FAQs
Is the HIMI Gouache set safe for children?
Yes, the set is non-toxic and suitable for artists of all levels, including students and hobbyists.
Can I use these paints like watercolors?
Yes, you can thin the gouache with water to create transparent washes, though it is primarily designed for opaque, matte coverage.
What happens if I forget to close the lids?
The paint may harden. However, because it is water-reactivatable, you can usually restore it by adding water.
How long does the paint stay fresh?
If kept sealed in the provided case, the paint will remain fresh for a significant amount of time; keep it away from direct heat to extend longevity.
Can I mix the colors?
Absolutely. The gouache is highly blendable and can be mixed on a standard palette to create custom shades.
Do I need a special cleaner for my brushes?
No, standard mild soap and warm water are sufficient to clean your brushes after use.
Troubleshooting
The paint surface feels hard or cracked.
Add a small amount of water to the cup, close the lid, and allow it to sit for 30 minutes to rehydrate the pigment.
Colors are bleeding into each other during storage.
Ensure the internal lid is properly aligned and the outer case is snapped shut completely to keep the environment airtight.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure you are using appropriate cold-press or hot-press watercolor paper; avoid overly glossy surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the set, peel back the film seals on the jelly cups and keep the protective inner lid clean to ensure an airtight seal. For best results, use synthetic brushes as they hold and release the creamy pigment more effectively than natural hair brushes. If you notice the surface of the paint becoming stiff, add a few drops of clean water and cover the container to let it hydrate for several minutes. Cleaning is straightforward: wash brushes with mild soap and water immediately after use. Always store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the gouache from drying out prematurely.
