How to use

Prepare a clean palette and use a damp brush to activate the paint. Apply with varying brush moisture to achieve washes or more concentrated strokes for details. Build color intensity through successive transparent layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next to avoid unwanted lifting or bleeding. Rinse brushes regularly and blot excess water to maintain color control.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use good-quality watercolor paper (recommended weight 200 gsm or higher) and a range of brush sizes for washes and details. Store the set in a dry place and reseal pans or caps after use to preserve paint consistency. Test color mixtures on scrap paper before applying to a final work.
