FAQs About Watercolour Paint

Watercolour paint should be used on watercolour paper, which is designed to absorb water without warping. Choose cold-pressed or hot-pressed paper for different textures and effects.

Watercolour pans are dry blocks ideal for travel and quick work, while tubes contain moist paint for stronger colour intensity and easier mixing in larger areas.

Use soft, absorbent brushes like sable or synthetic watercolour brushes. They hold water and pigment well, enabling smooth washes and detailed brushwork on textured paper.

Yes, watercolours are transparent and ideal for layering. Apply light washes first, then build depth gradually. Ensure each layer dries before applying the next for clean results.

Frame the painting behind glass or spray it with a fixative designed for watercolours. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading, and use acid-free mounts for long-term protection.

Store tubes with tightly sealed caps in a cool, dry place. Pans can remain in palettes. Allow both to dry completely after use to prevent mould and prolong shelf life.
