Painting kit Ravensburger CreArt Colorful Milan – art set for painting (model 23688)

Ravensburger 23688 is a children's casting and painting kit designed for ages 12 and up. The set includes a pre-cut painting board (24×30 cm), a model for casting/decoration, 20 pots of water-based acrylic paint, a double-ended brush, two mixing palettes and clear assembly guidance, all supplied in a closed box. The kit combines casting elements with painting materials so users can create a finished decorative piece suitable for display or gifting while practising basic acrylic techniques and colour mixing.

Advantages

The kit provides a complete, ready-to-use selection of materials so users do not need to source separate paints, brushes or palettes. Colour guidance and pre-prepared motif elements simplify the process and make it easier to focus on painting technique and shading. The included water-based acrylics dry quickly and are suitable for layering, while the compact contents support single-session completion or multi-session work. Packaged in a closed box, the set is convenient to store and transport.

How to use

Unpack the kit onto a protected work surface and familiarise yourself with the casting model and the painting board. Prepare a container of clean water and a cloth for brush cleaning. If the kit requires assembly of the casting element, follow the supplied guidance and allow any cast parts to dry or set before painting. Start painting larger background areas first using the broader end of the double brush, apply paint in thin layers and let layers dry between applications. Use the finer end of the brush for details and shading. Clean brushes between colour changes and reseal paint pots after use.

Usage recommendations

Work on a flat, protected surface in a well-ventilated area. Allow adequate drying time between acrylic layers to avoid smudging and achieve cleaner colour transitions. Store opened paint pots tightly closed at room temperature and rinse brushes promptly after use to prolong tool life.
