The formulation delivers opaque, matte color with good covering power and fine consistency designed for illustration, design, school projects and traditional painting techniques. The 14 ml tube offers convenient portability and controlled dispensing for precise brushwork and small-scale applications.

Advantages

The paint provides strong pigmentation and reliable opacity, allowing clean layering and solid color fields without excessive thinning. Its consistency is formulated for smooth brush application and crisp edges, while remaining water-reworkable for blending and corrections. The compact tube reduces waste and protects unused paint from drying out, making it suitable for both studio and field use.

How to use

Work on properly primed paper or board suitable for gouache. Squeeze a small amount from the tube onto a palette and dilute with water to adjust opacity and flow as needed. Apply with synthetic or natural brushes depending on the desired texture; allow layers to dry before overpainting to preserve opacity. Rewet dried paint with water for blending or touch-ups. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, test dilution ratios on scrap paper before applying to a final piece. Store the tube tightly closed in a cool, dry place to maintain pigment quality and prevent drying.
