Troubleshooting

Paints are dry or cracked.

Add a few drops of water to the pans and let them sit for a few minutes. Avoid excessive water to prevent colours from becoming too diluted.

Colours appear weak or faded.

Ensure you are using sufficient pigment and allowing the layers to dry properly. Consider using a higher-quality watercolour paper to improve the result.
