Specifications

Ideal For

• School students
• First time watercolour painters
• Home and classroom art

Perfect for

• School drawing and colouring work
• Simple washes and backgrounds
• Greeting cards
• Colour mixing practice

Compatibility

Works with: watercolour paper, cartridge paper, round brushes and a water pot.

Pairs well with: a mixing palette when you want more shades than the tray holds.

Not suitable for: canvas, fabric or wood; watercolour is made for paper, and it stays water soluble once dry, so the finished painting is not waterproof.

Before You Buy

• Shades come as a fixed assorted set of 12.
• Thin paper will wrinkle when wet; thicker paper gives a cleaner result.

How to Use

1. Wet the brush and drop a little water on a cake.
2. Rub the brush on the cake to pick up colour.
3. Paint on paper, working from light to dark.
4. Rinse the brush between shades and let the painting dry flat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many colours are in the DOMS 12 shade Aqua set?
It has 12 watercolour cakes and one brush.

How is the 12 shade set different from the 24 and 36 shade sets?
It is the smallest starter size. The 24 and 36 shade sets give more ready colours, so you mix less.

Can I paint on normal notebook paper?
You can, but thin paper wrinkles. Cartridge or watercolour paper gives smoother colour.
