FAQs

Are these paints non-toxic?

Yes, the formula is non-toxic and suitable for artists of all levels.

Can I refill the pans?

While the pans are designed to last, you can add your own watercolor tube paint to the pans once empty to replenish them.

Is the palette detachable?

The lid serves as the primary mixing palette and is attached to the case to ensure it remains a single, portable unit.

What type of brush is included?

The set includes a round synthetic brush suitable for general watercolor techniques.

How do I prevent the pans from drying out completely?

Keep the case closed when not in use. If they do dry out, simply mist them with a little water to reactivate.

Troubleshooting

Paints appear muddy on paper

Ensure you are using a clean brush when picking up new colors and wash your mixing palette frequently.

Colors are too faint

Use less water when loading your brush to pick up a higher concentration of pigment from the pan.

Brushes losing shape

Avoid leaving brushes standing in water for extended periods, as this damages the bristles and glue.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the HIMI set is straightforward: simply open the purple case and fold back the lid to expose the mixing surface. To prolong the life of your paints, always ensure they are dry before closing the case to prevent mold growth or pigment transfer between pans.

  • Compatibility: These paints perform best on dedicated watercolor paper (at least 300gsm).
  • Brush Care: Clean your brush thoroughly with clean water immediately after use. Shape the bristles to a point while wet and let it air dry horizontally.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the binder.
