FAQs
Is this paint vegan-friendly?
Rosa Gallery watercolours use natural binders; it is recommended to check the specific packaging for details on the binder source.
Can I mix this with other watercolour brands?
Yes, this pan is fully compatible with most other professional-grade watercolour brands.
What does 'lightfastness' mean for my art?
Lightfastness refers to the paint's resistance to fading when exposed to light, ensuring your artwork remains bright over many years.
Is the Bright Red a staining colour?
Due to its composition, it has moderate staining properties, which is typical for high-pigment professional reds.
How long does a 2.5ml pan last?
Because it is highly pigmented, a little paint goes a long way, making even a small 2.5ml pan last through many projects.
Should I use a medium with this paint?
While it can be used with water alone, you can mix it with standard watercolour mediums for texture or extended drying time.
Troubleshooting
Paint is hard to lift from the pan
Use a damp brush to 'prime' the surface of the pan by letting a few drops of water sit on the paint for 30 seconds.
Colour appears streaky
Ensure you are using high-quality watercolour paper; low-quality paper can absorb water unevenly and cause uneven pigment distribution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, remove the protective wrapper and place the 2.5ml pan into your watercolour metal or plastic travel tin. The pan is designed to fit standard professional-grade watercolour palettes.
Best Practices:
- Water Quality: Use distilled or filtered water to ensure the purity of the pigment remains unaffected by minerals.
- Brush Selection: Use natural sable or high-quality synthetic watercolour brushes to get the best flow.
- Storage: Store your palette in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Maintenance: If the surface becomes dusty, lightly mist with water to restore the texture. Ensure the paint is fully dry before closing the lid to prevent mildew.
