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.

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.
Yes, the HIMI gouache colors are designed to be blended easily on a palette to create custom shades and hues.
Heavyweight watercolor paper or multimedia art boards are recommended to handle the water content of the paint without warping.
Keep the lids snapped shut when not in use and store the case in a cool, shaded area.
The formula is non-toxic, making it safe for classroom environments, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children.
This set includes 18 unique, vibrant colors in 30ml individual cups.
Add a few drops of water to the cup, let it sit for a few minutes, and stir gently to reactivate the pigment.
Gouache is water-soluble; once the piece is completely dry, apply a professional-grade spray fixative to seal and protect the surface from moisture.
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.
