Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these art supplies be used by children?

While the set is high-quality and suitable for all skill levels, it contains small parts and professional pigments, so adult supervision is recommended for younger children.

Are the materials lightfast?

Yes, Caran d'Ache products are renowned for their high lightfastness, though exposure to direct, intense sunlight should be avoided for all fine art pieces.

How do I access the online creative classes?

Instructions for registering and accessing the 3 exclusive online classes are typically included inside the packaging or provided via the product documentation.

Are the Fibralo pens refillable?

The Fibralo brush pens are not designed to be refilled; however, they have a long shelf life and contain a generous amount of ink.

Can I mix the gouache with the pastels?

Yes, these products are designed for mixed-media use; you can layer gouache over dried pastel or vice versa for unique textural effects.

Troubleshooting

Water brush not releasing water

Ensure the barrel is securely screwed on and gently squeeze the middle section to prime the bristles.

Colors appearing muted on paper

Verify that you are using high-quality watercolor or mixed-media paper; standard office paper absorbs too much moisture and dulls pigments.

Pencil lead breaking during sharpening

Use a high-quality, sharp manual metal sharpener and avoid over-sharpening the soft watercolor leads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the set, ensure your workspace is clean and you have a small container of fresh water nearby for the water brush and painting tablets. When using the Neocolor II pastels, use the spray bottle to mist the surface lightly to encourage blending without oversaturating the paper. Compatibility is broad, though you should avoid using these water-soluble products on non-porous surfaces like plastic or standard printing paper. To maintain the set, always allow the water brush and palette to air dry completely before closing the storage box to prevent mildew or ink bleed. Store the set in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to preserve the pigment intensity of the pencils and pastels.
