FAQs

Is this paint non-toxic?

Yes, the HIMI Jelly Cup Gouache formula is non-toxic and suitable for students and hobbyists.

Can I use this like watercolor?

Yes, you can add more water to thin the gouache, which allows it to behave similarly to a watercolor paint.

Does this set include a mixing palette?

The set is designed for convenience; the lid of the case often doubles as a basic mixing area.

How do I prevent the paint from drying out?

Always store the set in a cool place and ensure the main container is sealed tightly after every use.

Is the finish waterproof once dry?

No, this is a water-based medium and it will remain water-soluble even after it dries on the paper.

Can I use this on canvas?

It is best suited for paper. If you use it on canvas, you may need a specialized primer to ensure adhesion.

Troubleshooting

The paint feels hard or dry inside the cup.

Add a few drops of water to the cup, let it sit for a few minutes, and stir gently to reactivate the pigment.

The paint layer is cracking on the paper.

This often occurs if the paint is applied too thickly. Use a slightly more diluted consistency or apply in thinner, multiple layers.

Colors are mixing muddy on the page.

Ensure your brush is clean between colors and allow underlying layers to dry fully before applying new ones.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High opacity allows for easy correction of mistakes
  • Non-toxic formula safe for students and beginners
  • Easy to clean with simple soap and water
  • Excellent brush control for fine detail work
  • Generous 30ml cup capacity per color

Cons

  • Paint can dry out if the outer container is not sealed tightly
  • Requires proper water management to maintain consistency
  • Not intended for permanent or waterproof applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the set, simply peel back the protective seal on each jelly cup. It is recommended to use a palette to mix your colors rather than dipping directly into the jelly cups to prevent cross-contamination.

  • Compatibility: Works best on heavy-weight paper or mixed media pads specifically designed for gouache or water-based media.
  • Maintenance: Always ensure the primary lid of the carrying case is snapped shut completely to keep the environment humid and prevent the paint from hardening.
  • Cleaning: Clean your brushes immediately after use with lukewarm water and mild soap to maintain the integrity of the bristles.
