Watercolour Paint Set | 12 Shades x 25 ml Bottles | With Brush - School Art

Paint big, bright pictures without running short of colour. This watercolour set has 12 shades in 25 ml bottles and one nylon brush, which is far more paint than a small cake tray gives. The colour comes ready mixed; add water on a palette to make any shade lighter and more transparent.

Specifications

Compatibility

Pairs well with: a few extra round brushes for fine detail.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much paint is in this set?
There are 12 bottles of 25 ml each, plus one nylon brush.

How is this different from watercolour cakes?
Cakes are dry pans you wake with a wet brush. These bottles are ready mixed, so you get more colour and can cover large washes faster.

Can I use this watercolour on canvas?
It is made for paper. Use watercolour or drawing paper; for canvas, acrylic paint is the better choice.
