Poster paints set PATIO Colorino — 12 colors, 20 ml each

Set of PATIO Colorino poster paints with 12 standard colours, each provided in a 20 ml jar. These water-based, opaque paints are formulated for school and hobby use, delivering dense coverage for posters, illustrations and craft projects. The pigments are easy to mix to obtain intermediate shades, dry relatively quickly to a matte finish and can be washed from most fabrics while still wet. The compact jar size and clear colour selection make this set suitable for classroom lessons, after-school activities and at-home creative work.

Advantages

The PATIO Colorino set offers a balanced palette of 12 colours in uniform 20 ml containers, simplifying storage and portioning. Because the paints are water-based and opaque, they provide even coverage on paper and cardboard without the strong odour of solvent-based products. Quick drying and mixability enable layered work and colour blending, while the washable formulation reduces the risk of permanent stains during student use.

Suitable for

• School lessons and classroom projects
• Poster and signage creation
• Children’s craft activities and hobby painting
• Illustrations, mock-ups and mixed-media work on paper or cardboard

When it may not be suitable

These poster paints are intended for paper, cardboard and similar porous surfaces; they are not formulated for long-term outdoor exposure or durable finishes on non-porous materials such as metal or plastic. For professional fine art that requires archival permanence, lightfastness specifications and pigment transparency control, artist-grade paints would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Number of colours: 12
• Volume per jar: 20 ml
• Base: water-based, opaque pigments (poster/gouache type)
• Finish: matte when dry
• Suitable surfaces: paper, cardboard and other porous substrates

How to use

Shake or stir each jar before use to ensure uniform consistency. Apply with a brush or sponge onto clean, dry paper or cardboard. Mix colours on a palette or directly on the working surface to achieve desired tones. Allow each layer to dry before overpainting to avoid lifting; thin with water for transparent washes or use undiluted for opaque coverage. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended surface — designed for paper, cardboard and similar materials, not for durable outdoor use
• Volume per jar — 20 ml containers are suitable for school projects but may be small for large murals or frequent professional use
• Washability limits — washable while wet; dried stains on fabrics may be harder to remove

Usage recommendations

For classroom efficiency, separate colours into labelled trays and provide palettes for mixing. Store jars tightly closed and in a cool place to prolong usability. When working with children, protect work surfaces and clothing until paint is fully dry.
