Troubleshooting

Paint appears dull or chalky.

Ensure you are using enough water when activating the paint. Excessive dry pigment can appear chalky. Also, try applying to a pre-primed surface if using on less absorbent materials.

Colours are not blending smoothly.

Work on wet-on-wet or re-wet the area you are blending into. Ensure your brush is adequately moist but not dripping excessively.

Paint is difficult to rinse from brushes.

Rinse brushes immediately after use with cool water until all pigment is gone. For stubborn pigment, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly.

Paint has dried out in the palette.

Add a small amount of water to the dried block and let it sit for a few minutes to rehydrate. Avoid over-saturating.
