Troubleshooting
Paint soaking through the paper too quickly.
Ensure you are not using excessively fluid mediums. For very wet applications, consider placing the tear-off sheet on a rigid backing or using a more robust palette option.
Sheets are difficult to tear off cleanly.
Hold the palette pad firmly with one hand and tear the sheet downwards with a swift motion. Ensure the perforation is aligned correctly.
Colors appear different on the palette than on the canvas.
The anti-absorbent treatment aims for accurate mixing. Ensure good lighting conditions where you are mixing and painting. Allow paint to sit for a moment after mixing to achieve its true hue.
