Troubleshooting
Paint appears too translucent
Apply multiple thin layers to build up color density and opacity. Allow layers to dry partially between applications.
Paint is drying too quickly on the palette
Use a stay-wet palette or mist your palette with water periodically. Only dispense small amounts of paint at a time.
Difficulty achieving smooth blends
Ensure you are using enough water and a suitable brush. Work on damp paper or re-wet the paint on the paper to extend working time.
Color seems duller than expected
Make sure the paint is fully activated with water on the palette. Use clean water and avoid overworking the pigment, which can muddy the color.
