Watercolor is the style most likely to fade if the artist doesn't understand pigment. Lulu's three-year work still has its washes because she anchors the piece with an under-line most watercolor artists refuse to use.

A Verified Client
She told me most watercolor pieces don't age well. Then she showed me hers and I understood — she puts a light black outline under everything so it survives. Three years in and the pinks and blues are still bright.
