Brite Dunwall Dawn

Not edible, these are not things to eat, sniff, taste, lick, or anything with the mouth. If paint accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse well with water. 

To prepare your paints for use. Spritz, spray or drop of water on surface of paints to activate. Let water rest on surface for a few moments. Dip brush and enjoy!

Watercolor pans that are in humid environments can grow mold. The best way to handle that is to make sure your paints dry completely and the tin they are in stays dry as well. If you are in a humid environment they are more prone to that. I have not experienced this with my paints that I have made. If your paints get dry, a little spritz of water will activate them. Also a drop of glycerine will return that velvety feel from the paints and pigments. I use vegetable glycerin. You can store them with a little bucket of damp rid if you wish. Check the blog for more information on mold in watercolors. It can be a complicated clean up process, but your watercolors are not lost! 

I use a homemade binder that contains ox-gall and gum arabic, so it is not vegan. I use a wide range of pigments to get the best result and mixes and blends.
Sometimes when curing the paint dries and shrinks into the half pan. This shrinking will look as if there is less product, but it all started out with 2ml. As most half pans are 1.8 ml. I do try to do layering with paint. But again the product does dry and can shrink.

Packaging

 We all know how UPS, FEDEX and Postal Service tend to yeet packages for entertainment. 

I will package things as tightly as I can so that they do not get jostled. There is no guarantee, but I do what I can. 

All pans come individually wrapped. The paint can be a little sticky, but has been cured for more than 90 days before listing. With the heat of summer it very well could melt slightly or stick to the wax paper that is placed on top. I take a lot of care that these are dried, but I cannot control the weather or the temperature. Please be aware if your area is hot that you might have some of it stick to the top wrapper. You can put them somewhere cold for 24 hours and the paper tends to release easier, but most of the time it is hardened enough that it does not do that and is more prone to being jostled and broken. Again I do try to not let that happen, but Murphy's Law of any delivery service is if it says Fragile they will take that as a challenge.
