Advantages

The paints come in 12 ml tubes that allow precise dispensing and reduce waste compared with pans. A palette-friendly consistency supports smooth washes and gradual tinting when diluted with water. The selection of 18 colors provides a practical gamut for color mixing, enabling intermediate tones and subtle gradients. Tubed format preserves pigment concentration until use, and tubes are resealable for repeated sessions.

How to use

Squeeze a small amount of paint from the tube onto a mixing palette or ceramic dish. Dilute with clean water to achieve the desired transparency for washes or more concentrated pigment for details. Apply with suitable brushes, rinsing between colors to avoid contamination. Allow each layer to dry before glazing or adding subsequent layers to avoid unwanted lifting. After use, wipe the tube nozzle and replace the cap to maintain freshness.

Usage recommendations

For best results use quality watercolor paper (minimum 200 gsm for wet techniques) and a range of brushes (rounds for details, flats for washes). Test color mixtures on scrap paper to judge drying shifts and transparency. Store tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve pigment properties.
