Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This watercolour is ready to use directly from the tube. To begin, gently squeeze a small amount of paint onto your palette. Allow it to sit for a moment to slightly dry, which can improve rewetting.
Compatibility:
Rosa Gallery watercolours are compatible with most watercolour papers, blocks, and canvases. They can be used with other professional-grade watercolours, gouache, and inks. For best results, use with natural or synthetic watercolour brushes.
Care:
- Cleaning Brushes: Wash brushes thoroughly with water immediately after use.
- Palette Care: Clean your palette after each session to prevent paint from drying permanently. If paint dries on the palette, it can usually be reactivated with water.
- Storage: Store the tube cap tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
