To cleanly unwrap our paints, pop them in the freezer for 15 mins since some of them might have turned sticky in transit (this is natural as the heat during transport might activate the honey in the paints.)
Once they’ve frozen for a bit, it’ll be easy to peel off the wrapper without any paint sticking to it.
For the BESTEST, creamiest experience of our luxury watercolors, mist the pans with water, and let it sit for a minute or two before you paint with them. This will give you the highest color payoff at the lightest touch of your brush.
When you’re done, please air dry our paints and store them in a dry area with your palette lid open. Dark, damp conditions and humid weather might encourage mold growth on the paints because of local mold spores, not because of any impurity in the paints.
It is natural for some paints to have cracked surfaces by their nature. However, we assure you, the cracks don't affect the performance of the paints.
This is going to sound wild. But once you receive our handmade watercolors, put them in your freezer. This will help solidify your paints if they’ve gotten activated and become slightly sticky during transit (this is natural because there is a lot of heat during transport and it might activate the honey in the paints.)
Each paint pan is magnetized to stick firmly in metal palettes.
