FAQs

Is the paper acid-free?

Yes, the high-quality 350gsm watercolour paper used in the Seawhite of Brighton pads is archival and acid-free.

Can I fit more supplies in the polyfolder?

Yes, the A3+ polyfolder is designed with extra space to accommodate additional sketches, pencils, or reference photos.

Are the paints lightfast?

These paints are formulated for student and hobbyist use; while vibrant, they are not rated for museum-grade archival lightfastness.

Can I replace the pad once I run out of paper?

Absolutely, the polyfolder is reusable, and you can replace the A4 watercolour pad with any standard A4 block once you have finished the original.

Are the brushes suitable for oils?

No, these golden synthetic brushes are specifically designed for watercolour and other water-based media. Using them with oils can damage the bristles.

Troubleshooting

Paper warping while painting

Ensure you are using controlled amounts of water and, if necessary, tape the edges of the sheet to a hard surface until dry.

Paint feels dry or caked in the tube

Ensure the caps are screwed on tightly after every use to prevent air from drying out the pigment.

Brushes losing shape

Avoid leaving brushes standing in water jars, as this can bend the bristles permanently. Always store them lying flat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 350gsm paper stands up well to water
  • Complete set requires no additional purchases for beginners
  • Durable A3+ polyfolder keeps everything organized
  • Handmade quality from a reputable brand
  • Rigid board backing on the pad is ideal for plein air painting

Cons

  • Limited to 15 sheets of paper per set
  • Polyfolder may feel bulky if you only need to carry a few items
  • Not intended for large-scale professional gallery work

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, remove your materials from the A3+ polyfolder and organize your palette with a small amount of paint from each tube. To maximize the life of your brushes, always rinse them thoroughly in clean water immediately after use and reshape the bristles with your fingers before leaving them to dry flat. The paper in the pad is designed for watercolour but also works well with light washes of gouache or ink. When packing up, ensure your palette is wiped clean and your brushes are completely dry to prevent mold or bristle decay within the storage folder.
