Product Information

Full details

The HIMI Jelly Cup Gouache Set is designed for artists of all skill levels, from hobbyists to professionals, who need a versatile and highly pigmented medium that balances the opacity of acrylics with the re-workability of watercolors. Its standout benefit is the unique jelly cup design that preserves paint freshness and allows for immediate use, though users should note that because the paint is water-based, it remains sensitive to moisture even after drying on the canvas.

FAQs

Is this paint waterproof once dry?

No, this is a water-based medium and will re-dissolve if it comes into contact with water, even after the initial layer has dried.

Can I mix these colors together?

Yes, the HIMI gouache colors are designed to be blended easily on a palette to create custom shades and hues.

What is the best type of surface to use with this set?

Heavyweight watercolor paper or multimedia art boards are recommended to handle the water content of the paint without warping.

How do I prevent the paints from drying out?

Keep the lids snapped shut when not in use and store the case in a cool, shaded area.

Are these paints safe for children?

The formula is non-toxic, making it safe for classroom environments, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children.

How many colors are included in the set?

This set includes 18 unique, vibrant colors in 30ml individual cups.

Troubleshooting

Paint surface in the cup has become dry or cracked

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

Colors are smudging on finished artwork

Gouache is water-soluble; once the piece is completely dry, apply a professional-grade spray fixative to seal and protect the surface from moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent color payoff and high coverage
  • Easy to re-activate with water if paint dries
  • Convenient, mess-free jelly cup design
  • Portable and durable storage case included
  • Suitable for artists of all skill levels

Cons

  • Not waterproof once dry due to water-based formula
  • Requires careful storage to prevent cups from popping open
  • May require sealing if the finished artwork is handled frequently

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, simply peel back the protective foil seal from the jelly cups. For long-term use, ensure the storage case lid is pressed firmly shut after every session to prevent the paint from dehydrating prematurely. These paints work best on cold-press watercolor paper or heavy-duty cardstock capable of absorbing water-based media. To clean your brushes, simply rinse them in room-temperature water until all pigment is removed. If you find the paint in the cups has become too firm, stir in a very small amount of water until the desired creamy consistency is restored. Store the case in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the pigments.
