Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick or difficult to apply.
Thin the paint with a small amount of water until the desired consistency is achieved. Add water gradually to prevent over-thinning.
Colors appear dull after drying.
Ensure the surface is properly primed. Apply thin, even coats to maximize vibrancy. Consider applying a sealant or varnish once the artwork is completely dry to enhance the colors.
Paint is not adhering properly to the surface.
Make sure the surface is clean and free of dust or oils. Use a primer suitable for the surface you are painting on. If using on fabric, pre-wash to remove sizing.
