The HIMI Metallic Semi-Moist Watercolour Set is an ideal choice for beginners, art students, and hobbyists looking for a portable, vibrant collection of 24 studio-quality metallic shades. Featuring a unique, snail-inspired round case that functions as both storage and a mixing palette, this set offers excellent convenience for on-the-go sketching or classroom use, though it is primarily designed for casual creative exploration rather than professional-grade archival fine art.

Yes, the metallic nature of these watercolors shows up beautifully on dark-colored cardstock or black watercolor paper.
The synthetic brush provided is suitable for general painting, but for very fine, miniature-level details, you may prefer a dedicated detail liner brush.
Use a soft, damp cloth or a paper towel. If pigments stain the plastic, a small amount of mild dish soap and water will remove the residue.
The set is designed as a self-contained unit. While individual pans are not sold separately, you can easily use tube watercolors to refill the wells once empty.
The HIMI set is safe for student use, though younger children should be supervised to ensure they do not ingest the materials.
Absolutely. These metallic paints mix well with standard non-metallic watercolors to add shimmering highlights to your work.
You are likely using too much water. Try using a damp rather than soaking wet brush to retain the opacity of the metallic pigment.
Ensure the surface of the pan is fully activated. Apply a few drops of water and let it sit for 30 seconds before attempting to pick up the color.
Rinse the brush gently with lukewarm water and mild soap, then reshape the bristles and let it dry naturally.
To begin using your HIMI set, simply open the snail-inspired circular case and mist the paint pans lightly with a spray bottle to soften the surface. Clean the lid-palette after every session with a damp cloth to prevent cross-contamination of pigments. When finished, allow the pans to dry completely before closing the lid to maintain the integrity of the paint. Store the set in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight to prevent the pans from cracking or the binders from degrading prematurely.
