Quick answers to the questions we hear most. Don't see yours? Reach out to the team.
Black is often used to sharpen edges, add contrast, and deepen shadows. Small amounts can significantly shift the value of surrounding colors, so gradual application typically offers better control. This helps maintain balance without overpowering the composition.
Using steady, overlapping brush strokes can help distribute pigment evenly. Applying moderate layers rather than heavy coats often improves surface consistency. Allowing the paint to dry fully between layers may further refine the result.
The washable design helps remove paint from many fabrics with soap and cold water when addressed promptly. Acting quickly can improve cleanup results, especially on absorbent materials. Checking care instructions beforehand is a helpful precaution.
Having an additional bottle available helps prevent workflow interruptions when paint levels run low. Keeping the second container sealed until needed can help preserve its original texture. This approach supports more efficient paint management.
Securing the caps tightly helps protect the paint from air exposure that could affect consistency. Storing the bottles upright in a moderate environment supports longer usability. Avoiding extreme temperature changes can help preserve smooth flow.
