FAQs

Can I mix these colors together?

Yes, these gouache paints are highly mixable, allowing you to create custom shades on a palette before applying them to your artwork.

Are these paints waterproof after they dry?

No, they are water-based and will remain water-soluble even after drying. You may want to use a fixative spray if you want to seal your finished work.

What kind of paper is best for this gouache?

Watercolor paper or heavy-weight multimedia paper is recommended to prevent buckling when using water.

Are the brushes included in the set durable?

They are suitable for standard use, though you may prefer using specialized professional-grade brushes for fine detailing.

How do I store the set for long periods?

Keep the lids closed tightly and store the case flat in a cool, dry environment.

Is the paint safe to use on canvas?

Yes, it works well on primed canvas, though it is best suited for paper surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint has become completely hard in the cup

Add 5-10 drops of water to the cup, cover it, and let it rest overnight to allow the moisture to re-absorb into the pigment.

Paint is bleeding or smudging on finished paper

Ensure you are using at least 140lb (300gsm) watercolor paper, which is better suited to handle the water content of the gouache.

Color appears streaky or thin

Use less water when loading your brush to keep the pigment concentration higher.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High pigment density for vivid, opaque coverage
  • Individual jelly cups prevent premature drying
  • Easy to clean up with soap and water
  • Matte finish avoids distracting light reflections
  • Reactability allows for long-term use of the same set

Cons

  • Requires careful storage away from high humidity
  • Finished pieces are sensitive to water damage
  • The case size can be bulky for travel in small bags

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the set, peel back the foil seal on each jelly cup. It is recommended to use the provided brushes or high-quality synthetic round brushes for best results. When applying the paint, use a mixing palette to thin the pigment to your desired consistency; applying it directly from the cup is ideal for heavy impasto effects, while diluting with water allows for watercolor-like washes.

After each session, ensure the plastic lid is snapped firmly shut to maintain the humidity inside the case. If you notice dust or debris on the paint surface, carefully wipe it away with a clean, dry cloth. Store the case in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the pigments from fading or the paint from hardening excessively.
