Quick answers to the questions we hear most. Don't see yours? Reach out to the team.
Tempera cakes are solid blocks of paint that activate when water is applied, offering more control over how much pigment is used. This format can help reduce spills and simplify paint management during creative sessions. It also allows the paint to dry and be reused later.
The pigments are designed to mix smoothly, making it possible to create additional shades directly on the palette or paper. Working with moderate amounts of water can help improve transitions between colors. Testing blends beforehand may provide more predictable results.
Integrated wells help keep water contained within the tray, supporting a more organized painting area. This layout can make it easier to control brush moisture without reaching for separate containers. Keeping water levels moderate can help maintain color strength.
After painting, replacing the clear cover and allowing the cakes to air dry helps preserve their structure. Proper drying can prevent the surface from becoming overly soft. Storing the tray in a stable location supports long-term usability.
The cakes are designed to dry back into a usable form after exposure to water. Minor surface changes can occur naturally, but this typically does not affect performance. Reactivating the surface with water should restore color pickup.
