Yes, these gouache paints are highly mixable. You can blend them on a separate plastic or ceramic palette.
No, HIMI gouache is water-soluble. Even when dry, you can re-wet it, which is ideal for correcting mistakes or reusing leftovers.
Absolutely. Its ease of use and the fact that it is reactivatable makes it very forgiving for those learning color theory and painting techniques.
Watercolor paper, illustration board, or thick mixed-media paper work best to absorb the pigment properly.
No, the paint is pre-formulated with peach gum to provide the correct consistency right out of the cup.
With the airtight case properly sealed, the paints will remain moist for a significant duration, though environmental humidity can affect this.
Add a few drops of water to the cup and let it sit for a few minutes to rehydrate the pigment.
Check the silicone seal for any dried paint residue and wipe clean; ensure the latches are fully clicked into place.
You may be using too much water; reduce your water-to-paint ratio to achieve a creamier, more opaque consistency.
To set up your kit, remove the protective film from the jelly cups upon first opening. For best results, keep the silicone seal inside the lid clean and free of debris to ensure an airtight environment. The paints are compatible with all standard cold-press and hot-press watercolor papers; however, heavier-weight paper (300gsm or above) is recommended to prevent buckling. For cleaning, simply rinse your brushes with water and wipe the edges of the plastic cups with a damp cloth if paint accumulates on the rims. Always ensure the case is stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the binders from degrading.
