How to use

Activate pigments by moistening the selected pan with a clean brush and water, then apply to watercolor paper or suitable surface. For transparent washes, dilute with more water and work from light to dark; for more saturated color, use less water and layer strokes after previous layers have dried. Clean brushes between colors to avoid unintended mixing. Store the set closed and dry between sessions to preserve pan condition.

Usage recommendations

Use mid-weight to heavy-weight watercolor paper (200 gsm or above) for best handling of washes and layering. Test color mixing on a spare sheet to plan palettes before committing to a final piece. Rinse brushes thoroughly to maintain pigment clarity and avoid cross-contamination of pans.
