FAQs
Are these paints safe for children?
Yes, these paints are non-toxic, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children.
Can I use these paints outdoors?
No, because the paint is washable and water-based, it is not suitable for outdoor use where it might be exposed to rain.
Will this paint stain my clothes?
Being washable, it typically removes easily from most fabrics with soap and water, but it is best to treat stains immediately.
Can I seal the paint once it has dried?
You can apply a clear acrylic varnish over the dried tempera to protect the finish and make it water-resistant.
How long do the paints last once opened?
If the lids are kept tightly closed and the paint is kept free from contamination, they should remain usable for a significant period.
Can I mix these with other types of paint?
It is not recommended to mix tempera with oil-based paints as they have incompatible binders.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears thick or clumpy
Add a few drops of clean water and stir thoroughly until the desired consistency is achieved.
Paint is not adhering to a specific surface
Ensure the surface is free of oils, wax, or dust; if the surface is too smooth, lightly sand it to improve grip.
Colours are drying too fast on the palette
Use a damp sponge underneath your palette or mist the paint lightly with a water spray bottle to keep it workable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare for a project, ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. While the paint adheres to metal, ensure the surface is not oily or overly slick, as tempera may need a light scuffing on polished metals to stay attached.
Application Tips:
- Shake or stir the paint pots slightly if separation occurs due to storage.
- Use a standard palette or plastic tray to mix colours before applying to your final project.
- Thin the paint slightly with a few drops of water if you require a more translucent wash effect.
Care Instructions:
- Always close the lids tightly after use to prevent the paint from drying out in the pots.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- If the paint gets on clothing, rinse with warm water and soap as soon as possible for the best cleaning results.
