The HIMI Jelly Cup Gouache Set is an ideal choice for both art students and experienced painters seeking a professional-grade, portable medium with a rich, velvety matte finish. Its standout feature is the innovative 30ml jelly cup design, which preserves paint moisture and enables instant use for artists on the go; however, users should be aware that while the paint is highly versatile, it requires careful water management to achieve the desired opacity and consistency across different project types.

Yes, these gouache paints are highly mixable. Use a separate plastic or ceramic palette to experiment with color theory.
Gouache is water-soluble. Even when dry, it can be reactivated with water, so you should use a fixative spray if you want to protect the finished work from moisture.
With the lids properly sealed, the paint can stay moist for several weeks to months, depending on your local humidity.
Synthetic or soft natural hair brushes work best as they hold enough pigment while providing the control needed for both fine details and wide strokes.
Yes, the set is non-toxic, but adult supervision is recommended for younger children to prevent ingestion or staining of surfaces.
Add a few drops of water to the jelly cup and let it sit for a few minutes to rehydrate the pigment.
You are likely using too much water. Reduce the water-to-paint ratio on your brush to maintain the opaque quality.
Ensure the edges of the cups are free of dried paint residue, as even a small amount can prevent a tight seal.
To begin using the set, peel back the protective foil seal on each cup. It is recommended to use a mixing palette alongside the case, as dipping brushes directly into the jelly cups repeatedly can contaminate the colors. The paint works best on heavyweight cold-press or hot-press watercolor paper, which can withstand the moisture without buckling. For care, always ensure the lids are pressed firmly onto the cups after each use to prevent excess drying. If storing the set for an extended period, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can alter the pigment stability over time. Always clean brushes immediately after use with soap and water to prevent staining.
