How to use

Prepare a clean palette and dampen brushes according to the desired transparency.

Apply in thin layers for glazing and allow each layer to dry before adding subsequent layers. Clean brushes promptly after use with water. Store tubes capped and in a cool, dry place to preserve pigment quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results choose good quality watercolor paper (minimum 200 gsm for wet techniques). Test color mixtures on a scrap sheet before applying to a final piece. When transporting, keep tubes capped and upright if possible to prevent leakage.
