How to use

Activate the pans with a wet brush to lift pigment and apply to paper in thin washes or more concentrated strokes. Mix colors directly on the palette or on a mixing surface to create intermediate tones. Allow washes to dry between layers when building up color intensity or glazing effects. Rinse brushes between color changes to maintain color clarity.

Usage recommendations

Use medium- to heavyweight watercolor paper for best results and preserve pigments by closing the palette when not in use. For brighter washes, use more diluted mixtures; for stronger color laydown, use less water and multiple glazed layers.
