Can I frame the painting after I finish?
Yes, once the paint is completely dry, the 9x12" canvas can be framed.
Is this kit suitable for children?
While it's a creative activity, the intricate details and small paint pots make it more suitable for older teens and adults. Adult supervision is recommended for younger users.
How long does it take to complete the painting?
The time required varies greatly depending on individual skill, patience, and the time dedicated per session. It is designed to offer hours of relaxing engagement.
What should I do if I run out of a specific paint color?
Galison provides enough paint for the design. If a color is accidentally used excessively, you might need to supplement with a similar acrylic color from another source, or carefully ration the remaining amount.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or drying out
Add a small amount of water (a drop or two) to the paint pot and mix thoroughly. If the paint is completely dry, it may not be salvageable.
Brush bristles are stiff
Rinse the brush thoroughly with warm water. If the paint has dried on the bristles, try soaking them in a small amount of brush cleaner or mild soap and water.
Difficulty distinguishing between similar paint colors
Refer to the packaging or original design for color guidance. Sometimes, a magnifying glass can help identify subtle differences in the printed numbers or lines.
Canvas is creased or wrinkled
Gently try to flatten the canvas on a hard surface. Avoid ironing, as heat can damage the paint. Once painted, the weight of the paint may help flatten it.
