FAQs

Is this set suitable for professional artists?

While the pigments are studio-quality and vibrant, they are primarily designed for hobbyists, students, and casual sketching rather than professional, gallery-grade archival work.

Can I replace the individual pans?

The set is designed as a fixed unit. Individual pans are not intended to be removed or replaced separately.

Are these paints safe for children?

Yes, the HIMI watercolour set is formulated with non-toxic ingredients, making it safe for use in school and home art environments.

How do I clean the mixing palette?

The mixing area can be easily wiped clean with a damp paper towel or cloth. For stubborn pigments, a small amount of mild soap and water works effectively.

Does it come with a case?

Yes, the set includes a unique, round 'snail' style case that acts as both a storage container and a mixing palette.

Troubleshooting

Colors appear muddy on the page

Clean your brush thoroughly between colors and ensure your mixing palette surface is wiped clean of previous residues.

Pigments take a long time to activate

Use a spray bottle to lightly mist the pans with water a minute before you begin painting.

Brush bristles are fraying

Avoid storing the brush while wet and ensure you reshape the bristles before letting it dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extensive range of 38 colors in a small form factor
  • Lid doubles as a functional mixing palette
  • Highly portable and travel-friendly design
  • Non-toxic materials safe for various age groups
  • Easy to clean and maintain

Cons

  • Not intended for professional lightfastness standards
  • Small pan size makes it harder to use with very large brushes
  • Circular palette layout may be difficult to organize for those used to standard rectangular tins

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the set is minimal: simply open the circular case, remove the brush, and add a small drop of water to your chosen pans to prepare them. For compatibility, this set works best on cold-press watercolor paper at least 140lb/300gsm, which absorbs the pigment without excessive warping.

To care for your set, always allow the pans to air dry completely before closing the lid to prevent mold or pigment sticking. Wipe down the mixing palette area with a damp cloth after each session to keep the colors pure for your next project. Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the pigments.
