How to use

Set up a flat surface with paper, water, a brush, and the Faber-Castell watercolor set. Ensure the area is protected from spills, especially if working indoors. — Prepare Your Workspace
Dip your brush in water, then swirl it in a paint pan to pick up color. Use the included mixing tray (lid) to blend colors, adding a touch of white paint for lighter shades or custom hues. — Mix Colors
Apply the mixed watercolor to your paper. Experiment with layering colors or try a resist effect by coloring with a white crayon first, then applying watercolor washes over it. — Paint Your Artwork
Rinse your brush thoroughly. Wash any paint from hands, surfaces, and the mixing tray with soap and water. Store the pans securely in the reusable plastic case. — Clean Up
