Troubleshooting

Paint seems too thick or stiff.

Thin the paint with water or an acrylic medium to achieve the desired consistency.

Color appears dull after drying.

Ensure an even application. A final varnish can often restore the color's vibrancy.

Paint is drying too quickly on the palette.

Use a stay-wet palette or add a retarder medium to extend the open time.

Difficulty cleaning brushes.

Clean brushes immediately after use with soap and water. For dried paint, use a dedicated brush cleaner.

Care:

  1. Storage: Store tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
