How to use

Activate the pans with a small amount of clean water using a brush, then mix on a palette or directly on paper to achieve the desired transparency and tone. For broad washes, dilute the pigment with more water; for stronger color pay-off and glazing, use less water or apply multiple transparent layers. Clean brushes between color changes to avoid unwanted mixing and to preserve pigment clarity.

Usage recommendations

Store the set in a dry place and close the case after use to protect the pans from dust. Use heavyweight, cold-pressed or hot-pressed watercolor paper depending on the level of texture and absorption required. When working outdoors, bring a small spray bottle to re-wet pans and a folding palette to mix larger quantities of color.
