What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the surface used is suitable for water-based media
• Consider the transparency level when planning your layering process
• Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the pigment

Usage recommendations: For the best results, use high-quality watercolour paper to allow the pigment to settle correctly and prevent buckling. Clean your brushes thoroughly with water immediately after use to maintain their shape and longevity.
