FAQs
Are these paints suitable for children?
Yes, the HIMI Solid Watercolour Pan Set features non-toxic pigments, making it safe for student and classroom use.
Can I replace the individual pans?
The set is designed as a self-contained unit; while you can continue to use the wells, they are not intended to be individually removed or refilled.
Is this set archival quality?
This set is ideal for hobbyists, students, and sketching. It is not classified as archival-grade, which is typically required for professional fine art sales.
How do I clean the brush?
Rinse the synthetic brush in clean water until the water runs clear, gently reshape the bristles, and let it air dry vertically or lying flat.
Can I use these with other watercolour sets?
Yes, these paints are compatible with most standard water-based paints and can be mixed with other watercolour brands.
Troubleshooting
Colors appear dull or faint
The brush is likely too dry. Add more water to the pan to fully activate the pigment and pick up more color.
Hard film forming on top of pans
This is common with over-wetting. Let the pans air dry overnight and avoid scrubbing them with too much pressure.
Pigments staining the mixing palette
Wipe the mixing surface immediately after use. For stubborn stains, use a very mild soap solution and a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, simply open the snail-shaped casing to reveal the pans. Use a standard cup of water to dampen your brush and swirl it gently over the desired color. To maintain the longevity of the set, always allow the pans to air dry completely before closing the lid to prevent mold or pigment transfer.
For cleaning, wipe the mixing area of the lid with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent staining. The synthetic brush should be rinsed thoroughly with cold water and reshaped to maintain its point. Store the unit in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the pigments.
