Troubleshooting
Colors are bleeding into the white space
You are likely using too much water on the brush. Blot the brush on a paper towel before applying paint to the paper.
Paint is not sticking to the paper
Ensure you are using the provided watercolor paints and not an alternative paint type that lacks the necessary adhesion properties.
The paper feels warped or flimsy
This is often caused by excessive water application. Use a lighter touch and less water to maintain the structural integrity of the vellum.
