FAQs

What surfaces can I use these acrylic paints on?

The paints are versatile and can be used on canvas, paper, wood, fabric, and other primed art surfaces.

Are these paints suitable for outdoor use?

While the paints are durable once dry, they are not specifically formulated for outdoor elements and may fade or degrade over time when exposed to direct sunlight and weather. Sealing artwork with an outdoor-appropriate varnish is recommended.

How many colors are included in the set?

The set includes 12 different colors: Lemon Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Vermillion, Crimson Red, Violet, Royal Blue, Atlas Blue, Viridian, Emerald Green, Burnt Umber, Lamp Black, and Titanium White.

What is the volume of each paint tube?

Each acrylic paint tube contains 12ml of paint.

Do I need to prime the surface before painting?

Priming is generally recommended, especially for surfaces like raw canvas or wood, to ensure better paint adhesion and a smoother finish. While the paints can adhere to unprimed surfaces, priming optimizes results.

Can I mix these acrylic paints with other brands?

Yes, acrylic paints from different brands are generally compatible and can be mixed together.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying, typically drying to the touch within minutes, though drying time can vary based on paint thickness and environmental humidity.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears too thick

Add a small amount of water or acrylic medium to the paint on the palette and mix thoroughly. Start with minimal liquid to avoid thinning the paint too much.

Paint is drying too quickly on the brush

Work faster or use a brush with a higher water retention capacity. Alternatively, use a retarder medium with the paint or keep a spray bottle of water handy to lightly mist your palette and brush.

Colors are not blending smoothly

Ensure you are using a sufficient amount of paint and blending while the paint is still wet. Consider using a blending medium or retarder to extend the open time of the paint.

Paint is difficult to remove from brushes

Clean brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water. If paint has dried, try soaking the brush head in rubbing alcohol or a specialized brush cleaner.
