skills.
I get out the violet and the W500. Reducer first in the cup and then the paint. Mix it all up and it just gunks up. Clean it out and try with green. It does the same. I then did the test outside of the airbrush. First again the violet and then the green. Same results. I thought the paint went bad because it's a bit thicker than I remember it to be. I decided to try it with W100. This time I used a blue. And it was fine with the W100 but when I tried the W500, it gunked up again.
So the W500 is breaking the paints. I'm not gonna ask for a replacement as it has been years and it's only a 60ml bottle. Will get another and see what it does. Even in my test sprays I prefered the W100. Don't know why they don't still make it and give you an option of what to use.
So moral of the story is, it is not always the paint to blame.
Blue straight from the bottle.
