Product Information

Full details

The HIMI Twin Cup Gouache Set is an ideal choice for illustrators, design students, and hobbyists looking for a versatile, opaque medium that offers a professional matte finish. Featuring thirty-six 30g cups, the set utilizes a peach gum and high-quality pigment formula to provide a smooth, silky application that remains vibrant without dulling or whitening. While the innovative jelly cup design is exceptionally convenient for quick painting sessions, users should be aware that the high moisture content requires proper ventilation and air-drying to prevent mold during long-term storage.

FAQs

Are these paints toxic?

No, the HIMI Twin Cup Gouache Set is non-toxic and suitable for artists of all ages.

Can I mix these colours together?

Yes, these paints are highly blendable and can be mixed directly on a palette to create custom hues.

Does this paint come with brushes?

The set focuses on the paints; we recommend using your own set of synthetic watercolor brushes for best results.

How do I store the set to prevent molding?

Store in a cool, dry area and ensure the paint is not overly wet before closing the case for extended periods.

Can I use these on canvas?

Yes, they work well on paper, cardboard, and primed canvas, though they are best suited for paper-based media.

Is this set travel-friendly?

Yes, the compact case is designed specifically for portability and secure storage during travel.

Troubleshooting

The paint has dried out completely.

Add a few drops of water to the cup and let it sit for several minutes to allow the medium to re-absorb the moisture.

Brush strokes are visible in large areas of color.

Use a larger, softer brush and add a tiny amount of water to the paint to reach a consistency closer to heavy cream.

Paint is difficult to remove from clothes.

Rinse the fabric immediately with cold water and mild soap; avoid using hot water, which can set the pigments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the HIMI Twin Cup Gouache is simple: remove the protective seals from each cup and ensure your workspace is prepared with a water basin and paper towels. These paints are compatible with all standard watercolor and gouache brushes, though synthetic bristles are recommended for better control. To keep the set in prime condition, always ensure the lids are snapped shut securely after use to prevent the paint from drying out completely. If the surface of the paint feels slightly dry, lightly spray it with clean water before closing the case. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; if you live in a high-humidity environment, check the cups periodically to ensure no condensation or mold has formed, and allow the paint to air out if necessary.
