How to use

To begin painting, moisten your brush with clean water and gently touch the surface of the paint pan to pick up the pigment. Apply the color to your watercolor paper using light, sweeping strokes. You can adjust the intensity of the color by adding more water to the brush or by layering additional coats once the previous layer has dried. Clean your brush thoroughly between color changes to maintain the purity of the pigments.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have appropriate watercolor paper to achieve the best results
• Consider the need for a separate set of brushes as they may not be included
• Verify the intended use matches the characteristics of student-grade watercolor paints

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use high-quality watercolor paper with a weight of at least 200 gsm to prevent buckling. Always allow layers to dry completely before applying new colors to maintain crisp edges and prevent unwanted muddying of the pigments.
