FAQs

Are these paints suitable for beginners?

Yes, while professional-grade, the easy-to-use pan format and blendable consistency make them suitable for beginners exploring watercolours.

How long do the paints last?

With proper care, the watercolour pans are very long-lasting. The exact duration depends on the frequency and intensity of use.

Can I purchase individual pans if I run out of a specific color?

The Rosa Gallery brand often offers individual pans for purchase, though availability may vary by retailer.

What is the lightfastness rating of these colours?

Rosa Gallery paints are known for their professional-grade lightfastness, designed to resist fading over extended periods.

Is the metal tin refillable?

The metal tin is designed to hold the existing pans securely. While you can replace empty pans with new ones, the tin itself is not designed to be refilled with liquid paint.

What is the difference between full pans and half pans?

Full pans contain twice the amount of paint compared to half pans, offering more volume for extensive use.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears dull or muddy

Ensure you are using enough water and that your brush is clean. Avoid overworking the paint, especially when mixing colors.

Paint is not activating easily

Use a slightly wetter brush. Allow the paint pan to sit with a drop of water for a minute if it has dried out significantly.

Colors look different on paper than from the pan

This can be due to paper absorbency and the amount of water used. Test colors on a scrap piece of the same paper before applying to your artwork.

Tin is difficult to open or close

Ensure there is no dried paint or debris around the edges of the tin. A gentle wiggle should free it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Open the compact metal tin to reveal the 14 watercolour pans.
  2. You will need a water source (cup or bottle), a brush suitable for watercolours, and suitable paper (watercolour paper is recommended).
  3. Activate the paint by dabbing a wet brush into the desired pan.

Compatibility:

  • Mediums: Compatible with most standard watercolour mediums, including masking fluid, lifting preparation, and watercolour grounds.
  • Brushes: Works well with natural or synthetic watercolour brushes of various sizes.

Care:

  • Allow paints to dry completely before closing the tin to prevent mold growth.

  • Wipe the inside of the tin with a dry or slightly damp cloth if any paint residue accumulates.
  • Store the tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the paint quality.
