Product Information
Full details
The HIMI Gouache Set is an ideal painting solution for artists ranging from hobbyists to professionals who value rich pigmentation and a creamy, velvety matte finish. Its primary benefit lies in the innovative 30ml jelly cup design, which preserves paint moisture and organization within a portable carrying case. One minor caveat to note is that while the paint is highly versatile and easy to reactivate, users should manage their water-to-paint ratio carefully to avoid overly thinning the opaque formula.

FAQs
Is this paint permanent once dry?
Gouache is water-soluble. It will dry to a matte finish, but it can be reactivated with water at any time.
Can I mix these colors with other gouache brands?
Yes, the HIMI gouache is compatible with most other water-based gouache brands.
What type of paper works best?
Heavy-weight watercolor paper, specifically 140lb (300gsm) or higher, is recommended to prevent buckling.
How do I prevent the jelly cups from getting messy?
Wipe the rims of the cups clean with a damp cloth before closing the lid to ensure a proper airtight seal.
Are the brushes included high quality?
The included brushes are synthetic and suitable for beginners to get started with various painting techniques.
Can I use these with acrylics?
It is not recommended to mix gouache directly with acrylics, as they have different binding properties.
Troubleshooting
Paint feels too thick or chalky
Add a few drops of water and stir gently with a brush until the desired creamy consistency is achieved.
Colors are bleeding into each other during layering
Ensure the first layer is completely dry before applying a secondary layer, and use less water on your brush.
Paint surface in the cup has cracked
This is normal for gouache; simply use a spray bottle to lightly mist the surface with water and let it sit for a few minutes to reactivate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HIMI Gouache Set lasts, always seal the lids of the jelly cups tightly after each use. Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can alter pigment consistency over time. For best results, use these paints on heavy-weight watercolor paper or mixed-media pads, as these surfaces can withstand the water content better than standard printer paper. To clean your brushes, simply rinse them thoroughly with warm water and mild soap immediately after use to prevent paint from hardening in the bristles.
