Mineral pigments are not as bright and saturated as synthetic pigments. Some of them especially Greens Earths do not have big tint strength. They are perfect for painting nature, and autumn and will give an antique look to your paintings. It is very easy to create color harmony with them.
Each color palette comes with an empty 300g/m2, 100% cotton cold-pressed watercolor paper card ready to be painted by you. Note: Let the pans dry after painting before closing them into the box. To activate paints put a few drops in the pans and wait for 3-4 minutes.
Safety precautions for using watercolor paints: Do not ingest, lick or put watercolor on your skin. Wash your hands after using watercolors. Do not use eating and drinking cups and plates for painting. Please keep children and pets away from the pans - they present a choking hazard and are not intended for use by children.
