FAQs
What is the best type of paper to use with this set?
For the best results, we recommend using watercolour paper. This paper is thicker and designed to handle water without warping or tearing, allowing the colours to be more vibrant and blend smoothly.
How do I clean the brush that comes with the set?
After each use, rinse the brush with clean water until all paint is removed. Gently reshape the bristles and let it air dry. Store it lying flat or hanging bristles-up.
Can adults use this paint set?
Yes, absolutely! The age range is listed as 4-99, making it suitable for anyone, from young children learning to paint to adults looking for a casual and portable watercolour set.
How many colours are included?
This specific COLORTIME set includes 14 different colours.
Is this set suitable for professional artists?
While this set is great for beginners, children, and hobbyists, professional artists may prefer sets with higher-grade pigments and more extensive colour ranges. This set is ideal for practice, learning, and casual creativity.
Can I mix colours with this set?
Yes, the set includes a mixing palette (the inside of the lid) where you can combine colours to create new shades. The colours are designed to blend well with each other.
What material is the case made of?
The case is made of durable plastic.
Troubleshooting
Paints seem dry or difficult to pick up
Ensure you are using enough water on your brush. A slightly wetter brush will activate the pigments more effectively. Allow a moment for the water to soak into the paint pan.
Brush bristles are splayed
Rinse the brush thoroughly with water, gently reshape the bristles with your fingers, and allow it to air dry. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Colours appear dull
Try layering colours or using more pigment. Ensure you are painting on suitable watercolour paper, which helps colours appear more vibrant.
Case won't close properly
Check that the brush and paint pans are dry and properly seated within the case. Remove any excess moisture or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This set requires no assembly. Simply open the plastic case, moisten your brush with water, and apply it to the watercolour pans to pick up colour. The lid of the case can be used as a mixing palette for creating custom shades.
Compatibility: This watercolour paint set is designed for use with watercolour paper. Using standard printer paper may result in buckling or the paint bleeding through. The paints are water-soluble.
Care:
- Cleaning the Brush: Rinse the included brush with clean water after each use and reshape the bristles. Allow it to air dry.
- Cleaning the Palette: Wipe the inside of the lid (mixing palette) with a damp cloth to remove any residual paint. Ensure it is dry before closing the case.
- Storage: Store the set in a cool, dry place. Ensure the case is closed securely to prevent the paints from drying out excessively or dust from accumulating.
