FAQs

What kind of paper should I use?

Watercolour paper or mixed media paper are recommended to get the best results.

Can I use these paints on fabric?

While the paints may work on fabric, they are not specifically designed for it and may not adhere or be washable.

How do I clean my brushes?

Rinse your brushes thoroughly with water after each use. Make sure all the paint is removed before storing them.

How should I store the painting set?

Store the painting set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What if the colours mix and get muddy?

Clean your brush thoroughly between colours. Avoid overmixing the colours on your palette. Consider using a palette with separate wells for each colour.

Can I use these paints with other mediums?

Yes, they can be used with other watercolour and mixed media paints.

Troubleshooting

Colours appear dull or not metallic enough.

Ensure you are using the correct type of paper (watercolour or mixed media) and apply the paint in thin layers to build up the metallic effect. Use more water for a lighter finish and less for a stronger metallic effect.

Paint is not adhering to the paper.

Make sure the paper surface is clean and free of oils or dirt. Experiment with different brush types or add a small amount of gum arabic to the paint to increase adhesion.
