What type of paint is included?

What should I do if the paint dries on my brush?
Clean your brush immediately with water after use or when switching colors. If the paint dries, try soaking the brush in warm, soapy water and gently working the bristles to restore them.
Troubleshooting
Paint seems too thick.
Add a tiny drop of water to the paint pot and mix thoroughly. Avoid adding too much water, which can make the paint too thin.
Mixed up colors or painted in the wrong section.
If the paint is still wet, try to carefully wipe it away with a damp cloth. If dry, you may need to paint over it once the underlying color is fully dry.
Canvas is wrinkled or creased.
Gently flatten the canvas by placing it under a heavy book or in a flat, clean area for a period. Avoid ironing, as heat can damage the print and paint.
Ran out of a specific paint color.
This is rare with properly applied paint. For minor touch-ups, you may try to find a close match in acrylic paints, but exact color matching may be difficult.
