How to use

Open the palette lid to access the pans and use a water-dampened brush to activate each color. Adjust paint intensity by varying the amount of water on the brush; for lighter washes use more water, for richer color use less. Mix colors on the palette lid or on scrap paper to achieve desired tones before applying to the final surface. After use, dry brushes and close the case to protect the remaining paints.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test color mixes on a scrap sheet to understand pigment strength and drying behavior. Rinse brushes between color changes to avoid unintended color contamination. Store the palette in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve paint quality.
