FAQs
Are these paints safe for children?
Yes, they are designed for classroom use and are washable, making them a safe choice for children's creative activities.
Can I mix the colors?
Yes, you can mix the colors either by layering them on paper or by picking up small amounts of different pigments on your brush.
Do I need special paper for these paints?
While they work on standard drawing paper, using thicker watercolor paper or cardstock will provide better results and prevent buckling.
How long do the blocks last?
Longevity depends on frequency of use, but the 57mm size is substantial and will last through many classroom art projects.
Is the paint toxic?
The product is designed for school use, but always ensure proper art supply hygiene and avoid ingestion.
Troubleshooting
The paint is not picking up on the brush
Ensure the brush is sufficiently wet and swirl it for a few seconds on the surface of the block to soften the pigment.
Colors are becoming muddy on the paper
Rinse your brush thoroughly between colors and use a fresh water supply when transitioning from dark to light shades.
The blocks are cracking
Cracking can occur if the blocks are exposed to extreme heat or direct sunlight; store the set in a moderate, shaded environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Creativ Company Watercolour Set is straightforward. Place the 57mm blocks in a shallow tray or container to keep them stable during use. When working with children, provide a small cup of water for rinsing brushes to prevent color muddiness. After use, simply let the blocks air dry completely before covering or storing them. To ensure longevity, avoid leaving the blocks submerged in water or stored in a high-humidity environment, as this can cause the pigment to degrade or bloom. Store the set in a cool, dry place to prevent the blocks from cracking.
