How to use

Activate a chosen pan by wetting the brush and applying it to the pigment until the desired intensity is reached. Mix paints on the palette surface or directly on paper to obtain intermediate hues and gradations. Rinse the brush between color changes and adjust water amount to control transparency and coverage. Close the case after use to protect the pans from dust and drying out; store in a dry, room-temperature place.

Usage recommendations

Use brushes with soft to medium bristles and a water container for controlled activation. For even washes, dilute the color with more water; for stronger strokes, use a drier brush. Clean the mixing area regularly to avoid muddying colors and allow pigments to dry fully before stacking other materials on top.
