Product Information
Full details
The Janod Watercolour Paints Set is an ideal creative tool for budding young artists looking to explore color mixing and painting techniques. It provides a versatile range of 12 vibrant pans that allow for both subtle light washes and bold, saturated colors, helping children develop essential motor coordination and artistic expression. While it is perfect for portability and ease of use, parents should note that because the paints are designed to be washable, they may not offer the same permanence as professional-grade artist watercolors.

FAQs
Is the paint safe for children?
Yes, the paints are designed for children and are washable, though adult supervision is recommended for younger artists.
Can I use the mixing tray for other paints?
The lid is designed specifically for this set, but it can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth if you wish to use it for other water-based media.
What is the size of each paint tablet?
Each individual paint tablet is 30 mm in diameter.
Does this set include paper?
No, the set includes the paint palette and a brush, but you will need to provide your own paper.
Are the paints non-toxic?
Janod products are designed with safety in mind; however, please check the specific packaging label for current certification details.
Troubleshooting
Paints appear too light on paper
Use less water when loading the brush to ensure a higher concentration of pigment.
Colors are muddy when mixed
Ensure the brush is thoroughly rinsed between color changes and clean the mixing lid surface regularly.
Paint tablet has cracked
Cracking is normal for watercolour tablets as they dry; simply add water to re-activate the pigment for use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin painting, simply add a small amount of clean water to the pan using the included brush to activate the pigment. Always rinse the brush thoroughly in a separate container of water before switching colors to maintain the purity of the paint pans.
After use, wipe down the mixing tray with a damp cloth and allow the paint pans to air-dry completely before closing the lid to prevent mold or sticking. Store the set in a cool, dry place to ensure the longevity of the pigments. Because the paint is washable, avoid leaving the set in humid environments where moisture might compromise the integrity of the dry tablets.
